Allen recorded 17 points (6-9 FG, 5-7 FT), eight rebounds, four steals and one assist across 35 minutes in a 113-103 loss to the Celtics on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Allen picked up some additional playing time with the Grizzlies holding out Mike Conley (toe) and Chandler Parsons (rest) for the contest and was able to reach double figures for the fourth time in five games. While he's more likely to sit in the 25-to-30-minute range Thursday against the Thunder if both Conley and Parsons are back in the fold, Allen's outstanding production of late makes him worth keeping active in most leagues. He's averaging 16.6 points, 5.0 assists, 3.0 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers and 1.2 steals in 29.0 minutes per game over the last five contests.

Allen recorded 16 points (6-13 FG, 4-6 FT), nine rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 34 minutes in Friday's 96-92 loss to the Kings.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies returned Mike Conley (back) from a nine-game absence, but Allen didn't see his playing time or scoring suffer as a result. Allen is now averaging 14.6 points, 7.0 rebounds, 2.1 steals and 1.0 assist in 32.6 minutes per game over the past seven contests while shooting 52.4 percent from the field, which has made him a viable lineup option in many formats. However, with James Ennis (calf) and Chandler Parsons (knee) seemingly on the cusp of returns to restore some depth on the wing, Allen's production may not be sustainable for much longer.

Allen scored 16 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-5 FT) to go along with eight rebounds, three steals, one assist, and one block in 33 minutes during the Grizzlies' 93-85 win over the Cavaliers on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

It wasn't an efficient offensive performance, but Allen continues to impress overall. Not only is he averaging a career-best 5.1 rebounds, he is also posting more points per game than he has since 2006-07 while playing more minutes than he has since back in 2012-13. Even at 34 years of age, Allen is still one of the league's top perimeter defenders, and Marc Gasol's migration to the three-point line on offense has helped open up space, allowing Allen to wreak havoc on the interior (where he is much more comfortable). Given that Mike Conley (back) and Chandler Parsons (knee) figure to remain sidelined for at least the next several weeks, Allen will likely continue to be relied on fairly heavily going forward.

Allen poured in 19 points (7-12 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT) to go with four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block across 38 minutes in Saturday's 110-89 win over the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Allen's strong defense didn't translate to a big steal or rebound total, but his intensity on that end of the floor played no small part in the Warriors' backcourt tandem of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson shooting a combined 8-of-28 from the field on the night. It was more surprising that Allen was able to finish as the team's co-leader in scoring with Marc Gasol, but perhaps those tracking his game logs weren't as stunned. Allen has scored at least 15 points in three of his last four games, and with the Grizzlies still down several key rotation regulars, he should continue to take on more offensive responsibilities until further notice.

Allen registered 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two steals and one assist across 29 minutes in Thursday's 88-86 win over the Trail Blazers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen continues to step up with the Grizzlies still down several key regulars due to injury, as this was his second double-double in three games. With Chandler Parsons (knee) and James Ennis (calf) still set to miss multiple games and Mike Conley (back) likely out until mid-to-late January, Allen should enjoy a stable 25-to-30-minute workload so long as his body can hold up. That's not a given in light of the extensive injury woes Allen has endured both this season and in years past, but with his health on solid ground for the time being, he might be worth a look in deeper leagues. He's averaging 11.5 points (on 52.7% shooting), 7.4 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.3 assists in 29.1 minutes per game over his last eight contests.

Allen recorded 19 points (9-14 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 14 rebounds, three steals and one block across 42 minutes in Monday's 110-108 double-overtime win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Allen took advantage of the extra two periods of play as well as the Grizzlies' extensive injuries on the wing to record season bests in minutes, points and rebounds while logging two or more steals for the third game in a row. The veteran's production is expected to remain more stable in the latter two defensive categories over the long haul, but with all of Chandler Parsons (knee), James Ennis (calf) and Vince Carter (hip) still sidelined, Allen will see a larger role than normal on the offensive end out of necessity. With those three players out for each of the past four games, Allen has averaged 12.0 points (on 52.5% shooting), 8.3 rebounds, 2.3 steals and 1.3 assists, production that may warrant a short-term pickup in deeper leagues.

Allen generated nine points (4-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and three steals across 27 minutes in Thursday's 95-94 win over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

The injury-ravaged Grizzlies have been forced to play with only nine players in both of the last two games, but it hasn't translated to much of a spike in playing time or production for Allen. He's averaging a respectable 10.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.0 steals and 1.0 assist in 28.0 minutes per game over those contests, which still might be useful enough in deep leagues. However, it seems as though those statistics may represent the upper bound of the production he's capable of delivering.

Allen picked up 11 points (4-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Saturday's 110-107 win over the Heat.

EDGE Analysis

The 34 minutes were a season high for Allen, who has faced some restrictions since returning from a groin injury six games ago. It appears the Grizzlies are comfortable leaning heavily on Allen now though, as the ample playing time he received Saturday came on the second half of a back-to-back set. With the Grizzlies down two of their better wings in Chandler Parsons (knee) and James Ennis (calf) for at least one more week, Allen shouldn't have much difficulty clearing 30 minutes more regularly over the next handful of games. It could be enough to give him value in very deep leagues thanks to his efforts in the rebounds and steals categories, but high-end production shouldn't be expected.

Allen (groin) is no longer listed on the Grizzlies' injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Allen was considered probable heading into Wednesday, so his availability against the Sixers was fully expected. Look for him to take on his usual role as the team's starting shooting guard and could find himself logging additional minutes with the likes of Chandler Parsons (knee) and James Ennis (calf) sidelined. That said, Allen is usually relied upon more for his defensive capabilities, which often lowers his fantasy potential on most nights.

Allen (groin) is listed as probable for Wednesday's matchup with the Sixers.

EDGE Analysis

Allen has been questionable heading into the Grizzlies' last two games, but ultimately was in the lineup for both as usual, notching 20 and 31 minutes, respectively. He's listed as probable for Wednesday, so look for him to take on his normal role as the team's starting shooting guard, barring any late setbacks.
