Precious Achiuwa (ankle) ruled out Tuesday for Raptors

Toronto Raptors power forward Precious Achiuwa (ankle) is out Tuesday against the Los Angeles Clippers.

What It Means:

Achiuwa has been out since November 9, but Raptors head coach Nick Nurse said he's "getting closer" to returning. Juancho Hernangomez, Thaddeus Young, and Christian Koloko will likely lose the most playing time once Achiuwa is cleared.

numberFire's models project Hernangomez for 24.0 minutes and 18.1 FanDuel points on Tuesday, and he has a $4,500 salary on the Main slate. Per our NBA Heat Map, the Raptors’ implied total (111.25) is No. 15 out of 20 active teams today.
