Allen put together a monster double-double effort in his return to Cleveland’s lineup after missing Sunday’s loss to the Pistons due to illness. The 27-year-old big man came up just shy of his sixth 20-point performance of the season as he played a season-high 33 minutes against Indiana’s lackluster frontcourt. He’s delivered eighth-round fantasy value this season, averaging 13.9 points, 7.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.0 steals and 0.8 blocks through 26 games.

Upgraded from questionable to probable earlier Tuesday, Allen is officially available for Cleveland’s matchup with the Pacers. His return means that Sam Merrill will be bumped to the bench, with his already-low fantasy ceiling taking a hit.

Allen sat out Sunday and was replaced by Sam Merrill in the starting five. Merrill will likely retreat to the bench with Allen expected to play, and Wade could see a bump in playing time with Jaylon Tyson (illness) listed as questionable.

Allen missed Sunday’s loss to the Pistons with an illness. Sam Merrill started in his place and had 15 points. Allen is questionable for Tuesday’s game with an illness, but has plenty of time to recover before tip-off against the Pacers.

Allen was initially questionable for Sunday’s game, and his absence opens up a spot in the Cavaliers’ starting lineup. With Dean Wade also out, the Cavaliers may turn to De’Andre Hunter or Nae’Qwan Tomlin to fill the resulting void. Also, Evan Mobley shifts from power forward to center.

Allen has not missed a game since December 14, as he was returning from multiple finger injuries. With Sam Merrill and Dean Wade both questionable for Sunday’s game, the Cavaliers may once again look to Jaylon Tyson to step in as a starter. The second-year wing’s production has been good enough to merit being rostered in some 12-team formats.

Allen hadn’t even scored 20 points in his last 12 games, but dropped 27 points in the victory over the Spurs on Monday. It’s the most points Allen has had in a game since scoring 30 on November 12 against the Heat. He rose to the challenge against the Spurs and center Victor Wembanyama, adding 10 rebounds as well. The Cavaliers will be back in action Wednesday against the Suns for the second game of a four-game week.

For the first time since Nov. 12, Allen finished with a double-double. It has been a rough season for him, and a finger injury that forced him to miss nine games didn’t help. Allen is typically the epitome of consistency, but that hasn’t been the case so far this season. He’ll look to build off this while Evan Mobley (calf) is sidelined, which will hopefully help his get back on track and get back to being a reliable fantasy option.

After playing 22 minutes in his first game back from a finger injury on Sunday, Allen logged 28 minutes against the Bulls and was more productive overall. With Evan Mobley (calf) out for a few weeks, there should be more room for Allen to operate in the post. However, he attempted only nine shots against the Bulls, and the volume could prove problematic. With Donovan Mitchell and Darius Garland commanding the ball, Allen’s ceiling isn’t as high since he rarely looks to do anything scoring-wise from outside of 15 feet.

Allen made his return to Cleveland’s lineup following a six-game absence dating back to November 28 due to a finger injury. The 27-year-old big man was limited to just 22 minutes and hoisted just eight field goals. It’s been a bit of a lost season for him so far but the positive news is that he’s healthy and back in the mix as the Cavaliers attempts to get back on track without Evan Mobley (calf) for a couple weeks.

Allen is on track to make his first appearance since November 28, and it would come at an excellent time for the Cavaliers. With Evan Mobley (calf) out for at least two to four weeks, Allen would possess a higher fantasy ceiling as the lone post player in the starting lineup. If he remains out on Sunday, expect to see plenty of Dean Wade and Thomas Bryant.

While Allen fully participated in Tuesday’s practice, he still has not reached the point where he can play in games. Evan Mobley will continue to start at the center position, which raises his fantasy ceiling. Also, Jaylon Tyson is worth a look in deeper leagues since he has moved into the starting lineup.

Allen has missed five straight and eight of Cleveland’s last nine games, but his participation in practice suggests he’s got a chance to take the court for Cleveland’s next game. The Cavs don’t play again until Friday, which gives Allen plenty of time to recover. If Allen is cleared to play, he could reclaim his starting spot from Jaylon Tyson. Sam Merrill (hand) hasn’t played since November 17, and he did not participate in practice.

