Analysis:

The Grizzlies' defensive stopper has been out of action since Jan. 3 with the hand injury. Since then, the team has acquired Courtney Lee, who has preformed admirably at the two guard, and could challenge Allen for minutes upon his return. Still, there are few players in the league that offer the same steals totals as Allen, so he should be on the radar of fantasy owners in need of help in that category.
