Out Saturday Allen (knee) is out for Saturday's game against the Knicks

Impact Allen missed Friday's game against the 76ers and will also miss the second leg of the back-to-back set against the reigning champions. This means Evan Mobley will continue to start at center, with Mario Hezonja probably entering the lineup at one of the two forward spots. Allen's next chance to play will come against the Hornets on Monday.

Evan Mobley will spend more time at center with Allen unavailable and Thomas Bryant could see a bump in minutes.

Solid showing despite loss Allen accumulated 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-6 FT), six rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Allen cooled off after posting 25 points and 11 rebounds against Milwaukee on Saturday, managing just six boards despite collecting three on the offensive glass. He continues to offer reliable interior scoring and defensive contributions, though his rebounding production was modest in Monday's contest.

Logs another double-double Allen finished with 25 points (12-16 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 24 minutes in Saturday's 136-111 win over the Bucks.

Impact Allen had his most productive game of the 2026-27 campaign Saturday, ending with a season high in scoring while picking up his second double-double in his last three appearances. The 28-year-old is now averaging 15.3 points, 9.2 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 blocks over 27.8 minutes per contest in five regular-season games. Allen has also displayed improved range, considering he has missed just one of his three attempts from deep this season.

Close to double-double, adds two swats Allen posted 14 points (5-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), eight rebounds, an assist and two blocks across 30 minutes in Thursday's 114-111 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Allen remained efficient offensively while providing his usual rebounding and rim protection. His two blocks boosted his fantasy output, though he finished two rebounds shy of a double-double. Allen has shot at least 50 percent from the field in all but one of his first five appearances of this season, and he continues to form a strong partnership with Evan Mobley in the Cavaliers' frontcourt. Alen's strong field-goal percentage and defensive contributions continue to support his value in category-based formats.

Nearly perfect from field Allen produced 21 points (7-8 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and a block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 125-121 win over the Nets.

Impact Allen improved upon his 14-point season opener with an efficient scoring performance, making seven of eight field-goal attempts en route to finishing as the Cavaliers' second-highest scorer. He also finished second on the team in rebounds and added three stocks, making his presence felt on both ends of the court. Allen's rebounding and blocks should provide a reliable fantasy foundation, although his scoring output will likely fluctuate depending on Cleveland's offensive distribution. He's scored at least 14 points in his first two outings this season, so he's enjoying a strong start to the campaign.

Cavaliers survive a late Nets rally to win home opener 125-121

Donovan Mitchell scored 22 points, Jarrett Allen added 21 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers won their home opener, 125-121 over the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday night

OCTOBER 25 • Associated Press

Disappears in second half Allen finished with 14 points (6-10 FG, 0-0 3Pt, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds and two blocks across 28 minutes in Thursday's 114-106 loss to the 76ers.

Impact Allen scored all 14 of his points before halftime but failed to maintain that offensive involvement as Cleveland squandered a 29-point lead. His seven rebounds were relatively modest, although his two blocks helped preserve some fantasy value. With James Harden and Donovan Mitchell in the backcourt, Allen should continue benefiting from opportunities around the rim, but his fantasy ceiling remains heavily dependent on rebounding, blocks and efficient finishing.

Good to go for season opener Allen (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Despite carrying a questionable tag leading up to Cleveland's regular-season opener in Philadelphia, Allen will indeed suit up. The Cavaliers' starting center could be on a soft minutes restriction given his history with the lingering knee issue. Evan Mobley, Thomas Bryant, Peyton Watson and Jaylon Tyson would likely benefit from any vacated minutes.

Impact Allen is listed as questionable on the latest injury report. He was able to get some shots up Thursday morning, however, and it sounds like he intends to push through the minor injury. The Cavaliers may keep a close eye on his minutes if he's cleared to suit up.

Questionable versus Philadelphia Allen (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the 76ers.

Impact Allen is in danger of missing the Cavaliers' first game of the 2026-27 campaign. If Allen can't suit up, Evan Mobley would presumably slide to the five, with Jaylon Tyson the favorite to move into the starting lineup.
