Lin (ankle) has been cleared to play in Sunday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

The Hornets were labeling Lin as questionable heading into to the contest due to a right ankle sprain that he's been nursing for nearly two weeks, but it looks like the team will have no qualms about using him in the second half of a back-to-back set. Lin exploded for 26 points (9-16 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), four rebounds, and four assists over 41 minutes in Saturday's game against the Lakers, but he'll likely see his court time tail off Sunday with Nicolas Batum (toe) expected to reclaim his spot in the starting lineup after a multi-game absence.
