Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Fails to score in loss
Achiuwa racked up zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one steal over 10 minutes during Saturday's 97-94 loss to Golden State.
Achiuwa failed to score for the second straight game, continuing his recent run of unproductivity. After playing a sizeable role earlier in the year, during which he played at least 30 minutes in seven straight games, Achiuwa has been relegated to a backup role. In five games over the past two weeks, he is averaging 3.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per contest.

Achiuwa (hamstring) will be in the starting lineup for the Knicks on Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Achiuwa has missed two of the Knicks' last three games but is slated to return Friday to face the Clippers. The 25-year-old big man will have to help shoulder the load in the paint with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) ruled out for this game in Los Angeles.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Iffy Friday
Achiuwa (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.
Achiuwa is in jeopardy of missing both halves of the club's back-to-back set due to left hamstring tightness. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) having been ruled out already, the club may have to rely on its starters in the frontcourt to soak up more playing time, though Anton Watson and MarJon Beauchamp could provide some emergency relief.

Achiuwa (hamstring) won't play Thursday against the Lakers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Iffy for Wednesday
Achiuwa is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to left hamstring tightness.
Achiuwa is at risk of being sidelined for the second time in three games as he deals with what seems to be a minor hamstring injury. With OG Anunoby (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (injury recovery) questionable for the contest, Achiuwa could be pushed into a larger role if available.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Pulls down 15 rebounds
Achiuwa chipped in eight points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 15 rebounds and one block across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-102 loss to the Warriors.
The Knicks were a bit depleted in terms of frontcourt depth due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (personal), and although Precious Achiuwa did what he could off the bench, his offensive production was limited. He was a dominant force on the glass, though, and grabbed double-digit boards for the fourth time since the beginning of February. He's achieved that mark seven times in 2024-25 already.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Swats four shots vs. Sixers
Achiuwa supplied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 win over Philadelphia.
Achiuwa saw most of his minutes in the second half after Ariel Hukporti left at the 9:04 mark of the third quarter due to a left knee sprain. Achiuwa took advantage of the extra court time as he played alongside the starters and recorded all four of his blocks in the second half. Achiuwa could be in the starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Friday if Hukporti and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) are unable to suit up.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Back to bench Sunday
Achiuwa won't start Sunday's game against the Celtics, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.
Achiuwa has made seven straight starts, but with OG Anunoby (foot) and Josh Hart (knee) available, Achiuwa will shift back to his usual bench role. As a reserve this season (27 games), Achiuwa has averaged 5.9 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.7 steals-plus-blocks in 19.1 minutes per game.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Game-high 10 rebounds Friday
Achiuwa had seven points (3-10 FG, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Friday's 142-105 loss to the Cavaliers.
Despite the return of OG Anunoby (foot) on Friday, Achiuwa was able to maintain a spot in New York's starting lineup in the absence of Josh Hart (knee) and collected a game-high 10 rebounds. Achiuwa should be able to hang onto solid streaming value in fantasy leagues until the Knicks' first unit is back to full strength, with the 25-year-old big man averaging 11.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 blocks in 35.2 minutes through eight games as starter this year.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Sets new season-high scoring mark
Achiuwa contributed 26 points (12-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 42 minutes during Wednesday's 149-148 overtime victory over Atlanta.
Achiuwa finished just one point away from tying his career-high scoring mark, established in a win over the Trail Blazers in the 2022-23 season when he was a member of the Raptors. The big man has scored in double digits or grabbed double-digit boards in three of his previous four appearances. Since the beginning of February, he's averaged 12.8 points, 9.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.2 steals per game.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Ties for game high with 12 boards
Achiuwa produced nine points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists and one block over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 128-115 win over the Pacers.
From a fantasy standpoint, Achiuwa continues to benefit from the absence of OG Anunoby (foot). He tied for the game high in rebounds Tuesday during his fourth consecutive start for the Knicks. Achiuwa would remain in the streaming conversation if Anunoby remains sidelined for Wednesday's tilt against Atlanta, as the former has averaged 9.8 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.6 blocks in 33.0 minutes while shooting 54.3 percent from the field through five games as a starter in 2024-25.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Season-best performance
Achiuwa fouled out of Tuesday's 121-115 victory over the Raptors after recording 17 points (7-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals over 36 minutes.
Achiuwa was fantastic in the win, scoring a season-high 17 points to go with five combined steals and blocks. He has now played at least 30 minutes in three straight games, averaging 13.0 points, 10.7 rebounds and 2.0 steals. As long as OG Anunoby (foot) is out, Achiuwa should continue to play a sizeable role for the Knicks.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Balanced outing in starting lineup
Achiuwa recorded seven points (2-3 FG, 3-4 FT), nine rebounds and two steals over 34 minutes in Monday's 124-118 win over Houston.
Achiuwa got the starting nod Monday with OG Anunoby (foot) sidelined, recording team-high-tying marks in rebounds and steals while coming up one board shy of the double-digit mark. Achiuwa has started in two contests this season, averaging 10.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. He has now hauled in nine or more boards in six appearances.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Starting sans Anunoby
Achiuwa will start in Monday's game against the Rockets, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.
While Miles McBride was originally slated to start with OG Anunoby (foot) sidelined, the Knicks will go with Achiuwa. The 25-year-old saw an uptick in playing time off the bench after Anunoby went down in Saturday's loss to the Lakers, and over his last five outings, Achiuwa has averaged 10.4 points, 6.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 22.2 minutes per contest.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Double-doubles off bench Saturday
Achiuwa finished Saturday's 128-112 loss to the Lakers with 15 points (6-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 15 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 29 minutes.
With OG Anunoby leaving early with a foot injury Saturday, Achiuwa stepped up off New York's bench and crashed the boards for a team-high 15 rebounds en route to his second double-double of the campaign. Through his last eight appearances, Achiuwa has averaged 8.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.6 steals and 1.1 blocks in 24.2 minutes per game. With Anunoby's status uncertain for Monday's tilt against Houston, Achiuwa makes sense as a speculative add in deeper fantasy leagues.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Plays well with 14 points
Achiuwa accumulated 14 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four steals over 20 minutes during Monday's 143-106 win over the Grizzlies.
Achiuwa notched season highs in points and steals, as he was able to take advantage of some garbage time in the lopsided win. Fantasy managers won't want to overreact to this outlier, as Achiuwa is averaging 6.4 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 18.2 minutes across 14 January outings.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Season-high 30 minutes sans Towns
Achiuwa chipped in 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, three blocks and one steal across 30 minutes during Wednesday's 125-119 overtime victory over the 76ers.
It was the first time Achiuwa reached double digits in scoring since a Jan. 6 loss to Orlando, and the 25-year-old ended up getting more playing time Wednesday than starting center Jericho Sims, who logged 23 minutes. Achiuwa has now played three games this year with Karl-Anthony Towns (thumb) sidelined, averaging 8.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.3 blocks and 0.7 steals in 26.8 minutes while shooting 73.3 percent from the field in those contests. With Towns' status up in the air ahead of Friday's clash with the Timberwolves, Achiuwa appears to be worth a speculative add in deep fantasy leagues.

Knicks' Precious Achiuwa: Quiet in win
Achiuwa amassed four points (2-2 FG), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 15 minutes during Sunday's 140-106 win over the Bucks.
Minutes have been hard to come by in New York for Achiuwa behind a healthy Karl-Anthony Towns. Achiuwa has been limited to 15 minutes or less in three straight games, scoring a combined 12 points in that stretch.
