Suns' Grayson Allen: Hits for 24 points in victory
Rotowire
Allen notched 24 points (9-18 FG, 6-11 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 130-125 win over Portland.
Allen turned in another solid total in the victory. He's now started six consecutive games, averaging 20.0 points, 5.0 assists and 3.2 rebounds during that stint. His tenure with the first unit could come to an end once Devin Booker (ankle) returns, but Allen should still have a noticeable impact with the second unit.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Paces Phoenix in loss
Rotowire
Allen finished with 23 points (7-21 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 5-6 FT), eight assists, two steals and one rebound across 36 minutes during Sunday's 117-93 loss to the Clippers.
Allen led the Suns in scoring but did so on inefficient shooting, converting just 33.3 percent of his attempts from the field. Even with a lackluster efficiency showing, the Duke product has now knocked down four-plus three-pointers in eight of the past 12 games. He also chipped in as a facilitator Sunday, matching a season-high eight assists.

Making his third straight start with both Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) unavailable, Allen delivered his best scoring performance since Jan. 15, when he also lit up the Pistons for 33 points.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Posts 18 points in win
Rotowire
Allen logged 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal over 34 minutes during Tuesday's 106-102 victory over the Nets.
Allen produced a solid line with Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) on the sidelines. Allen's result was a vast improvement from his previous game, where he connected on only four shots in 18 attempts. After taking 11 shots beyond the arc against the Heat, Allen's shot selection was more measured against Brooklyn, and the more conservative approach worked to his advantage.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Poor shooting in starting role
Rotowire
Allen logged 18 points (4-18 FG, 1-11 3Pt, 9-10 FT), six rebounds and three assists in 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-102 loss to Miami.
Allen made just his second start since Dec. 14 due to Devin Booker (ankle) and Jalen Green (hamstring) being sidelined and had a rough night shooting the ball. He did manage to get to the line frequently, converting a season-high nine free throws, but the 30-year-old's cold showing from deep stood out given his reputation as a perimeter shooter. The Duke product's outside shooting has dipped this season overall, as Allen entered the game hitting 37.5 percent from three across 28 appearances after clearing 40.0 percent in each of the previous two regular seasons.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Puts up 14 points
Rotowire
Allen had 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and eight assists across 30 minutes during Monday's 126-117 win over the Nets.
This was another solid showing for Allen, as the guard has quickly found his rhythm following his long injury absence. Although he's rolling right now, it will be interesting to see how the backcourt rotation shapes up with Jalen Green set to return from a lengthy injury absence Tuesday against the 76ers.

Allen amassed 33 points (11-25 FG, 7-20 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and three blocks in 31 minutes during Thursday's 108-105 loss to the Pistons.
Allen had the hot hand early in this one, dropping in 21 points by halftime, and he finished with a game-high 33 points while jacking up a career-high 20 three-point attempts. If Devin Booker (ankle) needs to miss Saturday's game in New York, Allen will have another opportunity to operate as the main man on offense for Phoenix.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Bounces back in win
Rotowire
Allen amassed 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), one assist and one block across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 117-98 win over the Grizzlies.
After being held without a point in his return to the rotation Monday against the Rockets, Allen found his footing in a big way Wednesday. He was a strong source of points and three-pointers prior to his injury, making him worth a long look for managers looking for help in those categories.

Suns' Grayson Allen: Held scoreless in return
Rotowire
Allen (knee) recorded zero points (0-6 FG, 0-4 3Pt), six assists, four steals and three rebounds across 22 minutes in Monday's 100-97 loss to the Rockets.
Though Allen delivered some useful numbers in the assists and steals columns, his scoreless effort on 0-for-6 shooting from the field limited the overall value of his stat line in his first game since Dec. 14. Allen had started in each of his previous 18 appearances on the season, but the Suns elected to bring him off the bench Monday to better manage his minutes after he had missed the team's previous nine contests due to right knee injury management. The 30-year-old may not move back into the starting five for Wednesday's game in Memphis, but he should see at least a slight uptick in minutes if he remains in a reserve role.

Rotowire
Allen (knee) will play against the Rockets on Monday, John Gambadoro of Arizona Sports 98.7 FM reports.
Allen will shed his probable tag and return from a nine-game absence due to a right knee injury. The 30-year-old swingman appeared in just four games in December, during which he averaged 11.0 points, 3.8 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 29.0 minutes per contest. His return will leave fewer minutes available for the likes of Jordan Goodwin, Rasheer Fleming and Isaiah Livers.
