Tony Allen was fined $5,000 for overreacting to a Manu Ginobili flagrant foul in the fourth quarter of Game 2.
Ginobili took Allen down hard with 26 seconds left, preventing a layup on a fastbreak. Allen proceeded to stay on the floor, holding his head even though he never hit his head. It was a classic acting job that helped draw the flagrant. May 24 - 5:27 PM

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen appeared to tweak a hamstring late in Tuesday's Game 2 win, finishing with 12 points, seven rebounds and four steals on 4-of-13 shooting.

Allen played very tough defense on Kevin Durant and company tonight and the Grizzlies will need his D the rest of the way. The injury doesn't appear to be serious and for now, we're expecting him to play in Saturday's Game 3.

The Cavs are expected to be interested in signing Tony Allen as an unrestricted free agent in the offseason.

Cleveland needs to sorely improve on the defensive end and adding Allen on the wing would be a good start. It's not clear if Allen would even be interested in playing for the Cavs, but we'd expect him to draw several offers on the open market.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins doesn't plan to have Tony Allen defend Kevin Durant in the second round, citing Durant's size advantage and ability to force double-teams in the post.

The idea in Game 1 was to have Tayshaun Prince defend KD straight up, but that resulted in a massive 35/15/6 line for the league's second-leading scorer. With the Thunder short-handed and leaning heavily on their resident MVP, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Grizzlies throw him some curveballs in Game 2.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen scored a career playoff-best 16 points in Monday's Game 2 loss to the Clippers, hitting 6-of-9 shots (including a three) with 10 rebounds, two steals and one block in 39 minutes.

Allen really can't leave the floor against a Clipper team full of athletes, though he has to continue to play at a high level as he did tonight if the Grizz want any chance of evening the series up at home. Jerryd Bayless played just nine minutes tonight and low utilization could be a trend for the rest of the playoffs.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen was everywhere in 35 minutes on Sunday, racking up 12 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals, three blocks and zero turnovers.

Allen hit 5-of-8 FGs and we'd love to know how many deflections he had -- Lionel Hollins said the Grizzlies had 37 deflections as a team, but it's not a stat that's officially tracked. Most fantasy owners only use him as a steals specialist, and tonight's line is doubtful to be duplicated in Memphis' final five games.

Tony Allen is not currently giving thought to his impending free agency.

Allen will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season, but he said "I ain't thinking about free agency. I'm thinking about a championship." Allen has reportedly "made it clear" he'd like to re-sign with the Grizzlies, but it's not clear if the team will pursue re-signing him. He'll draw plenty of interest in the offseason.

Tony Allen finished Wednesday's easy win in Portland with 14 points, two boards, three assists, five steals and zero turnovers.

Mike Conley led the way with 20 points on 7-of-11 shooting, with three 3s and five dimes, and as usual Memphis won with balanced scoring and excellent defense. The Blazers finished 41.2 percent from the field, including an abysmal 4-of-29 from downtown, and they turned the ball over 16 times.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen scored 16 points on 8-of-12 shooting with four rebounds and two steals over 27 minutes in Friday's 103-94 win over the Rockets.

Allen is a borderline play better suited for deeper leagues, but with four games on the slate next week he's well worth a look.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen double-doubled at Madison Square Garden with 18 points and 10 boards, adding two assists on 7-of-10 shooting on Wednesday.

He played hard in 26 minutes and even dove into the third row by the scorer's table in fourth quarter. Allen has taken a bit of a backseat to Jerryd Bayless, so there's really no reason to pick him up unless you plan to use his back-to-back set that starts on Friday to your advantage.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen grabbed a season-high 10 rebounds as the Grizzlies held on for a win vs. the visiting Celtics on Saturday.

Allen also scored 10 points on 5-of-13 shooting, with three assists, one steal and only one turnover in 33 minutes. He's been hitting the boards all season, averaging a career-high 4.6 rebounds per game, but keep in mind that he'd scored single-digit points in six straight games before squeaking by tonight.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen played 21 minutes during Wednesday's 91-85 win over the Blazers, scoring 10 points with seven boards, one steal and one block on 4-of-13 shooting.

In his 11 games prior to last Wednesday, Allen played 30 minutes per game and produced averages of 11 points, eight boards and 1.5 steals. However, his minutes have taken a dip lately and those that picked him up in standards should consider cutting him for a hot free agent. Jerryd Bayless does have a bit more value and he played well Wednesday with 13 points, two boards, one assist, one steal and three 3-pointers in 25 minutes.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen flirted with a double-double on Friday with nine points and eight boards, adding one assist, two steals and two blocks in 33 minutes.

He's not the flashiest player in the league, but he in his previous five games, TA averaged 13.2 points, 6.2 boards, 2.4 steals, 0.6 blocks and 0.4 triples on 63.4 percent from the field. There are some other players with bigger upside, but he's a rock-solid asset in standard formats right now. Jerryd Bayless had another off game with just eight points, two boards, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen had 12 points, eight rebounds, one assist, three steals and a block on 3-of-8 shooting in 35 minutes on Wednesday.

Allen is playing well and getting heavy minutes for the Grizzlies. The possible arrival of J.J. Redick could slow his roll, but with a fantasy-friendly schedule the rest of the way, Allen is worth a look in most leagues, especially head-to-head playoff formats where games played matter, but don't expect him to knock down 3-pointers. The Grizzlies finish up with a weekly games-played schedule of 3-3-4-4-4-4-3-2.

Tony Allen - G/F - Grizzlies

Tony Allen had 10 points, six rebounds, an assist, steal and block on 5-of-7 shooting in 20 minutes on Tuesday.

Allen is starting to come on and has the ability to pack the stat sheet across the board. He's not going to help you win any scoring titles, but could be an asset down the stretch given the Grizzlies' fantasy-friendly playoff schedule.
