Allen closed Tuesday's 127-113 loss to the Lakers with 18 points (9-11 FG, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 19 minutes.

The Cavaliers emptied their bench in the fourth quarter with the Lakers up 110-83, but Allen still led his team in scoring despite his reduced workload. The 27-year-old center also sat out the front end of Cleveland's back-to-back Monday as he works his way back from a knee injury and played just 18 minutes in his return Friday. The team's priority will be to make sure he's 100 percent for the playoffs. Allen may not get much more court time Thursday in a road clash with the Warriors.
