Tony Allen: (Hamstring) Will Play In Game 1

Allen (hamstring) will play in Sunday's Game 1 against Portland, Rob Fischer of Sports 56 WHBQ-87.7FM reports.

Analysis:

Allen missed the final nine games of the regular season and there's concern that he'll be rusty when he takes the court Sunday. As a result, his workload may fall short of the 26.2 minutes that he averaged over the course of the season since he needs to be eased back into action after such a prolonged absence.
