Precious Achuwa scored 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3PT, 0-0 FT) and grabbed 10 rebounds during Sacramento's 131-94 loss to Orlando on Thursday night. He added one assist, four steals, and two blocks.
Fantasy Impact
It was Achiuwa's fourth double-double of the season and it snapped a string of 10 straight games where he failed to reach double figures in scoring. Achiuwa is averaging only 6.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in six February games, but he's likely to receive more minutes down the stretch with the Kings struggling and their roster depleted by injuries.
Achiuwa carries a questionable designation for Wednesday's game against Toronto due to right ankle soreness. The contest represents Sacramento's second game in two nights.
Fantasy Impact
With Domantas Sabonis sitting out for rest, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell would handle the center minutes if Achiuwa is also unavailable.
Achiuwa finished with 16 points on 7-of-8 shooting Friday while adding six rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one three-pointer against the Wizards. He's been operating in Sacramento's starting lineup with Keegan Murray (ankle) sidelined. Over his last four games, Achiuwa has averaged 13.8 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 1.5 blocks while shooting 61.1 percent from the field across 33.8 minutes per contest.
Fantasy Impact
Friday's efficient performance continued Achiuwa's strong four-game stretch. His recent production has come with expanded minutes in Murray's absence for the Kings.
Achiuwa established new season bests in both points and rebounds Wednesday, recording his third double-double of the campaign with 20 points and 14 boards in Sacramento's victory over New York. Facing his former team for the first time since departing via free agency over the summer, he shot 7-of-14 from the field and converted four of seven free throws while adding two assists, two steals, two blocks and two three-pointers.
Fantasy Impact
The complete stat line represented Achiuwa's most productive performance as a King. Despite starting regularly for Sacramento recently, the 20 points and 14 rebounds both surpassed his previous season highs against the Knicks.
Precious Achiuwa scored a season-high 17 points (7-7 FG, 1-1 3PT, 2-4 FT) off the bench in Sunday's 117-103 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves. He added six rebounds and one block
Fantasy Impact
Achiuwa took advantage of increased minutes with Drew Eubanks (thumb) sidelined, knocking down all seven of his shots and recording six rebounds. With Eubanks expected to miss at least three weeks, Achiuwa should continue to see a boost in playing time, making him an intriguing streaming option.
