Allen (rest) will not play Thursday against the Wizards, Jon Roser of ESPN 92.9 FM in Memphis reports. The Grizzlies will give a number of regulars the night off Thursday, as Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol will also be rested, while Mike Conley sits out with an ankle injury. That means Courtney Lee and Jeff Green are the only regular starters expected to play, so Nick Calathes, Beno Udrih, Jon Leuer and Kosta Koufos will each see bumps in value.

Allen scored 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-2 FT) with five rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 27 minutes off the bench Wednesday. He's been ornery since his one-game suspension for a scrap with Nick Calathes in practice, averaging 12.2 points, 5.6 boards and 2.6 steals over his last five games. Allen's fantasy value is capped by his role on the second unit, but he remains an excellent source of steals while still chipping in decent production otherwise.

Allen had 12 points (6-9 FG), eight rebounds and two steals in 27 minutes on Wednesday. Allen sat out Tuesday's game with the Utah Jazz because of a physical altercation he had with backup guard Nick Calathes during practice. He came back with his one of his best games since the start of February. He can give you steals but is very inconsistent in other areas of his game.

Allen (suspension) will play Wednesday, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal reports. Allen got into a physical confrontation with Nick Calathes during practice recently, and coach Dave Joerger suspended him for Tuesday's matchup with Utah. Allen was on the team flight to Houston, however, and all signs point to him returning to action Wednesday night.

Allen will be suspended for Tuesday's contest versus the Jazz, the Grizzlies' official site reports. Allen's ban is the result of internal matters. While his absence could afford Jordan Adams some time on the wing, expect Allen to return for Wednesday's game at Houston.

Allen (ankle) added two points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, one steal and one block in 24 minutes during the Grizzlies' 100-90 win versus the Jazz on Wednesday. Allen (ankle) was able to give it a go on Wednesday, but produced a less than inspiring stat line. He doesn't provide the consistent scoring touch that Courtney Lee or Jeff Green do, and he's taken a back seat since Green was acquired a few weeks ago. So long as Allen is healthy, his defense will continue to earn him quality minutes off the bench, but the addition of Green hasn't exactly helped his value in fantasy. The Grizzlies are back in action on Friday versus the Wolves.

Allen (ankle) is available to take the court Wednesday at Utah, the Salt Lake Tribune reports. Allen's left ankle has been a bother of late, but he's still managed to play in each of the Grizzlies' last three contests. During that span, he averaged 8.7 points (on 38 percent shooting), six rebounds, two steals, and 1.3 assists in 24 minutes.

Allen (ankle) is considered questionable to play Wednesday against the Jazz, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Allen missed two games at the end of January with an ankle injury, and he emerged from Monday's win over Phoenix with soreness in the ankle, as well as some discomfort in his right hamstring. Neither issue is thought to be serious, but Allen is in jeopardy of missing Wednesday's contest. If he's ultimately held out, Nick Calathes could see a few extra minutes off the bench.

Allen (ankle) posted 10 points (5-12 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes during the Grizzlies' 102-101 win versus the Suns on Monday. Allen was listed as probable to play heading into Monday's game, but showed no signs of being slowed by the ankle ailment. He seems locked into a new role coming off the bench with Courtney Lee and Jeff Green starting the last several games, but his defensive contributions will continue to earn him solid time so long as he's healthy.

Allen (ankle) is considered probable to play Monday against the Suns, Ronald Tillery of the Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. Allen missed a pair of games last week with a sprained ankle, but has seen 20-plus minutes in each of the Grizzlies' last two games. He's still dealing with a little bit of discomfort, however, so the team will give him one final check prior to game-time. At this point, it appears Allen will play, but his status is something to keep an eye on in advance of the 9:00 PM ET tip.
