Analysis:

With both Ian Mahinmi (back) and C.J. Miles (ankle) out, the Pacers will turn to the 26-year-old big man to start. Allen has seen solid minutes off the bench, averaging 15.8 minutes per game with 2.3 PPG and 3.5 RPG. This starting role could increase his minutes and production for the time being.
