Jarrett Allen DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cleveland Cavaliers center 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.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (hand) has been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against the New York Knicks. Allen suffered a right hand injury during the third quarter, but luckily the X-rays were negative. The Cavs are going to play it safe and hold out Allen for the rest of this contest. For now, fantasy managers should consider Allen as day-to-day. Evan Mobley figures to see more time at the center spot, while De'Andre Hunter and Dean Wade could play more minutes during the final quarter or so of this game.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (leg) is dealing with a lower leg strain but is still considered probable to face off against the Chicago Bulls on Friday. Allen has appeared on the injury report for the last few games with the same strain, but it hasn't caused him to miss any time yet. In 13 starts, Allen has posted eight double-doubles and averaged 13.3 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game. He and Evan Mobley have been a big part of the Cavs' top-seven defense.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen (leg) is listed as questionable ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia 76ers. Allen finds himself on the injury report after a few rough performances. He is reportedly dealing with a lower leg strain which could be part of the reason he is struggling right now. It wouldn't be shocking to see the Cavs give Allen the day off to rest and get fully healthy. The Cavs would likely use a committee approach to fill the void if Allen misses time. That means, Isaac Okoro, Georges Niang, and Dean Wade should all see more minutes in the rotation. Niang is probably the best streaming choice between the three if Allen is unable to play.

Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is reportedly on the Pelicans' radar. Jonas Valanciunas isn't expected back next season, and Brandon Ingram could be on the move, so adding Allen would undoubtedly lessen the blow caused by the potential departures. The 26-year-old finished last season by averaging a career-high 16.5 points with 10.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks. He also shot 63.4% from the field. Of course, Cleveland's primary focus this offseason is on extending Donovan Mitchell. However, the Cavs could keep their core intact, considering Evan Mobley wasn't the healthiest during the 2023-24 campaign.
