Jeremy Lin (knee surgery) is reportedly targeting a return during the first round of the playoffs, though his official timetable has him out until the second round. First the Knicks need to hang onto their one-game lead over the Bucks in the Eastern Conference playoff race, and even then there are no guarantees that Lin will be cleared to return early. For now, Baron Davis and Toney Douglas will continue to hold down the PG spot for New York.
