The Hawks need Trae Young to keep their playoff hopes alive. (0:51)
Sources told Adrian Wojnarowski that Allen will play against the Hawks on Friday but will make a final decision at game time.
Allen broke his middle finger in the Toronto Raptors game.
After Allen was injured, the Cavaliers fell from sixth in the Eastern Conference to eighth and the play-in tournament, where they lost to the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday.
The winner of the Friday game will face the top-seeded Miami Heat in the first round of the playoffs.
Allen was named to the All-Star team this year and he averaged more than 15 points and 10 points per game during the regular season.
