Allen was ejected from Friday's game against the Bulls after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Jamal Collier of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was ejected midway through the third quarter Friday after he grabbed Alex Caruso's arm in an attempt to prevent a layup. He posted five points (2-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and a steal prior to his exit. Donte DiVincenzo and Wesley Matthews should see increased playing time for the remainder of Friday's game.

Allen recorded 18 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 103-96 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Allen turned in another solid game after returning from a four-game absence. Increased production should be expected from Allen as long as Jrue Holiday (ankle) is sidelined.

Allen (COVID-19 protocols) isn't on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Allen spent just over a week in the league's health and safety protocols and was forced to miss four games. It's not yet clear whether he'll have a minutes restriction against Golden State. If the 26-year-old doesn't have any conditioning concerns, he could see an uptick in playing time since Jrue Holiday (ankle) is doubtful and George Hill (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out.

Allen was placed in COVID-19 protocols Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Both Allen and Pat Connaughton were placed in protocols Tuesday, so the Bucks will be without two key contributors for at least the next three contests. Expect George Hill, Wesley Matthews and Rodney Hood to all picked up increased minutes, while Jordan Nwora (COVID-19) could also benefit after he exits protocols.

Allen (illness) is active, but he won't start Thursday's contest against the Mavericks, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen hasn't made an appearance in the Bucks' last two games and, despite being active, will likely remain on the bench once again. In his absence, Jordan Nwora will draw another start. If Allen doesn't play, his next chance to return to action will be Christmas Day against the Celtics.

Allen (undisclosed) is available for Thursday's matchup against the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has missed the past two games -- one for rest and one because he was feeling "a little bit off." His return is especially important since the Bucks are still shorthanded due to protocols. Over his past five appearances, Allen has averaged 12.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said Allen was available for Wednesday's win over the Rockets but didn't play since he's feeling "a little bit off," Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was a late scratch Saturday for rest purposes, but it instead appears to have been related to Wednesday's situation. The 26-year-old continues to test negative for COVID-19, so there's no concern that he's dealing with the virus, and he was completely absent from the injury report. Allen sat out the front end of the back-to-back set Wednesday but could be back on the court for Thursday's matchup with the Mavericks if his outlook improves.

Allen will be available Wednesday against the Rockets.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was a late scratch for rest Saturday against the Cavaliers but will be back in action Wednesday. Over the past five games, he's averaged 12.2 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.6 steals in 31.6 minutes.

Allen (rest) didn't appear in Saturday's 119-90 loss to the Cavaliers.

EDGE Analysis

Both Allen and Jrue Holiday sat out the second half of the back-to-back set, but both should be ready to fill high-minute roles when the Bucks return to action Wednesday against the Rockets. With four members of the roster in the COVID-19 health and safety protocols -- including two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo -- players like Allen and Holiday are expected to shoulder more responsibilities on offense in the short term.

Allen closed with 25 points (8-17 FG, 7-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and three steals across 39 minutes during Friday's 116-112 overtime loss to the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Allen connected on a season-high seven triples in the loss and eclipsed the 20-point mark for the first time in over a month. As long as the Bucks are shorthanded, Allen should remain a 12-team asset, albeit one who is productive in only a couple of categories on most nights.
