Allen had six points (2-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 114-99 victory over Indiana.
EDGE Analysis
Allen struggled on a night where his co-starters combined to shoot nearly 60 percent from the field. Allen has cooled off considerably in December, shooting just 39.2 percent from the field, including 34.8 percent from deep. He's a candidate to rebound given a secure role on a currently shorthanded Bucks team.

Allen (illness) is trending toward playing in Monday's game against the Cavs, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is battling a non-COVID illness, which kept him out of Saturday's game against Miami, but he's made some progress in recent days and is expected to be back in the lineup as Milwaukee begins a four-game week. Prior to the illness, Allen averaged 11.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.3 made threes over his last 10 contests.

Allen (illness) is questionable for Monday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
Allen was a late scratch for Saturday's game against the Heat due to an illness, but he has a chance to return to the court Monday. If he's unavailable once again, Rodney Hood, Pat Connaughton and Wesley Matthews should see increased playing time.

Allen is out Saturday against the Heat due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Allen is a late scratch Saturday, and with George Hill (knee) also out, the Bucks will be very shorthanded in the backcourt. In their absences, more minutes could be available for Rodney Hood, Pat Connaughton and Wesley Matthews.

Allen scored 18 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt) to go with three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Milwaukee's 120-100 loss to Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
While Khris Middleton (COVID) remains out for Milwaukee, Allen has taken advantage of his increased opportunities. The first year Buck has recorded at least 18 points in each of his last six showings and is averaging 20.0 points per game during that span. Allen is becoming a consistent fantasy option for Milwaukee, but Middleton's pending return is likely to diminish at least some of the Duke product's fantasy value moving forward.

Allen recorded 21 points (6-16 FG, 5-9 3PT, 4-5 FG) to go along with four rebounds and one steal across 35 minutes in Friday's 122-113 overtime loss in Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's hot start to the season continued, as the Bucks were shorthanded with three regular starters sidelined. While he was inefficient from the field overall, he stayed hot from beyond the arc by increasing his season average to 43.0 percent. He is doing what he was brought in for when the Bucks traded Sam Merrill and a couple second-round picks for him in the offseason. The Duke product is third in the league in three pointers made (49) behind just Stephen Curry (64) and Buddy Hield (54). It remains to be seen if he will stay in the starting lineup when Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) returns, but it seems likely the team will want him to play as many minutes alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo as possible, given his standing as the team's sharpshooter.

Allen poured in 25 points (8-13 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three assists and two rebounds over 33 minutes in a 118-109 win over the 76ers on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Allen's 25 points marked a season best for the 26-year-old. Trailing only Giannis Antetokounmpo (31 points) in scoring, Allen was the only starter to shoot over 50 percent from the field. He failed to provide auxiliary stats, but has consistently provided solid value in points/threes through 11 games.

Allen (illness) is available Sunday against the Wizards, according to Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
EDGE Analysis
Considering Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) remains unavailable, Allen will have another chance to log significant playing time and show what he could do. The latter averaged 28.6 minutes across his last nine games. Allen recorded averages of 14.0 points and 4.3 rebounds during that span.

Allen is questionable Sunday against the Wizards because of an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has a day to recover before the Bucks' upcoming game. But if he and Donte DiVincenzo (ankle) are out, Rodney Hood or Jordan Nwora will receive their first start this season.

Allen mustered 22 points (8-12 FG, 6-9 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists, a steal and a block across 31 minutes in Friday's loss against the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Allen has scored in double digits in all but one game this season, and the 22-point output was his best scoring mark of the campaign as he handled the responsibility of replacing Khris Middleton (COVID-19) quite well. Allen is having a strong start to the year and is averaging 14.0 points per game while shooting 40.3 percent from three-point range through his first nine games of the campaign.
