Precious Achiuwa

Hart is back with the team after missing Thursday's win over the Timberwolves to attend to a personal matter. His return means fewer minutes for Precious Achiuwa, who recorded a double-double on Thursday, starting alongside Karl-Anthony Towns.

Achiuwa started Thursday's game for Josh Hart, who is away from the team for personal reasons. And he had a productive night at the office, recording his first double-double of the season. While his season-long fantasy value remains low due to his late start and place within a complete Knicks rotation, Achiuwa is worth streaming until Hart returns, especially for managers needing rebound production.

The Knicks are without Josh Hart, who is not with the team for personal reasons. Tom Thibodeau has decided to go with a bigger lineup, starting Achiuwa due to a need to match up with Julius Randle. Achiuwa will have deep-league streaming value in this spot, as will reserve guard Miles McBride.

Hart will miss is first game of the season on Thursday. The Knicks swingman has been a key do-it-all player for New York and could be replaced by Miles McBride or Precious Achiuwa as a starter if Mikal Bridges or OG Anunoby assume his small forward spot in the lineup.

Despite the recent knee troubles, Towns played 36 minutes in Monday's win over the Raptors. Fantasy managers should expect him to take on a similar workload against the Hawks, with Precious Achiuwa as the backup. If Towns cannot play, Achiuwa is the player worth streaming.
