Eligibility
Availability
Precious Achiuwa served as a bright spot for the second unit during the loss to Phoenix, recording 14 points on nearly perfect 6-of-7 shooting. He added five rebounds, three assists, and a steal across 25 minutes of action.
Fantasy Impact
The performance highlighted a potential shift in the frontcourt hierarchy, as Achiuwa played 11 more minutes than starter Drew Eubanks. While Eubanks did grab nine rebounds, his overall effectiveness in filling the void left by Domantas Sabonis (knee) has been limited. Given Achiuwa's superior production, a move to the starting lineup appears to be a distinct possibility in the near future.
Precious Achiuwa struggled on Thursday, notching only two points, five rebounds, and two assists in 24 minutes of action against the Grizzlies.
Fantasy Impact
Achiuwa has been inconsistent this season, topping 10 points only three times and exceeding five rebounds only four times. Even in fellow big man Domantas Sabonis’ absence, Achiuwa is not fantasy relevant in most formats for the foreseeable future.
Precious Achiuwa is available for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Fantasy Impact
Achiuwa, originally listed as questionable with an illness, is set to play on Sunday. This season with the Sacramento Kings, he’s averaging 6.7 points and 4.7 rebounds in 18.8 minutes per game.
Precious Achiuwa (illness) is considered questionable for Sunday's game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Fantasy Impact
Achiuwa recently came down with an illness of some kind. He is day-to-day as a result and is officially considered questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs. If he is cleared to play and Domantas Sabonis (ribs) is ruled out, then he will be primed for a lot more work than usual against San Antonio.
Precious Achiuwa recored a double-double in his first start of the season in Sunday's 144-117 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves, recorded 12 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3PT, 2-3 FT) with 10 rebounds and one block.
Fantasy Impact
Achiuwa made his first start of the season and logged a season-high 29 minutes, finishing with his first double-double of the year. After a strong showing, he could remain in the starting lineup for Tuesday’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets. He’s someone to keep an eye on over the next few games, as he could be worth a waiver-wire pickup while Keegan Murray (thumb) remains sidelined.
