Allen (hamstring) scored 13 points (6-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) with four rebounds and two steals in the win over the Nets on Wednesday. He played 25 minutes. Allen's minutes have been inconsistent of late, but his mild hamstring injury may have limited his minutes against the Nets. He was able to score well, but his fantasy performance should remain fairly consistent in upcoming games.

Allen (hamstring) is considered probable to play Wednesday against the Nets, Rob Fischer of Sports 56 WHBQ in Memphis reports. Allen has played in nine straight games since missing a stretch with an eye injury, but he apparently tweaked his hamstring in Sunday's win over Phoenix. While he'll likely take the court, his status is something to double-check prior to Wednesday's tip.

Allen is averaging 2.2 steals per game this season after recording seven steals Monday night versus the Knicks. Allen added 14 points (6-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes of action versus the Knicks. His offensive contributions are extremely inconsistent, but he remains one of the top perimeter defenders in the NBA. If you're in desperate need of steals and can deal with Allen's lackluster production in other categories, he might be worth adding.

Allen (eye) returned from a four-game absence Friday against the Rockets. He started and scored 10 points (4-11 FG, 2-2 FT) and added three rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a block in 26 minutes. Allen is known for his defensive talents, and he did not disappoint in that regard. As long as he is healthy, Allen has value in most formats, but only as a steals specialist who can contribute in rebounds and assists, but will hurt offensively.

Allen (eye) will not play on Monday versus the Jazz, Ronald Tillery of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports. This is the fourth straight game Allen has missed with this corneal abrasion. With the Grizzlies off until Friday after Monday, there's a chance Allen will be ready to return for the Grizzlies' next game versus the Rockets, and his defensive abilities would be greatly welcomed back for when they take on James Harden and company.

Allen (eye) is likely out Sunday against the Cavs according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. Allen will now likely miss three straight games with this corneal abrasion. This type of injury is not common, so his timetable to return is still a bit of a mystery.
