Allen (knee, hamstring) will start Monday versus the Magic, Rob Fischer of Fox Sports Southeast reports.

Analysis:

After missing the previous two contests, Allen will return to action Monday in the starting lineup. Given his absence was relatively shorts, and that he is back in the starting lineup, expect him to take on his usual workload. Matt Barnes has been relegated to a reserve role with Allen's return.
