Grizzlies' Tony Allen: Will start Saturday

Allen (groin) will start at shooting guard Saturday against the Timberwolves.

Analysis:

Allen returned to action in Friday's win over the Mavericks after missing four games, and he will take the floor again Saturday, despite the Grizzlies playing back-to-back days. The veteran played 18 minutes off the bench Friday, but he'll reenter the starting five while Chandler Parsons (knee) sits out, which could translate to a boost in playing time.
