Allen notched 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Saturday's 121-99 loss to Miami in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.
Allen continues to be a reliable source of offense for Milwaukee. He's averaged 14.0 points while shooting 52.6 percent from deep during the first three games of the opening-round series versus Miami. So far, Giannis Antetokounmpo's (back) absence hasn't had a significant impact on Allen's role or production.

Rotowire
Allen (ankle) will play in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference First Round against the Heat, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Practices fully Thursday
Rotowire
Coach Mike Budenholzer said Allen (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Allen has missed Milwaukee's last four games due to a right ankle sprain. However, his return to practice Thursday is a good sign of his availability for Sunday's matchup versus the winner of the Heat and Bulls in the Play-In. The 27-year-old guard has started in 70 of his 72 appearances this season.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Still limited by ankle injury
Rotowire
Allen (ankle) was a limited participant during Tuesday's practice, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Allen hasn't played since April 2 due to a right ankle sprain, but he was expected to be re-evaluated ahead of playoff action. The fact he was able to at least do some parts of Tuesday's practice is a good sign, and he still has a few more days to rest and rehab before the Bucks find out who their opening-round opponent will be.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Likely out until playoffs
Rotowire
Coach Mike Budenholzer said Tuesday that Allen's (ankle) return may coincide with when the Bucks learn who their opponent is coming out of the Play-In, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.
Allen has already been ruled out Tuesday due to a right ankle sprain he suffered against the Wizards. Budenholzer's comments indicate that the 27-year-old guard returning for the first round of the playoffs would be a best-case scenario. With Milwaukee sitting in first place in the Eastern Conference, two games ahead of Boston, there is no reason to rush him back early. Goran Dragic, Pat Connaughton and Joe Ingles are candidates to see extended minutes in Allen's absence.

Rotowire
Allen (ankle) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against Washington.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Ruled out for game
Rotowire
Allen has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the 76ers due to a right ankle sprain.
Allen sustained his ankle injury in the third quarter and had to be helped to the locker room afterward, and he was ruled out shortly before the fourth quarter. Prior to his departure, he logged two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 20 minutes. Whether he'll be available Tuesday against the Wizards remains to be seen, but Joe Ingles will likely see increased run if Allen is sidelined.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Drops 25 points versus Jazz
Rotowire
Allen amassed 25 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two steals across 22 minutes during Friday's 144-116 win over the Jazz.
Allen scored a combined 10 points in his previous two games, but he took advantage of his extra usage and minutes Friday night with the Bucks missing Khris Middleton (knee) on the front end of the back-to-back set. The Bucks could sit their key players a good bit in the final two weeks, so Allen could see a spike in fantasy value for his three-point prowess.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Woeful performance Sunday
Rotowire
Allen registered two points (1-7 FG, 0-6 3Pt), two rebounds and one block over 26 minutes during Sunday's 118-111 win over Toronto.
Allen returned from a two-game absence, although he may have been better off spending another night on the bench. He ended with just two points, offering zero upside for anyone who happened to stream him in. With Khris Middleton now back and firing on all cylinders, Allen should be viewed as more of a deeper-league target.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Available against Toronto
Rotowire
Allen (foot) is available for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Allen missed the last two games due to his foot injury, but he was probable ahead of Sunday's matchup and will officially return to action. Over seven appearances this month, he's averaged 12.9 points and 3.4 rebounds in 30.0 minutes per game.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Probable for Sunday
Rotowire
Allen (foot) is probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.
Allen should be back following a two-game absence with right foot soreness. Expect him to rejoin the starters, a role in which he's averaged 12.1 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists since the All-Star break.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Out again Thursday
Rotowire
Allen (foot) will be sidelined for Thursday's contest versus the Pacers.
Right foot soreness will keep Allen out for a second consecutive game. Jevon Carter may start again in his absence, while Pat Connaughton, Joe Ingles and Wesley Matthews are candidates for extended minutes.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Out Tuesday
Rotowire
Allen has been ruled out for Tuesday's game in Phoenix due to right plantar fascia soreness.
With both Allen and Khris Middleton (rest) set to watch Tuesday's game from the sidelines, there will be more opportunities for guys like Jevon Carter, Joe Ingles and Pat Connaughton. Considering that the Bucks are labeling Allen's foot issue as "soreness," this feels more like a rest day on the second leg of a back-to-back, but for now, we'll consider him questionable for Thursday's game against the Pacers.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Drains multiple threes again
Rotowire
Allen finished with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes during Monday's 133-124 win over Sacramento.
Allen will not carry much fantasy value when the Bucks are at full strength, but he can be a valuable contributor in some specific categories. On that note, he's taking advantage of the attention opposing defenses give to the likes of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jrue Holiday, Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez to produce from deep. Allen has knocked down two or more threes in six of his last seven appearances and is shooting 43.5 percent from beyond the arc in that span.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Knocks down four threes
Rotowire
Allen chipped in 12 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 28 minutes during Wednesday's 139-117 win over the Magic.
Allen knocked down three of five shots for nine points in the first half, all coming from beyond the arc as Milwaukee jumped out to an early lead. He was quiet after the break on the offensive end, however, going just 1-of-3 for another three points while adding two rebounds, two steals and an assist. Allen has scored at least 10 points in three of his last five contests and has two steals in each of his last two.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Perfect showing from line in win
Rotowire
Allen finished with 13 points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 36 minutes in Tuesday's 131-125 overtime win over the Celtics.
Allen reached double figures in the scoring column for the third time in five games, but the performance was somewhat inflated by the extra minutes he received in the overtime period to go along with some unexpected production from the free-throw line. Though Pat Connaughton is the more likely Bucks wing to move out of the starting five if head coach Mike Budenholzer eventually decides to return Khris Middleton to the top unit, the addition of Jae Crowder following the All-Star break cut result in Allen losing out on some minutes.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Scores 19 points in win
Rotowire
Allen had 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 123-115 win over Miami.
Allen scored 13 of his 19 points in the second half on 5-of-8 shooting from the field while adding two steals off of bad passes from Gabe Vincent in the third quarter. The Bucks' guard knocked down four threes in the contest, which tied Pat Connaughton for the game high, and he's now shooting 46.6 percent from beyond the arc over his last five games. Allen also dished out three dimes on the night after failing to record an assist in two straight games coming in.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Locks in from three
Rotowire
Allen ended Friday's 141-131 victory over the Pacers with 13 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one block across 32 minutes.
Allen scored nine of his 13 points from beyond the arc and finished in double figures for the first time in 10 days. He's attempted more than 10 field goals in a contest only twice in his last 10 matchups, and it'll be difficult for him to see much of an increase in shot volume with Giannis Antetounmmpo continuing to dominate.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Strong showing from deep
Rotowire
Allen produced 25 points (8-13 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 5-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 130-122 victory over the Raptors.
Allen put forth a strong night from deep in Tuesday's victory, connecting on his most threes since tallying a season-high seven triples Nov. 27 against Dallas. Allen has finished with at least 20 points in two games this season.

Bucks' Grayson Allen: Not facing minutes restriction
Rotowire
Coach Mike Budenholzer indicated Saturday that Allen (ankle) faces no specific restrictions in the afternoon contest versus the Heat, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Allen appears set for a full workload Saturday after missing the previous game Thursday due to a rolled ankle during Wednesday's game versus the Hawks. With Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) and Khris Middleton (knee) both still out, Allen should see ample run and will likely be counted on for some more scoring Saturday.
