Jeremy Lin (back spasms) missed another practice on Tuesday. The Rockets were "not optimistic" about his status for Wednesday's game, and his continued absence today makes him seem more 'doubtful' than 'questionable'. If he does sit out, Patrick Beverley will get a few extra minutes as the starting PG and Aaron Brooks will once again pick up the slack off the bench.
