Grayson Allen Injury Update: Is Allen Playing Tonight vs. Trail Blazers in Play-In?
Allen is officially questionable for Tuesday’s game vs. the Trail Blazers, via the NBA injury report.
It’s been a rough season on the health front for Allen, who played in 51 of the Suns’ 82 regular-season contests. Hip, quad, and knee injuries held him back earlier in the season, then the latest hamstring ailment saw him miss April 12’s finale against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
It appears that Allen, who averaged 16.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game this year, will be evaluated closer to game time.
As Allen’s status continues to be monitored, you can make picks on his PrizePicks projections if he does play. Popular Grayson Allen picks include 10.5 Points, 5 Rebs + Asts, 15.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts, and more.
What Players to Target on PrizePicks if Allen Is Out?
When available, Allen is a key cog in the Suns machine. He’s logged 28.8 minutes on a nightly basis, starting 27 games and coming off the bench in another 24. He does a good chunk of his damage from beyond the arc, firing up 8.9 3-pointers on average while connecting on 34.9% of them.
Per databallr, the Suns’ offense only sees a 0.8-point drop-off when he’s off the court. Their defense also performs 3.9 points better per 100 possessions. Allen, who’s played banged up this year, owns an ugly -4.8 net rating.
If Allen sits, a trio of Phoenix players might rise to the occasion. F Royce O’Neale’s plus-minus rises by 5.9 in Allen-less minutes. G Jordan Goodwin’s usage rate spikes by 3.3% in those scenarios. Not to be totally left out, G Collin Gillespie has an absurd 11.5% jump in true shooting percentage without Allen.
Here are the Suns players who may benefit most on PrizePicks if Allen is out, as well as their stat projections for Tuesday.
- Royce O’Neale vs. Trail Blazers Projections: 7 Points / 1.5 3-PT Made (Goblin) / 3.5 Rebs
- Jordan Goodwin vs. Trail Blazers Projections: 7 Points / 0.5 3-PT Made (Goblin) / 5 Rebs
- Collin Gillespie vs. Trail Blazers Projections: 7.5 Points / 1.5 3-PT Made (Goblin) / 13.5 Pts + Rebs + Asts
Given his prominence in the rotation (28.5 MPG) and 3-point efficiency (40.1%), Gillespie is worth keeping an eye on this evening.
