Lin has averaged 14.0 points, 2.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds, 0.5 blocks, and 0.5 steals through 33 minutes per game as the Hornets' starting shooting guard the past two games.

EDGE Analysis

Lin has been promoted to the starting lineup with Nicolas Batum out with a sprained toe. There is a solid chance that Batum misses at least one more game with the injury, which will keep Lin in the starting role. He has proven to be a reliable scorer in Batum's absence, contributing 15 points in Saturday's game and 13 in Monday's.
