Kings' Precious Achiuwa: Strong line in loss Sunday
Rotowire
Achiuwa amassed 27 points (10-21 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-11 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block across 35 minutes during Sunday's 122-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Even though he's no longer a young player, it's clear that Achiuwa took advantage of his opportunity to play regular rotation minutes with the Kings, and he showed he can still be a productive player when given a big enough role. Achiuwa made a career-high 57 starts and posted personal-best numbers in points (10.1), rebounds (6.7), assists (1.4) and steals (0.9) per game while playing 23.9 minutes per game, another career-high mark.

Achiuwa surpassed his previous season high in rebounds (15) by a sizable margin and came just one point shy of matching his season-high scoring mark. The veteran big man seems comfortable playing heavy minutes for the injury-ravaged Kings, and he's gunning to end the season on a strong note. Achiuwa is averaging 16.2 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks per game since the beginning of March (15 appearances).

Rotowire
Achiuwa finished with 14 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 FT), 15 rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes during Sunday's 126-122 win over the Nets.
The 15 boards were a season best for Achiuwa, who collected his 10th double-double of the year. The sixth-year forward has filled in admirably for the injured Domantas Sabonis (knee) at power forward this season. Over his last nine contests, Achiuwa has averaged 15.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.2 blocks in 32.3 minutes per game while shooting 57.7 percent from the floor during this stretch.

Kings' Precious Achiuwa: Explodes for 25/13 double-double
Rotowire
Achiuwa notched 25 points (10-14 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and four blocks across 37 minutes during Saturday's 118-109 victory over the Clippers.
Achiuwa added a season-high four blocks to his double-double total and was a critical piece of the unlikely win. Keegan Murray (ankle) is still weeks away from returning, but it will be hard to take Achiuwa off the floor considering his effectiveness as a starter. The Memphis product has averaged 15.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.2 blocked shots over 14 consecutive starting appearances.

Rotowire

Achiuwa put together a well-rounded line in this loss and continues to take advantage of increased playing time on a shorthanded Kings squad. Over his last seven games, he's been on fire with 16.7 points, 9.4 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.1 blocks in 32.5 minutes per contest.

The 29 points led all scorers on the night, while the 12 boards led all rebounders. Achiuwa has seven double-doubles on the season, with four of them coming in the last eight games. During that stretch, he's averaging 17.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.5 steals and 1.1 blocks in 32.3 minutes while shooting 59.4 percent from the floor.
Kings' Precious Achiuwa: Continues strong play as fill-in
Rotowire
Achiuwa recorded 18 points (8-14 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 114-103 loss to Phoenix.
Achiuwa has settled into a consistent role during Keegan Murray's (ankle) injury. Murray will be out for at least another week, making the sixth-year pro a popular fantasy add off the waiver wire. Although Achiuwa will be free to shop himself around in the offseason, it may be hard to find the kind of playing time he could receive with the rebuilding Kings. Over nine starting appearances, Achiuwa has averaged 13.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.7 steals.

Achiuwa led the Kings in scoring and rebounding, and he contributed on the defensive end after failing to record either a block or a steal in his last showing Wednesday against Houston. The Memphis product has made seven straight starts for Sacramento and is averaging 14.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.9 steals in 26.7 minutes per game during this stretch.
Achiuwa provided 22 points (10-15 FG, 2-3 FT), 12 rebounds, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Monday's 123-114 win over the Grizzlies.
Achiuwa scored with efficiency during Monday's matchup, and he's now put up 14 or more points in three consecutive games. He's also been a force on the boards lately by collecting two double-doubles in his previous three showings. Achiuwa is averaging 12.8 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks over his last five outings.
