Jarrett Allen Uncertain For Wednesday - NBA News | Fantasy Basketball
NBA News
According to a report by Shams Charania of The Athletic, Cleveland Cavaliers center Jarrett Allen is questionable to play on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz due to a non-COVID illness.
Allen has been a key player for the Cavaliers this season, averaging 13.2 points, 10.1 rebounds, and 1.4 blocks per game. He has also been a key part of the Cavaliers' defense, which ranks ninth in the NBA in defensive rating.
Fantasy Impact
If Allen is unable to play on Wednesday, it will be a big blow to the Cavaliers. He is one of their most important players and his absence would be a major loss.
In terms of fantasy basketball, Allen's absence would be a big boost to the value of Evan Mobley. Mobley has been a solid fantasy contributor this season, averaging 14.9 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game. He would be in line for a significant increase in minutes and usage if Allen is unable to play.
