Allen is expected to move into the starting lineup Saturday against Philadelphia, Candace Buckner of the Indy Star reports.

Analysis:

Coach Frank Vogel has hinted at making changes of late, and it appears he'll move Allen into the lineup and shift rookie Myles Turner to a bench role. The shift will allow Turner to play his more natural center spot with the second unit, rather than playing the four alongside Ian Mahinmi. While Turner admitted that he'd prefer to start, he's unlikely to see much of a reduced role, minutes-wise.
