PRECIOUS ACHIUWA NEWS

Returns to bench Achiuwa isn't starting Friday's game against the Wizards, Doug Smith of the Toronto Star reports.

Impact Achiuwa started each of the last three games and averaged 10.7 points and 10.0 rebounds in 36.3 minutes per contest. However, Gary Trent will return to the starting lineup Friday.

Solid performance in loss Achiuwa provided 12 points (5-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT) and five rebounds in 33 minutes during Wednesday's 102-98 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Achiuwa has started the last three contests and is averaging 10.7 points, 10.0 rebounds and 1.3 blocks in 36.3 minutes during those games. As long as he remains a starter, the second-year big man will likely be worthy of fantasy consideration in deeper leagues.

Bam back, Butler gets triple-double, Heat top Raptors 104-99

Tyler Herro scored 23 points, Jimmy Butler got a triple-double in the game’s final moment and the Miami Heat held off the Toronto Raptors 104-99

Records double-double in win Achiuwa chipped in 14 points (7-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt), 10 rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 39 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 win over the Bucks.

Impact With Khem Birch (nose) sidelined, Achiuwa logged his 18th start and racked up his fifth double-double of the season. The Raptors are stacked with frontcourt talent, although he had several opportunities during Pascal Siakam's absence at the beginning of the season, he's often been the odd man out as the season wears on. Still, he's well ahead of Chris Boucher on the depth chart, which thins his competition for time to a degree.

Starting vs. Bucks Achiuwa will start Saturday's game against the Bucks, Blake Murphy of The Athletic reports.

Impact Achiuwa gets the nod with Scottie Barnes (knee), Gary Trent (ankle) and Khem Birch (nose) sidelined. In his 17 starts, he's averaged 7.9 points, 8.4 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 26.6 minutes.

Grabs eight boards Achiuwa closed with four points (2-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), eight rebounds and one block over 25 minutes during Friday's 103-87 loss to the Pistons.

Impact Over his last three games, Achiuwa has averaged 5.3 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks in 24.7 minutes per game. Fellow backup center Khem Birch broke his nose during Friday's loss, so in his absence, Achiuwa may be in line for an increased role as the primary backup to Pascal Siakam.
