Hornets' Grayson Allen: Pours in 27 points, six triples in win
Allen finished with 27 points (8-14 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, six assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 124-112 win over Cleveland.
Allen erupted for a game-high 27 points after going scoreless in Friday's 119-80 loss to the Celtics. Monday's outing marked the second straight start for the former Sun, and he's now eclipsed the 20-point threshold in three of his last five games. Kon Knueppel (hamstring) is sidelined for at least another four weeks, so Allen is likely to continue seeing a heavy workload, with Brandon Miller (groin) also out.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Starting versus Boston
Allen will start in Friday's game against the Celtics
With Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Dennis Schroder (thigh) ruled out, Allen will make his first start of the 2026-27 campaign. In 27 regular-season starts with the Suns in 2025-26, the 31-year-old averaged 17.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.4 steals over 31.0 minutes per contest.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Scores 22 points with five triples
Allen ended Wednesday's 114-104 loss to the Nets with 22 points (6-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 27 minutes.
Allen scored at least 22 points for the second time in the past three games, providing Charlotte with a nice scoring punch off the bench. Although his arrow is likely headed in the wrong direction, another leg injury to Kon Knueppel could ensure Allen remains a viable asset in most fantasy formats, at least for the time being. If he was dropped in your league, adding him might be the way to go.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Passive performance Monday
Allen ended Monday's 124-91 loss to Detroit with 11 points (3-7 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and one rebound over 19 minutes.
Allen finished with an empty 11 points, logging just 19 minutes, coming off a season-high 27 points during a loss to the 76ers. With Coby White returning from a calf injury, there are simply more mouths to feed in the backcourt. Assuming Kon Knueppel's return from a hamstring injury is getting closer, playing time for Allen is going to be even harder to come by. Looking ahead, there is a chance he moves from being a must-roster player to more of a streaming candidate.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Catches fire from deep Saturday
Allen ended with 27 points (9-12 FG, 7-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block over 30 minutes in Saturday's 109-104 loss to Philadelphia.
Allen scored only five points in Friday's loss to the Wizards. However, he showed up in a big way Saturday by finishing the night with a new season high in scoring. The 2018 No. 21 overall pick is now averaging 15.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.9 assists while shooting a career-best 47.1 percent from deep over 27.3 minutes per contest in his first seven regular-season games with the Hornets.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Shooting woes continue
Allen recorded five points (2-10 FG, 1-6 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 21 minutes during Friday's 95-79 loss to the Wizards.
Allen continued to struggle with his shot, having now failed to exceed 40 percent from the field in four of his past five games. Despite playing a relatively significant role, Allen has averaged just 13.5 points, 2.8 assists and 2.8 three-pointers in 26.9 minutes per game through six appearances. While he is probably worth holding for now, once Charlotte starts to get healthy, he could very well trend towards becoming a three-point streaming option.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Adds 15 points off bench
Allen racked up 15 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-7 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Monday's 110-103 win over the Wizards.
Allen provided another scoring boost off Charlotte's bench, reaching double figures for the third time in four games to open the season. Although he struggled from the field, the veteran guard was perfect on seven free-throw attempts and connected on two triples. Allen should remain a useful source of points and three-pointers while Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) are sidelined.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Provides scoring punch off bench
Allen supplied 21 points (6-9 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and four assists across 29 minutes off the bench in Wednesday's 110-103 win over the Nets.
Allen made an immediate impact as Charlotte's sixth man, leading the team in scoring while connecting on five three-pointers in an extremely efficient shooting display. It's only one game, and he's not expected to play 29 minutes on a regular basis, but he should have a steady workload regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, particularly if the Hornets continue to rely on his perimeter shooting. His limited defensive contributions and dependence on three-point efficiency could make his fantasy production somewhat inconsistent, but there's no question this was an excellent start to his Hornets tenure.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Not listed on injury report
Allen (knee) isn't listed on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Nets.
Allen missed three straight preseason games due to a nagging knee issue, but he'll be good to go for Opening Night. Depending on how his knee holds up, Allen could be in line for major usage, as Coby White (calf) and Kon Knueppel (hamstring) will be sidelined for the regular-season opener.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Nets 13 points with three treys
Allen contributed 13 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one assist over 14 minutes in Tuesday's 124-90 preseason loss to the Nets.
Kon Knueppel (hamstring) and Coby White (calf) won't play during the preseason, and if their injuries linger into the regular season, that could result in major minutes and a starting role for Allen. As a starter in Phoenix last season, Allen averaged 17.6 points, 3.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 3.3 triples and 1.4 steals per game on 42/37/84 shooting splits.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: May handle bigger role
Allen could open the season as a starter if Kon Knueppel (hamstring) isn't ready for Opening Night.
Knueppel has already been ruled out for the preseason, and his absence could extend into the regular season. Allen would likely see a sizable boost in streaming appeal if Knueppel isn't available for the start of the season, having averaged 17.6 points, 4.1 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals per contest in 27 games as a starter for the Suns in 2025-26.

Hornets' Grayson Allen: Traded to Charlotte
The Suns traded Allen, Royce O'Neale and a 2033 first-round pick to the Hornets on Sunday in exchange for Miles Bridges, a 2029 first-round pick and a 2027 second-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
After spending the past three years in Phoenix, Allen will join a retooling Charlotte squad that has now traded away LaMelo Ball and Bridges this offseason. Allen is coming off arguably the best year of his career, averaging 16.5 points, 3.8 assists, 3.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 28.8 minutes per game across 51 outings (27 starts). However, he shot just 40.3 percent from the field and 34.9 percent from deep, a significant dip from the 2024-25 campaign. He figures to play a significant role off the bench for Charlotte and will likely compete for minutes with Sion James and Tre Mann.
