Ray Allen (knee) will not play against the Kings on Friday. The Heat are doing their best Spurs impression tonight resting their top two shooting guards on the first half of a road back-to-back set. Allen should be considered probable for Saturday.

Ray Allen (knee) is a game-time decision for Friday's game against the Kings. Coach Erik Spoelstra might be taking a page out of Gregg Popovich's book tonight by resting his players. Allen doesn't appear to be dealing with anything outside of just soreness and he will likely be ready for Saturday. If he and Dwyane Wade sit, Roger Mason Jr. might be the favorite to start.

Ray Allen scored 19 points in a start against the Hawks on Monday with six boards, one assist and one 3-pointer during a 121-119 victory. His 19 points matched a season high and 34 minutes tonight set a season high. Dwyane Wade sat out due to soreness and is expected to be back for Christmas. Allen has been productive in his two previous starts as well, averaging 13.5 points, 2.o assists, 1.0 steals and 1.5 triples on 57.1 percent shooting. He should have some shred of value in standard leagues on the whole this season.

Ray Allen (knee) was held out of Sunday's practice as a precaution. This may become routine for Allen, who is battling tendinitis in his knee, and we won't mention him on the injury report unless there's some indication that his status is in jeopardy. The veteran has only missed three games this season, all in mid-November.

Ray Allen admitted that he's been battling tendinitis in his right knee for over a week, though he has yet to miss any games. "It kind of persisted, and as [Friday's] game went on, maybe those first two minutes, it got a little worse and then I just played with it," Allen said. He may limit himself during Miami's practices and off-days but it doesn't sound as though the ailment will cost him any games.

Filling in at SG for Dwyane Wade (knees) on Sunday, Ray Allen scored 18 points on 6-of-10 shooting with a couple of 3-pointers to help Miami earn a 110-95 victory in Detroit. Allen has only missed three games this season and continues to seamlessly fill the gaps in Miami's rotation, averaging 10.0 points with 1.5 three-pointers, 2.6 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 0.9 steals per game. That's good enough for borderline value in 12-team roto leagues.

Ray Allen made his first start for the Heat on Thursday with nine points, one rebound, one assist, one steal and one 3-pointer. The Heat were starting James Jones with Dwyane Wade out before tonight, but they decided just not to play him at all since he's a liability in several facets of the game. Allen's numbers are down for the most part and he's a low-upside, 3-point specialist in fantasy leagues.

Ray Allen will make his first start with the Miami Heat on Thursday. He gets the nod over James Jones and figures to get a lot of 3-pointers in the corner on kick-out passes by LeBron James. Allen had 12 points on Tuesday night and may be able to eclipse that total at Chicago tonight.

Ray Allen returned from an absence with the flu and hit 5-of-10 shots and three 3-pointers for 17 points, three rebounds and a steal on Tuesday. Allen is back, but saw some extra run with Dwyane Wade sidelined for rest. He should be a solid source of 3-pointers all year, but that's about all you can count on.

Ray Allen (flu) went through Tuesday's shootaround and is expected to play agains the Hawks. After averaging over three 3-pointers a game in his first two contests of the season, Allen has only averaged 0.8 3-pointers per game in the month of November. Hopefully a little time off will help Shuttlesworth's shooting prowess as that's about the only value he brings to the fantasy table at this point.
