Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Double-double against Knicks
Rotowire
Allen had 24 points (12-17 FG), 12 rebounds, one assist and one block in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 105-103 loss to the Knicks.
It's the 18th double-double of the season for Allen and his fourth in January. The 24-year-old center is averaging 14.5 points, 8.3 boards, 2.3 assists and 1.3 blocks through 12 games on the month while shooting 67.3 percent from the floor, but that stretch includes a Jan. 7 contest in which he played only seven minutes before exiting due to an illness.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Contributes in defensive categories
Rotowire
Allen finished with 12 points (6-10 FG), six rebounds, two assists, two steals and one block across 27 minutes in Saturday's 114-102 win over the Bucks.
Even though Donovan Mitchell (groin) missed his third straight game Saturday, Allen hasn't been a major beneficiary from a usage standpoint. Instead, frontcourt mate Evan Mobley (career-high 38 points) and point guard Darius Garland (31 points) did the heavy lifting Saturday, while Allen attempted 10 shots or fewer for the third game in a row. The center was at least able to compensate for his lackluster returns in the points and rebounds categories by making an impact in the two defensive categories.

Rotowire
Allen ended with 24 points (9-12 FG, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Monday's 113-103 win over the Pelicans.
Allen was tremendous in the victory, scoring at least 24 points for the second time in his past three games. He added 11 boards and three combined defensive stats, compiling one of his better two-way performances in the past couple of weeks. Despite some ups and downs, especially on the offensive end, Allen remains a solid top-50 player and should continue to do so ROS.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Solid numbers in losing effort
Rotowire
Allen finished with 19 points (8-10 FG, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 34 minutes in Saturday's 110-102 loss to the Timberwolves.
After an abbreviated seven-minute outing against the Jazz on Tuesday while he battled an illness, Allen has responded with back-to-back strong showings against the Trail Blazers and Timberwolves. Excluding the brief showing versus Utah, Allen is averaging 15.3 points, 9.1 rebounds and 1.6 blocks in 35.0 minutes per game through six outings in January.
Allen amassed 24 points (11-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and one steal over 39 minutes during Thursday's 119-113 victory over Portland.
Allen played through an illness Thursday, putting up just his second double-double in the past seven games. After an impressive start to the season, Allen's production has plateaued of late, as he sits outside the top 100 over the past two weeks. His offense is always going to come and go, so managers should not be surprised by his inconsistent scoring output. However, his blocks, while also inconsistent, feel as though they should be building blocks for his overall fantasy value. He has recorded multiple blocks only twice in his past 11 games. He remains a must-roster player, but managers will certainly be hoping for an uptick in defensive production sooner rather than later.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Double-double in return to court
Rotowire
Allen (back) registered 24 points (11-14 FG, 2-4 FT), 11 rebounds, three steals, one assist and one block in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 116-102 victory over the Lakers.
Making his return after missing the prior five games due to a sore back, Allen tied his season high in scoring and recorded his 10th double-double of the season, taking advantage of the fact that Anthony Davis (illness) barely saw the court for the Lakers. While Donovan Mitchell will remain the focal point of the Cavs' offense, Allen's strong secondary production from the frontcourt has been a big part of the team's success this season.

Rotowire

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Takes part in shootaround
Rotowire
Allen (back), who is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Lakers, took part in the Cavaliers' morning shootaround, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Allen has missed the Cavaliers' last five games, but his involvement in shootaround is a promising sign for his chances of ending his streak of absences Tuesday. The Cavaliers will likely provide more clarity on Allen's status in the hours leading up to the 7:30 p.m. ET opening tip.
