SAC • Center and Power Forward • #5

Achiuwa was outstanding on Wednesday, grabbing a season-high 19 rebounds and recording his 11th double-double of the season. By comparison, he recorded 12 double-doubles in his previous two seasons combined. The Kings’ frontcourt injuries have opened the door for Achiuwa, and on most nights, he’s taken advantage. Sacramento plays two more games in Week 23, starting with the Pelicans on Friday.

While he had a rough night at the foul line, Achiuwa once again provided solid value in points, rebounds and field-goal percentage. Since the All-Star break, he has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats, exceeding expectations by a sizable distance. The Kings’ three games in Week 23 don’t include a back-to-back, which bodes well for Achiuwa’s availability.

Rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Achiuwa has been a fourth-round player in eight-cat formats since the All-Star break. While Saturday’s stat line was on par with some of the others that he’s recorded since mid-February, the Kings forward was solid in his 20 minutes on the floor. Sunday’s matchup with the Nets looks like a good one for Achiuwa, provided he’s available.

Back in the lineup after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets, Achiuwa recorded the kind of stat line that has made him a popular option during the silly season. Since the All-Star break, the Kings forward has been a top-50 player in eight- and nine-cat formats. Achiuwa is rostered in 35 percent of Yahoo! leagues, so he may still be on the waiver wire in some 12-team formats. With the Kings playing on Saturday and Sunday, adding Achiuwa is worth the risk.

Achiuwa is back after sitting out Tuesday’s loss to the Hornets. His return means that Patrick Baldwin Jr. will head to the bench, and Dylan Cardwell may miss out on a few minutes.

Achiuwa was held out of Tuesday’s blowout loss to the Hornets, with Patrick Baldwin Jr. logging 28 minutes as his replacement in the starting lineup. However, Dylan Cardwell grabbed 11 rebounds in 24 minutes off the bench and is the superior streaming option if Achiuwa remains out.

Achiuwa finished with a 14/15 double-double on Sunday, but he’ll get the night off while dealing with lower back soreness. Dyland Cardwell and Daeqwon Plowden should see additional run against Charlotte with Achiuwa out of action.

Achiuwa, who put up 14 points and 15 rebounds in Sunday’s win over the Nets, is dealing with lower back soreness. If he can’t play on Tuesday, Dylan Cardwll could figure more prominently in the Kings’ rotation.

Given how small the Nets were in the frontcourt on Sunday, this was an excellent matchup for Achiuwa. While the shooting percentages weren’t great, fantasy managers will certainly take the 15 rebounds. The final tally was a season-high in that category, and Achiuwa is up to ten double-doubles on the season. Like fellow starter Maxime Raynaud, the Kings are likely to continue playing Achiuwa heavy minutes for the rest of the season, preserving his fantasy value. With Sacramento scheduled to play four games in Week 22, don’t hesitate to add Precious if he’s on the waiver wire.

Achiuwa continues to shine in Sacramento, as he recorded his second consecutive 20-point double-double on Sunday. Since the All-Star break, the Kings’ forward has provided top-50 value in eight- and nine-cat formats. As long as Achiuwa is playing starters’ minutes, he needs to be rostered in 12-team leagues for the rest of the season.

Achiuwa continues to shine during the silly season, and he has been an excellent option for category league managers. Since the All-Star break, the Kings’ forward has provided third-round value in eight-cat formats. Rostered in 36 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Achiuwa is worth adding in 12-team leagues, especially with the Kings hosting the Jazz on Sunday in their final game of Week 20.

Achiuwa continues to provide solid value to fantasy managers. Since the All-Star break, the Kings’ forward has provided fifth-round value in eight-cat formats. Achiuwa is rostered in 37 percent of Yahoo! leagues, which is too low given his current role and production. With the Kings ending Week 20 with a back-to-back on Saturday and Sunday, Precious is worth the risk in 12-team leagues.

Achiuwa, who’s made the most of his opportunity in Sacramento, had another excellent night on Thursday. In addition to matching his career-high with the 29 points, he recorded a complete stat line and played 41 of a possible 48 minutes. Given the recent production and Sacramento’s limited frontcourt depth, Achiuwa is a must-roster player at this point. The Kings are off until Sunday when they host the Bulls.

Achiuwa has been a popular add in fantasy leagues recently, and with good reason. The 6-foot-8 forward has recorded at least nine rebounds in five straight games and at least one steal and one blocked shot in four of the last five. Rostered in 28 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Achiuwa has been a top-50 player since the All-Star break, according to Basketball Monster. With the Kings headed for the draft lottery, playing time should not be an issue for Achiuwa the rest of this season. If he’s sitting on the waiver wire, pick him up.

