Jarrett Allen: Likely to play SundayAllen (finger) is listed as probable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.
Jarrett Allen (finger) is out for Friday's game against the Wizards.While Allen fully participated in Tuesday's practice, he still has not reached the point where he can play in games. Evan Mobley will continue to start at the center position, which raises his fantasy ceiling. Also, Jaylon Tyson is worth a look in deeper leagues since he has moved into the starting lineup.
Jarrett Allen (finger) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice, according to Cavaliers reporter Danny Cunningham.Allen has missed five straight and eight of Cleveland's last nine games, but his participation in practice suggests he's got a chance to take the court for Cleveland's next game. The Cavs don't play again until Friday, which gives Allen plenty of time to recover. If Allen is cleared to play, he could reclaim his starting spot from Jaylon Tyson. Sam Merrill (hand) hasn't played since November 17, and he did not participate in practice.

Evan Mobley (illness) said he will play against the Spurs on Friday.Mobley was a late addition to the injury report due to an illness, but it won't prevent him from suiting up against San Antonio. With Jarrett Allen (finger) sidelined, Mobley will continue to fill the center spot, which leaves him primed for a big night against Luke Kornet and the Spurs.
