Precious Achiuwa DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Knicks forward/center Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) will sit out Thursday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers. The team has downgraded him from questionable to out. With Karl-Anthony Towns (personal) back in the lineup and Mitchell Robinson (ankle) also available, it's possible Achiuwa would not have played regardless. He only logged four minutes the last time all three were available. New York has another game on Friday against the Los Angeles Clippers, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Achiuwa replace Robinson in the lineup for that one.

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa (hamstring) is currently considered questionable ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Achiuwa is in danger of sitting out for the second time over the last three games. The assumption is that it's a minor hamstring issue, but possibly Achiuwa re-aggravated the issue during Tuesday's game. Mitchell Robinson (ankle) would likely pick up the slack if Achiuwa is unable to go, but he's also questionable for this contest. The Knicks might be forced to play small-ball if both players are unable to play.

New York Knicks forward Precious Achiuwa and guard Miles McBride will start in Thursday's game against Chicago. Josh Hart (knee) and OG Anunoby (foot) are both unavailable, so the team will need to plug some holes in the starting lineup. Granted, the Knicks still have Jalen Brunson, Karl-Anthony Towns, and Mikal Bridges. But Achiuwa and McBride could easily exceed usual expectations, so both are worth streaming in any fantasy format. Cameron Payne should also receive his share of work from off the bench.
