Superb showing versus Jazz Allen accumulated 19 points (9-12 FG, 1-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks in 30 minutes during Monday's 112-107 scrimmage loss to the Jazz.

Impact Allen turned in an extremely impressive two-way performance while notching yet another double-double. Allen, Caris LeVert and Joe Harris will be called upon to lead the charge for a Nets team that's perhaps more decimated than any other in terms of injuries and illnesses. As such, Allen is a good bet to provide ample statistical production for the remainder of the restart.

Another double-double Allen registered 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 24 minutes during Saturday's 124-119 scrimmage win over the Spurs.

Impact Allen now has back-to-back double-doubles in two Orlando scrimmages. The 22-year-old Texas product has been playing well enough to show he can be an asset on both ends of the court when play resumes next week. He is expected to play as the starting center following DeAndre Jordan's decision to opt-out of the tournament.

Nets double-double Allen notched 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 FT), 10 rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 99-68 loss against the Pelicans.

Impact Allen was extremely effective, missing just one of his shots and one of his free throws on route to a double-double. The absence of DeAndre Jordan, who opted out after testing positive for COVID-19, has locked Allen into a starting role once the regular season resumes.

Set to reclaim starting role Allen is expected to serve as the Nets' starting center when the team resumes its season July 31 versus the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact The Nets will have only two regular members of their starting five (Caris LeVert and Joe Harris) available for the resumption of the season in Orlando, as all of Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Spencer Dinwiddie (illness), Kevin Durant (Achilles), DeAndre Jordan (illness), Taurean Prince (illness), Wilson Chandler (personal) and Nicolas Claxton (shoulder) won't be joining the team at the Walt Disney World complex. The absences of Jordan and Claxton leave Allen as the only true center on the roster, with the newly signed Donta Hall presumably slotting in as the top backup to Allen. Shortly before the NBA shutdown in mid-March, Allen was moved out of the starting five in favor of Jordan, who had essentially been splitting minutes with the former all season. With Jordan now out of the mix, Allen should have a real chance at approaching 30 minutes in most games if he can stay out of foul trouble, which should dramatically improve the 22-year-old's fantasy outlook moving forward. Even though Allen hasn't seen the third-year bump some might have predicted, he's still been productive on a per-36-minute basis in 2019-20, averaging 14.9 points, 13.2 boards, 1.9 blocks, 1.9 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 64.6 percent from the floor.

Signs with Brooklyn Hall signed a rest-of-season contract with the Nets on Thursday, Mark Stein of The New York Times reports.

Impact Hall appeared in four games for the Pistons earlier in the season, totaling six points, 15 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block in 48 minutes. He spent most of the campaign in the G League, where he averaged 15.4 points on 9.1 shots, 10.6 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, 1.0 steals and 1.0 assists. With the Nets, Hall figures to see some run as the backup to Jarrett Allen at center.