Allen returned on Friday after a three-game absence, but he will be back on the sidelines against Boston. Jaylon Tyson had been starting in place of Allen and would likely return to the opening lineup in a smaller starting unit.

After a three-game absence, Allen has been cleared to return to the Cavaliers’ lineup. His presence means Jaylon Tyson will head back to the bench, where the second-year wing’s fantasy ceiling is lowered. However, Tyson is worth holding onto in deeper leagues until Max Strus is healthy enough to make his season debut.

Allen has missed Cleveland’s last three games with a strained right middle finger. His time away from game action may conclude on Friday, as the center is considered probable. Jaylon Tyson has been the replacement in the starting lineup, with Evan Mobley serving as the lone post player. Tyson has played well enough to merit being rostered in deep leagues, even if he comes off the bench.

Allen is set to miss his third consecutive game with a right middle finger injury. Jaylon Tyson has moved into the starting lineup in Allen’s absence, playing 27 and 23 minutes in the last two games. Dean Wade should also see additional minutes off the bench.

Sunday’s game will be the second that Allen has missed with a strained right middle finger. Jaylon Tyson replaced him in the starting lineup for Friday’s win over the Pacers, logging 27 minutes. The second-year wing should take on a similar workload on Sunday, with Dean Wade’s playing time also receiving a boost.

There’s been no word as to what changed, but Allen is now out less than an hour after it was reported that he would play. His absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, which Darius Garland could fill since he’s available. If that were to happen, Nae’Qwan Tomlin would remain with the starters, shifting Evan Mobley to the center position.

Having fractured his left ring finger earlier this season, Allen is now dealing with a sprained right middle finger. If he can’t play on Friday, there should be more room for Evan Mobley to operate offensively. As for the starting lineup spot, Dean Wade and Nae’Qwan Tomlin are possible replacements, which would shift Mobley to the five.

With three of Cleveland’s regular starters out, Allen logged his most impressive performance of the season against the Heat. He reached the 30-point mark for the first time and tallied double-digit made field goals for the second time. Allen had entered Wednesday’s contest shooting a career-worst 58.6 percent from the field, but his efficient 60.0 percent shooting on high volume should add a nice boost to his season-long numbers. He produced his second double-double of the season in the process.

Cleveland’s “twin towers” dominated the glass on Friday, with Allen and Evan Mobley (18/10/3/1/1) combining to grab 24 rebounds. Twelve of those boards were on the offensive end of the floor, and Cleveland grabbed 25 offensive rebounds as a team. Since returning to the lineup after missing two games with a fractured finger, Allen has totaled 40 points, 24 rebounds, four assists, five steals and four blocked shots. Mobley will be the focal point in the frontcourt for Cleveland, but that doesn’t eliminate Allen’s fantasy value.

Allen, who returned after missing two games with a non-displaced fracture of his left ring finger, played while wearing a splint on his injured finger. The 27-year-old center managed to play 30 minutes and had a great game in the win over the 76ers. Allen had 24 points, grabbed 10 rebounds and was very active defensively with three blocks and three steals. Allen’s fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief as it appears the injury isn’t going to hamper his play very much at all.

Allen is back after missing the last two games with a non-displaced fracture of his left ring finger. He will play with a splint on the injured finger, but there will be no restrictions on playing time. Larry Nance Jr. will head back to the bench, while Dean Wade’s fantasy value will also take a hit.

Allen has missed the last two games with a fractured left ring finger. Dean Wade and Larry Nance have made spot starts in Allen’s stead, with the former being the more productive fantasy option. Neither will be worth holding onto if Allen is allowed to play.

Sunday’s game will be the second Allen misses after suffering a non-displaced fracture of his left ring finger during Wednesday’s loss to the Celtics.

Allen missed Friday’s game after he suffered a non-displaced fracture of his left right finger earlier in the week. It’s unclear how much more time the 27-year-old center could miss, but he’s listed as questionable putting his status in doubt on Sunday. Dean Wade started Friday against the Raptors in Allen’s stead, but wasn’t much of a factor with five points in 30 minutes.
