Pours in career-high 29 points Achiuwa chipped in 29 points (13-19 FG, 3-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds, four assists, one block and three steals over 33 minutes during Thursday's 130-121 victory over Dallas.

Impact Achiuwa led the Kings in scoring and rebounding, and he contributed on the defensive end after failing to record either a block or 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.

Stays hot in victory 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.

Impact 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.

Kings end 16-game skid as Westbrook and Achiuwa lead the way in 123-114 win over Grizzlies

The Sacramento Kings have ended their franchise-worst 16-game losing streak

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Strong showing in loss Achiuwa finished with 14 points (7-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and four steals in 34 minutes during Thursday's 131-94 loss to the Magic.

Impact Making his third straight start, Achiuwa recorded his fourth double-double of the season while setting a new season high in steals. The 26-year-old forward kept his spot in the starting five even with Keegan Murray making his return from an ankle injury, and Achiuwa figures to see an elevated role in the frontcourt the remainder of the campaign with Domantas Sabonis having undergone season-ending knee surgery Wednesday.

Back in mix Achiuwa is starting Monday's game against the Pelicans, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

Impact Achiuwa has fallen out of the rotation over Sacramento's last three games or so, but it appears he's earned himself an opportunity to prove he belongs Monday night. Daeqwon Plowden will move to the bench with Achiuwa sliding into the starting five.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Moves outside rotation Achiuwa (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Wednesday in the Kings' 129-125 loss to the Grizzlies.

Impact Achiuwa had started in each of the Kings' previous 13 games, but after playing less than 15 minutes in both of the past two contests, head coach Doug Christie opted to move him to the bench against Memphis. With De'Andre Hunter making his team debut Wednesday and fortifying the Kings' depth at forward, Achiuwa was dropped from the rotation entirely as Christie instead added guard Devin Carter (24 minutes) to the second unit to compensate for the losses of two backcourt players in Dennis Schroder and Keon Ellis, who were traded to Cleveland in the Hunter deal. Unless Sacramento is without one of its key frontcourt options in a given game moving forward, Achiuwa could find himself out of the rotation for the foreseable future.

Not starting Wednesday Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140Achiuwa isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies, Frankie Cartoscelli of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140...

Impact Achiuwa will come off the bench for just the second time in 26 games, as the Kings roll out a lineup of Russell Westbrook, Zach LaVine, De'Andre Hunter, DeMar DeRozan and Domantas Sabonis. Achiuwa had played just 22 total minutes in his last two appearances, but he should be one of the first bigs off the bench Wednesday.

FEBRUARY 5 • ROTOWIRE

Pulls down 13 rebounds in loss Achiuwa ended Thursday's 113-111 loss to the 76ers with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), 13 rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 34 minutes.

Impact Achiuwa's 13 boards were a game high, and this was his fourth game in January with at least one steal and one block. His minutes fluctuate with the matchup, so he's not much more than a rebounding specialist in deep leagues. Through 16 games in January, Achiuwa has averaged 8.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per contest.

Good to go Achiuwa (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game against Toronto.

Impact Achiuwa was tabbed questionable ahead of Wednesday's game due to ankle soreness, but he's been upgraded to available. The forward has logged 22 and 18 minutes over the last two games, respectively, but he could see a bump in minutes Wednesday night due to the absence of Domantas Sabonis (knee).

JANUARY 22 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable with ankle soreness Achiuwa is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with right ankle soreness.

Impact The Kings could take a cautious approach with Achiuwa, considering Wednesday is their second game in as many days. With Domantas Sabonis resting against Toronto, Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell could be in line to share the minutes at center.

Precious Achiuwa has been on his grind (and earning his spot in the rebuild) The Sacramento Kings made the right call signing Precious Achiuwa who has made a huge different in recent games.

JANUARY 16 • AROYALPAIN.COM

Monster double-double in win Achiuwa finished with 20 points (7-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-7 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and two steals over 39 minutes during Wednesday's 112-101 win over New York.

Impact Achiuwa recorded his third double-double of the campaign and notched a season-high 20 points, helping the Kings pick up their third straight win. Achiuwa has been hit-or-miss as a fantasy asset, posting averages of 8.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks in 23.8 minutes over his last eight appearances.

DeMar DeRozan reaches 26,000 career points in Kings' victory over Rockets

DeMar DeRozan had 22 points and became the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 26,000 points, helping the Sacramento Kings beat the Houston Rockets 111-98 on Sunday night

Back in starting lineup Sunday Achiuwa is in the Kings' starting lineup against the Rockets on Sunday, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Achiuwa came off the bench against the Warriors on Friday and played just five minutes, but he'll return to the starting lineup Sunday in place of Keon Ellis. Achiuwa has averaged 5.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals over 17.8 minutes per game over his last 12 outings.

JANUARY 12 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to bench Achiuwa will come off the bench for Friday's game against the Warriors, Brenden Nunes of KHTK Sactown Sports 1140 reports.

Impact Achiuwa will be replaced by Keon Ellis in the first unit for Friday's game, as the Kings go with a small-ball approach to combat the Warriors. As a member of the second unit this season, Achiuwa has posted averages of 7.8 points and 5.3 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Re-enters starting lineup in loss Achiuwa provided nine points (4-7 FG, 1-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes during Tuesday's 100-98 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Achiuwa will probably remain with the first unit, as Keegan Murray's recent ankle injury will put him out of action for the remainder of the month. It now appears that Domantas Sabonis (knee) will be back before Murray, and it will be interesting to see what the Kings do with the combo of Achiuwa and Maxime Raynaud when he returns.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Offers nothing in loss Achiuwa ended with three points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 19 minutes during Friday's 129-102 loss to the Suns.

Impact Achiuwa failed to score more than five points for the fourth time in the past five games. Although he has been a consistent part of the rotation, Achiuwa typically offers very little outside of sporadic rebounding numbers. With that said, Maxime Raynaud suffered a knee injury, something that could cause him to miss time moving forward. If that is the case, Sacramento could be forced to give even more minutes to Achiuwa.

JANUARY 3 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 14 points in loss Achiuwa recorded 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals across 22 minutes during Thursday's 120-106 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Achiuwa was far more aggressive on the offensive end after being shut out Tuesday against the Clippers, scoring in double figures for just the fifth time since Dec. 1. He looked sharp from deep, drilling multiple treys in a game for the second time in 27 games this season. Achiuwa is averaging 6.0 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 steals in his last eight games, all as a starter.