Achiuwa has had some big games recently, and this was enough to finally end the Kings’ losing streak. He set a new career high for scoring and had his second 20-point double-double in his last three games. With Sacramento playing the rest of the season without multiple typical starters, Achiuwa will continue to play big minutes, though this type of production won’t come consistently.

Achiuwa did a little bit of everything for the Kings on Thursday. On offense, he shot well and finished as one of the team’s leading scorers. And on defense, he was all over the glass in his 34 minutes of game action, with his efforts leading to a double-double. Meanwhile, he was being versatile enough on that end of the floor to combine for six stocks. Thursday’s performance will go down as one of Achiuwa’s most productive of the season — he will have a chance to log another good performance against the Spurs on Saturday.

The only change to the Kings’ starting lineup will be the return of Achiuwa, who was basically out of the rotation for the last three games after starting for half of December and all of January. That will push Daeqwon Plowden, who was productive on Saturday, back to the bench.

Achiuwa was initially questionable for Wednesday’s game. He’ll be in the starting lineup, playing alongside Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan and Maxime Raynaud.

Achiuwa has been starting for the Kings with Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined. He has had a few strong performances scattered, but the last four games have been his best. During that stretch, he’s averaging 13.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks per game while shooting 61.1 percent from the floor. As long as he continues to start, he’ll have upside as a streamer, especially if he continues to play 33.8 minutes per game like he has during this four-game stretch.

Playing against the Knicks for the first time since leaving in free agency over the summer, Achiuwa had his best performance as a King on Wednesday. Recording his third double-double of the season, he tallied season-highs in points and rebounds, finishing with a complete stat line. While Achiuwa has been a fixture in the starting lineup recently, he has barely been a top-150 player over the past two weeks. Fantasy managers should wait to see more from Precious before leaping based on one exemplary performance.

Achiuwa is back in the starting lineup after being relegated to the bench for Friday’s loss to the Warriors. His promotion comes at the expense of Keon Ellis, who may still be worth streaming given Dennis Schröder’s suspension for the next three games.

While most of the focus has been on Maxime Raynaud (eight points, eight rebounds, two assists and one block) recently, and rightfully so, it was Achiuwa who stole the show on Tuesday. Not only did he match his season high with 15 points, but he also set a new high with 11 rebounds. Add in the defensive stats and Tuesday’s performance by Achiuwa, and some may push to add him. Not so fast, as he totaled nine points and eight rebounds in the previous three games. It’s fine to keep an eye on Achiuwa without rushing to pick him up, especially with the Kings off until Saturday.

Achiuwa has not started a game since November 20, but the absence of Domantas Sabonis (knee) has freed up additional minutes for him, among others. The former first-round pick has reached double figures in five of his last seven appearances, but the overall production has not been good enough to merit being rostered in most leagues. Maxime Raynaud (13/9/3 in 23 minutes) made his second straight start on Monday and remains the superior streaming target while the Kings await Sabonis’ return.

While Drew Eubanks (4/10/2/1 in 14 minutes) has filled the void in the starting lineup left by the injured Domantas Sabonis, Achiuwa has been more valuable to fantasy managers over the past week. Rostered in three percent of Yahoo! leagues, he has been five rounds more valuable than Eubanks in nine-cat formats. Neither Achiuwa nor Eubanks should be considered a must-roster player, but the former should be the preferred option for managers in dire need of a post player.

Achiuwa is available for Sunday’s game against the Spurs despite being listed as questionable with an illness. The 26-year-old power forward will be in the starting lineup alongside Domantas Sabonis.

Achiuwa has been starting lately for Sacramento, but if he isn’t available, Nique Clifford should slide into the starting lineup. There’s also a chance Kings coach Doug Christie rolls out a smaller starting unit, which could mean Keon Ellis gets the starting nod.

Sabonis is back after missing two games with a rib contusion, pushing Drew Eubanks to the bench. The other change to the starting lineup is surprising, with Achiuwa replacing Russell Westbrook. The matchup may have something to do with that, as the Kings have to deal with Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt. Westbrook will play enough to provide solid fantasy value, but this change gives Achiuwa a shot at achieving fantasy relevance.

Sacramento will waive Isaac Jones in a corresponding move. Achiuwa offers frontcourt depth and can make an immediate impact at PF. He’s not on the fantasy radar yet, but managers should keep an eye on his playing time and production.

Miami’s first-round pick in the 2020 draft, Achiuwa, hopes his second stint with the Heat will be more successful than the first. The first order of business for the power forward who spent last season with the Knicks will be to earn a roster spot, as his contract is fully non-guaranteed. In 57 games for the Knicks, Achiuwa averaged 6.6 points, 5.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.5 minutes. Even if he can make Miami’s opening night roster, Achiuwa faces long odds to become fantasy-relevant in 2025-26.
