Lin scored a season-high 35 points (13-22 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FG) with five rebounds, four assists, and two blocks through 47 minutes in a 109-99 victory over the Raptors on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Lin received a fortuitous start Thursday, etched into the starting lineup after Nicolas Batum sat out with an illness. With thin depth at the 1 and 2, both Lin and Kemba Walker saw an abnormally high amount of court time, notching 47 and 44 minutes, respectively. Lin has to be riding high after his performance Thursday, representing his first 30-point game since Nov. 2013. With Charlotte receiving a rest day Friday, Lin should be available at full strength before Saturday's game against the Wizards.
