EDGE Analysis
The 12-year veteran contributed only his fifth double-digit scoring performance of the season, and his first since Dec. 11 versus the Hornets. The eight boards were a season high, and Allen's nine attempts from the field qualified as his most in a game since that same December contest against Charlotte. Allen has encouragingly taken 17 shots over the last two games, while receiving 36 minutes of playing time in each. While he can't be counted on for consistent scoring, increased involvement on offense such as what he's recently demonstrated would certainly serve to give a modest boost to his fantasy value.
