Ruled out Monday
Allen is out for Monday's game against the 76ers with right knee tendonitis.
Analyse
Allen is missing a second consecutive contest, and it's unclear if the star big man has resumed practicing. Evan Mobley will likely start at center again, while Sam Merrill and Jaylon Tyson should both play an expanded role in Allen's absence, making both players worthy of streaming consideration in most fantasy leagues.

Not playing Sunday
Allen (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Celtics.
Analyse
Allen injured his right knee during the Cavaliers' win over the Pistons on Tuesday. The injury will sideline the veteran center for Sunday's contest, but he could return for the second leg of the Cavaliers' back-to-back set against the 76ers on Sunday. Thomas Bryant figures to be the top candidate to enter Cleveland's starting lineup in Allen's absence.

Allen (knee) did not practice Friday, Spencer Davies of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Analyse
Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. The severity of the issue remains unclear, but the Cavaliers don't play until Sunday which helps his case.

Leaves early with knee injury
Allen (knee) exited with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter of Tuesday's 113-109 win over the Pistons and didn't return. He finished with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 21 minutes.
Analyse
Allen injured his right knee midway through the third quarter and was listed as doubtful to return. The severity of the injury won't be known until Allen is further evaluated, though the big man will have until Sunday's game against the Celtics to recover. If he's forced to miss time, Evan Mobley would likely slide over to center, and backup big man Thomas Bryant could see a bump in minutes.

Doubtful to return Tuesday
Allen is doubtful to return to Tuesday's game against the Pistons due to a right knee injury, Serena Winters of FanDuel Sports Network Ohio reports.
Analyse
Allen checked out of Tuesday's contest with 7:32 remaining in the third quarter and is unlikely to return. If the big man is unable to check back in, Thomas Bryant will likely help pick up the slack the rest of the way.
