Allen (hamstring) remains questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder, Michael Wallace of ESPN reports. Allen continues to battle a hamstring issue, and coach Dave Joerger did not sound optimistic about his chances to play Friday. That said, a ruling won't come until Friday, so continue to keep an eye on Allen's progress.

Allen (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, and he's considered questionable for Friday's game against the Thunder, Michael Wallace of ESPN reports. Allen has missed the last two games since suffering a hamstring strain against the Warriors on Friday. He rested Wednesday and will receive treatment Thursday before being re-evaluated prior to Friday's matchup.

Allen (hamstring) is out for Monday's game against the Kings, and he's without a return timetable, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Allen sustained a left hamstring injury Friday, and he missed Sunday's game against San Antonio. With the playoffs approaching, the Grizzlies won't rush Allen back, so expect Vince Carter and Courtney Lee to continue to pick up some extra minutes in the short-term. It sounds like Allen could miss a few more games, but until official confirmation is handed down by the team, consider him day-to-day. After Monday, Memphis' next game doesn't come until Friday versus Oklahoma City.

Allen (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Spurs Sideline Reporter Rob Fischer reports. Allen missed the end of the Grizzlies' previous game, but that game was a blowout, so the severity of the injury was unknown. Look for Jeff Green and Courtney Lee to soak up the minutes left by Allen on Sunday.

Allen (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Spurs. Allen suffered a left hamstring injury in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Warriors. He didn't return to the game, but it was also out of hand going into the fourth, with the Warriors holding a commanding lead. If Allen is out, it would guarantee more minutes for Jeff Green and Courtney Lee.

Allen suffered a left hamstring injury in the third quarter of Friday's game against the Warrior and is questionable to return, Grizzlies' sideline reporter Rob Fischer reports. Allen's status for the remainder of Friday's game remains up in the air, but it sounds as though the issue is minor. If he doesn't return, his next chance to rejoin the lineup will come Sunday against the Spurs.

Allen scored 10 points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) with 11 rebounds, one assist and six steals in 35 minutes Saturday. Allen is an elite option for steals, averaging a career-high 2.1 steals this season, but at the moment, that's not all he is bringing. The Grindfather is averaging 11.5 points and 8.0 rebounds in his last four games, and with three games of at least six steals this season, Allen can swing that category in head-to-head matchups in the playoffs.

Allen returned to the starting lineup Friday against the Mavericks. He scored 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-8 FT) and added seven rebounds, one assist, and two steals in 32 minutes. Even off the bench on Tuesday, Allen still played 31 minutes. The shifting into and out of the starting lineup will have minimal impact on his fantasy value as long as his minutes remain this steady.

Allen scored 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-4 FT) to go along with nine rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes Monday against the Nuggets. Allen has increased his scoring of late as he is averaging 12.5 points over his last four games compared to his season average of 8.5. He is always a valuable source for steals, but he could really increase his fantasy value if he could continue with this increased offensive production.

Allen suited up for the Grizzlies on Saturday, after a one-game absence, scoring nine points (4-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with three rebounds, one assist and four steals in 32 minutes. Allen is averaging a ridiculous 2.8 steals in his last six games, while also shooting a crazy 63 percent from the floor. While the shooting will undoubtedly cool off, the steals appear real, as Allen is averaging a career-high this season, nabbing 2.0 steals per game. If you need steals, there is no better option on waiver-wires than the Grindfather.
