Fantasy Analysis

After letting Game 6 slip, the Clippers -- trying to reverse their mostly miserable fortune -- face a Game 7 in Memphis. Ken Berger says it'll be Chris Paul's biggest challenge yet.
Tony Allen is mainly viewed as a defensive specialist for the Grizzlies. An inconsistent offensive player, the 29-year-old will remain little more than an occasional Fantasy option off the waiver wire. His defense should buy him about 20 minutes per game, which gives him enough time to make a swipe or two per contest. That will remain his biggest asset to Fantasy owners in category play.
