Grayson Allen accounted for 27 points (9-of-12 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, one steal, one block and seven three-pointers in Saturday’s loss to the 76ers.

After scoring 14 points on 4-of-18 shooting in Charlotte’s prior two games, Allen needed a night like Saturday. He shot a stellar 7-of-10 from beyond the arc, including 3-of-3 in an 11-point first quarter. The 27 points are a new season-high for Allen, who scored 20 or more in two of Charlotte’s first three games. He’ll have a higher fantasy ceiling until Coby White and Kon Knueppel are cleared to return from their injuries.
