Phoenix has listed Allen as questionable due to right knee soreness and he is in danger of missing his second consecutive contest.
If Allen is sidelined once again on Thursday, Royce O’Neale will likely draw another start in his place while Ryan Dunn and Jordan Goodwin could also have increased roles.

Golden State has ruled out Horford due to right sciatic nerve irritation that has caused him to miss nine of the Warriors’ last 10 games and he is expected to be sidelined at least one more week.
With Horford still sidelined, Quinten Post will likely continue to have an increased role off the bench behind Draymond Green.
