Four defensive stats in loss
Achiuwa racked up two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 108-100 loss to Atlanta.
Analysis
Achiuwa tallied four defensive stats, salvaging an otherwise quiet performance. The Knicks continue to run a shallow rotation, typically preventing their bench unit from playing significant minutes. Although Achiuwa appears locked in as the backup center, he would need Karl-Anthony Towns to miss time to have any chance at putting up consistent production on both ends of the floor.

Double-digit boards off bench
Achiuwa logged six points (2-3 FG, 2-5 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 120-111 loss to the Pistons.
Analysis
Although it was Jericho Sims who entered the starting lineup for the injured Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), it was Achiuwa who soaked up the bulk of the minutes at center for the Knicks on Saturday. It was Achiuwa's second regular-season appearance after the 25-year-old big man missed the first 21 games of the year with a hamstring injury, so it was encouraging to see him already handle 28 minutes off the bench this soon after returning to the court. With New York still missing Mitchell Robinson (ankle) as well, Achiuwa is worth a speculative add in deep fantasy leagues while the status of Towns remains up in the air for Monday's game against the Raptors.

Receives 12 minutes in debut
Achiuwa (hamstring) logged two points (1-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 12 minutes Thursday in the Knicks' 125-101 win over the Hornets.
Analysis
Achiuwa made his season debut after missing the Knicks' first 21 games of the season due to a left hamstring strain sustained in the preseason finale. Though Jericho Sims was the Knicks' first big man off the bench Thursday, he played just three minutes to Achiuwa's 12. Expect that disparity to grow wider as Achiuwa becomes further removed from the injury, with Sims potentially falling out of the rotation entirely. The Knicks showed a willingness to use Achiuwa last season as a backup option at both power forward and center, but it will likely take an injury to one of the team's starters before he gets enough minutes to make for an appealing pickup in 12-team leagues or shallower.
