Allen (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's Game 5, Peter Fleischer of FOX13 Memphis reports.

Analysis:

This might explain Allen's lack of playing time in Game 4, where he only logged 16 minutes despite starting and playing 33-plus minutes in the first three games. But it also might be the fact that Allen has been a bit of a liability on offense for the majority of this series. Through the first four games of the series, Allen has averaged 9.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 3.0 steals, and the Warriors essentially dared him shoot in Game 4. Allen will be a game-time decision Wednesday, and while he still has value as a defensive stopper, it shouldn't be expected that he makes any significant offensive contributions.
