Grizzlies' Tony Allen: Scores 15 in return to Starting lineup

Allen recorded 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 30 minutes of play in Monday's 113-93 win over the Bucks.

Analysis:

Allen proved his worth in the starting lineup Monday after coming off the bench in the Grizzlies' previous three games by recording his highest point total in over a month. Perhaps most surprising was that Allen was able to connect on both of his three-point attempts in the game, which set a modest new season-high. With news coming down that high-profile, 2016 free-agent signing Chandler Parsons will be out indefinitely with a knee injury, Allen should continue to see additional work for the Grizzlies to close out the season; however, the defensive-minded stopper still should not be counted on as a daily option in most fantasy formats.
