Modest output in Game 1 win
Allen amassed 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-2 FT), seven rebounds and one steal across 28 minutes during Saturday's 126-113 victory over the Raptors in Game 1 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Allen didn't have the most productive stat line Saturday, but he doesn't need to when he shares the court with the likes of Donovan Mitchell, James Harden and Evan Mobley. Allen is also shaking off some rust after missing 14 of the Cavaliers' last 19 games of the regular season (including the final two games) due to a knee injury.

Fades injury report
Allen (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's Game 1 against the Raptors.
Analysis
Allen sat out the final two games of the regular season due to right knee injury maintenance, though he'll return for the start of the playoffs. In three regular-season appearances in April, the big man averaged 15.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks across 26.0 minutes per showing.
