Starting preseason finale Achiuwa will start Friday's preseason finale against the Celtics, Vivek Jacob of the Raptors' official site reports.

Impact With Pascal Siakam (rest) getting the night off, Achiuwa will get the nod at forward. In four preseason games, he's averaged 9.8 points and 5.8 rebounds in 18.5 minutes, though his efficiency is a woeful 36.8 percent from the field and 66.7 percent from the charity stripe.

Ties for team lead with 13 points Achiuwa tallied 13 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT) and seven rebounds over 19 minutes in a 125-119 preseason win over the Celtics on Wednesday.

Impact Achiuwa didn't shoot well from the field, but he made all four of his free-throw tries to help him tie for the team lead with 13 points. He also finished second with seven boards but didn't notch any defensive stats. Achiuwa should fill an important bench role for Toronto this season but isn't a fantasy target unless injuries propel him into the starting unit.
