Ray Allen hit 4-of-6 shots and 4-of-4 3-pointers for 16 points in Saturday's 99-87 Game 3 win over the Pacers to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Allen was a monster tonight and we're still trying to figure out why power forward David West was trying to guard him tonight. Frank Vogel will need to come up with a new game plan before Monday's Game 4, as Allen scored 10 points and hit three 3-pointers as the Heat went on an 18-5 run to put the game away in the fourth quarter. The winner of Game 3 to take a 2-1 lead goes on to win the series 76 percent of the time, and the Pacers no longer have the homecourt advantage. The Heat snapped the Pacers streak of five straight road wins tonight.

Ray Allen hit a clutch 3-pointer to give the Heat the lead for good with 32 seconds left in Wednesday's series-clinching win over the Nets, finishing with 13 points, three boards, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes. He had an awesome series coming in and led all players with at least 24 minutes per game in the second round in true shooting percentage. Allen is 38 years old and he's still the master of getting free along the 3-point line, which caused countless breakdowns for the Nets on defense. Although, he's in a of a slump from deep in his last three games, making just 2-of-13 from that range. He'll likely be in the gym quite a bit to get back on track for the Eastern Conference Finals.

Ray Allen (illness) is a game-time decision for Friday's matchup with the Wolves. Allen did go through the morning shootaround despite his stomach virus. We suspect he'll give it a go in a bench role.

Ray Allen (illness) was a full participant for Thursday's practice. He revealed he was hospitalized for his stomach flu to treat dehydration in the past week. Additionally, Allen's children were also in the hospital with the stomach flu, then Allen went to the hospital himself. He was active for Wednesday and did not play, which means he should be ready for the weekend.

Updating a previous item, Ray Allen (illness) is not expected to play Wednesday. Allen was expected back from his stomach virus, but the Heat will play it safe. He's watching the game in a suit. With Dwyane Wade (hamstring) also out, Toney Douglas and James Jones are going to play significant minutes.

Ray Allen will play against the Bucks on Wednesday night. He'll get a chance to beat up on the team that he started his career with after missing the last four games. Dwyane Wade (hamstring) is out again and Allen could be looking at a double-digit shot workload, which could translate to points in the teens with a couple treys.

Ray Allen (stomach virus) is probable for Wednesday's game after participating fully in shootaround. The Heat went 3-1 in Allen's absence but they'll eagerly welcome back their leading bench scorer (9.7 points per game). His return will reduce the playing time of James Jones and Norris Cole, though neither of them should be owned in fantasy leagues anyway.

Ray Allen (illness) will not play against the Raptors on Monday. This will be his fourth game out of the lineup due to a stomach ailment. Allen did not need to be hospitalized which is good to hear due to how long he's been sick. His fantasy owners should have moved on at this point even though he could be back as soon as Wednesday.

Ray Allen's illness is expected to sideline him for a fourth consecutive game on Monday. Miami will have to get by without their veteran sharp-shooter vs. the Raptors, who roll into Miami on a three-game winning streak. The Heat continue their home-stand with games on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

Ray Allen (illness) will not play against the Bucks on Saturday. He won't play against the team he played for from 1996-2003 and it will be his third straight game out. Allen's stomach bug sounds really bad and hopefully he'll be ready to play on Monday vs. the Raptors.
