Cleveland Cavaliers center
Jarrett Allen is available for Thursday's meeting with the Pacers. With
Darius Garland (toe),
Donovan Mitchell (ankle),
Evan Mobley (rest), and
Max Strus (knee) getting the night off, Allen is the only starter who will get on the floor. However, according to head coach Kenny Atkinson, the former Net will play in a "limited capacity," meaning he will see fewer minutes than usual. As a result,
Tristan Thompson and
Chuma Okeke should be more productive, although
Ty Jerome and
De'Andre Hunter remain the safest fantasy options for the Cavs on Thursday night.

Jarrett Allen (finger) will play in Sunday's matchup against the Memphis Grizzlies. The tenacious big man injured his right index finger in the previous game against the New York Knicks, logging only 20 minutes, but fortunately, he will not be forced to miss additional time. Allen has been a big part of Cleveland's success this season, averaging 13.6 points and 10.4 rebounds with 70.6 percent shooting from the field. On Sunday, Allen may have more success offensively than usual, as Memphis allows the eighth-most points per game to opposing centers.

Jarrett Allen (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against Memphis. The former Brooklyn Net exited Friday's blowout win over the New York Knicks because of a hand injury. Fortunately, X-rays were negative, although he was set for an MRI on Saturday. Hopefully, Allen won't miss extended time because of the injury. But if he ends up on the shelf,
Evan Mobley could handle things in the middle, with
De'Andre Hunter or
Dean Wade potentially getting the start at the four spot.

Jarrett Allen (hand) exited Friday's massive win over the Knicks. While X-rays were negative, head coach Kenny Atkinson indicated Allen will undergo an MRI on Saturday. Cleveland is currently the top team in the Eastern Conference, sitting on a 46-10 record. However, the Cavs could be without Allen for at least a few games, depending on how things play out. If that's the case,
Evan Mobley will likely slide over to the middle, with
De'Andre Hunter or
Dean Wade entering the starting lineup to handle things at the four spot.
