The 17 rebounds were a season-high mark for the big man, and Allen has recorded three double-doubles in his last four appearances. Allen doesn't have a primary role on offense and could be considered the fourth-best scoring option for Cleveland -- behind Donovan Mitchell, Evan Mobley and Darius Garland -- but he remains productive.

Allen led the Cavaliers in points and rebounds in this one, and the star center is ready for the start of the regular season against the Raptors on Wednesday.

Cavaliers' Jarrett Allen: Gets another questionable tag
Rotowire
Allen (ribs) is questionable for Saturday's Game 3 against the Celtics.
Allen has missed five straight games and was listed as questionable ahead of each of them, so his current status doesn't provide increased optimism. The Cavaliers were surprisingly able to even the series with a Game 2 victory Thursday, and the potential return of their star big man would be another major momentum shift, especially with Kristaps Porzingis (calf) expected to be sidelined for at least a few more games. However, if Allen remains sidelined, Isaac Okoro would likely draw another start.
