Kadeem Allen (illness) ruled out for shorthanded Knicks versus Jazz

New York Knicks shooting guard Kadeem Allen (illness) will not play on Wednesday against the Utah Jazz.

What It Means:

Dennis Smith Jr. (back), Frank Ntilikina (groin), Allonzo Trier (calf), and Noah Vonleh (ankle) have also been ruled out, so the Knicks will be working with a thin roster at home. Emmanuel Mudiay, Damyean Dotson, and John Jenkins all stand to benefit.

Allen is averaging 20.0 FanDuel points in 13 games this season, with 9.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.9 steals, and 0.8 triples per contest.
