Allen has been ruled out of Saturday's tilt with the Warriors with a sore left hamstring, Grizzlies sideline reporter Rob Fischer reports.

Analysis:

It seems like general soreness in Allen's hamstring will keep him on the bench, but it doesn't seem to severe. The veteran will get some much needed rest before the playoffs begin in a week. Look for Vince Carter, Lance Stephenson, and P.J. Hairston to see increased action in Allen's absence.
