While his All-Star teammates Karl-Anthony Towns and Jalen Brunson combined for 80 points Wednesday night, fill-in starter Precious Achiuwa also enjoyed his highest-scoring game as a Knick in their overtime victory over the Hawks.

Achiuwa will slide back into a reduced role once injured Mitchell Robinson and OG Anunoby return at some point after the All-Star break, but his 26-point performance on 12-for-16 shooting in a season-high 42 minutes once again showed his versatility as Tom Thibodeau’s team improved to 36-18 ahead of a seven-day respite.

“I’m just playing my game and trusting my game. I’m in a good rhythm right now,” said Achiuwa, who has started the past five games at power forward with Anunoby sidelined with a sprained right foot.

“It’s just being ready for whatever is asked of me and being able to perform at whatever levels are needed for us to win games. However much I can be out there, I just want to win basketball games.
