Achiuwa will be in the starting lineup for the Knicks on Thursday against the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa will make his ninth start of the season Thursday. The 25-year-old big man has averaged 11.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 54.2 percent from the field across his eight previous starts.

Achiuwa provided 13 points (5-9 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 124-105 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa provided a nice lift on both ends of the floor in Wednesday's outing, recording a team-high pair of blocks while leading all bench players in scoring and rebounds in a balanced outing. Achiuwa has reached the double-digit scoring mark in 13 contests this season, adding six or more rebounds in seven of those outings.

Achiuwa registered two points (1-11 FG, 0-2 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 victory over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa stepped into a larger role after Karl-Anthony Towns was a late scratch as a result of his ongoing knee concerns. Despite the opportunity, Achiuwa failed to produce anything of note. The return of Mitchell Robinson has impacted Achiuwa's playing time of late. In 14 March appearances, he averaged just 4.4 points and 4.4 rebounds in 13.5 minutes per game.

Achiuwa racked up zero points (0-1 FG), one rebound and one steal over 10 minutes during Saturday's 97-94 loss to Golden State.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa failed to score for the second straight game, continuing his recent run of unproductivity. After playing a sizeable role earlier in the year, during which he played at least 30 minutes in seven straight games, Achiuwa has been relegated to a backup role. In five games over the past two weeks, he is averaging 3.8 points and 4.6 rebounds in 14.1 minutes per contest.

Achiuwa (hamstring) will be in the starting lineup for the Knicks on Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa has missed two of the Knicks' last three games but is slated to return Friday to face the Clippers. The 25-year-old big man will have to help shoulder the load in the paint with Mitchell Robinson (ankle) ruled out for this game in Los Angeles.

Achiuwa (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa is in jeopardy of missing both halves of the club's back-to-back set due to left hamstring tightness. With Mitchell Robinson (ankle) having been ruled out already, the club may have to rely on its starters in the frontcourt to soak up more playing time, though Anton Watson and MarJon Beauchamp could provide some emergency relief.

Achiuwa (hamstring) won't play Thursday against the Lakers, Steve Popper of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa will miss Thursday's action as he continues to work towards putting a left hamstring injury behind him. Mitchell Robinson could pick up additional playing time at center with Achiuwa sidelined.

Achiuwa is questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers due to left hamstring tightness.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa is at risk of being sidelined for the second time in three games as he deals with what seems to be a minor hamstring injury. With OG Anunoby (elbow) and Mitchell Robinson (injury recovery) questionable for the contest, Achiuwa could be pushed into a larger role if available.

Achiuwa chipped in eight points (4-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt), 15 rebounds and one block across 30 minutes during Tuesday's 114-102 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

The Knicks were a bit depleted in terms of frontcourt depth due to the absence of Karl-Anthony Towns (personal), and although Precious Achiuwa did what he could off the bench, his offensive production was limited. He was a dominant force on the glass, though, and grabbed double-digit boards for the fourth time since the beginning of February. He's achieved that mark seven times in 2024-25 already.

Achiuwa supplied seven points (3-6 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and four blocks over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 110-105 win over Philadelphia.

EDGE Analysis

Achiuwa saw most of his minutes in the second half after Ariel Hukporti left at the 9:04 mark of the third quarter due to left knee sprain. Achiuwa took advantage of the extra court time as he played alongside the starters and recorded all four blocks in the second half. Achiuwa could be in the starting lineup against the Grizzlies on Friday if Hukporti and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) are unable to suit up.
