Grabs 10 boards Wednesday
Achiuwa chipped in five points (2-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 117-114 win over San Antonio.
Analysis
Achiuwa saw a handful of extra minutes in the win, with Karl-Anthony Towns picking up his fifth foul early in the final quarter. The additional playing time allowed Achiuwa to grab double-digit rebounds for just the third time this season. Although he is typically the first, and only, big off the bench, Achiuwa's role is relatively underwhelming given the Knicks run with a very shallow rotation.

Back to bench Saturday
Achiuwa is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.
Analysis
The Knicks will be at full strength Saturday following the return of Josh Hart, meaning Achiuwa will return to his regular bench role as a depth option in the frontcourt. Achiuwa is averaging 4.2 points and 6.0 rebounds per game when playing off the bench this season (five appearances).

Shines in starting role
Achiuwa closed with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Thursday's 133-107 victory over Minnesota.
Analysis
Achiuwa got the start in place of Josh Hart (personal) on Thursday and thrived, posting a double-double and making his presence felt on both ends of the court. While he can be a solid streaming option going forward, Achiuwa's upside will be heavily tied to Hart's availability. He won't carry a lot of upside if he's limited to a bench role behind Karl-Anthony Towns.

Drawing first start of 2024-25
Achiuwa will start Thursday's game against the Timberwolves, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.
Analysis
Achiuwa will enter the starting five in place of Josh Hart (personal). Achiuwa is averaging 4.2 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.0 blocks through his first five appearances of the season, all off the bench.
