Acuff finished Wednesday's 116-103 loss to the Lakers with 22 points (8-24 FG, 3-11 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and two steals across 42 minutes.
Acuff struggled with his efficiency, needing 24 shots to reach 22 points, but he made up for it with a double-double. That extends his streak of games with at least five assists to six. The rookie's heavy usage and team-high 42 minutes make him a fantasy asset even on off shooting nights, though his efficiency could weigh on managers in category leagues.

Acuff notched 25 points (10-21 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists, five rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes in Monday's 115-100 win over Dallas.
Acuff didn't deliver his best performance from downtown, though he was efficient from inside the arc and finished with a game-high mark in scoring. The rookie floor general also finished second on the team in assists, dishing out at least five dimes for a fifth straight game. During that span, he's averaged 27.6 points, 7.4 assists and 4.4 rebounds per contest.

Acuff finished Saturday's 136-105 loss to the Grizzlies with 38 points (12-25 FG, 9-14 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five assists and five rebounds over 37 minutes.
The rookie seventh-overall pick started out slowly with two points in the first quarter, but he responded with 19 points in the second before adding 17 more points in the second half to set a new career high. Acuff has already tallied three games of 30-plus points in his young career and is averaging 26.3 points, 6.3 assists, 3.7 rebounds and 3.2 threes over 36.5 minutes per game, although he's shooting 39.6 percent from the field (including 32.2 percent from three-point range). Even with established veterans like Zach LaVine and Domantas Sabonis on the roster, Acuff has operated as the focal point of the Kings' offense early in the 2026-27 season.
