Lin will not start in Monday's game against the Rockets, Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was announced early on Monday that Lin would be playing limited minutes in his return from a hamstring injury, and he will now be brought off the bench as a result. He will continue to backup Isaiah Whitehead, who has served as the team's primary point guard in Lin's absence. It will likely take a few games before Lin is ready to take on his regular load of minutes as Brooklyn's starting point guard.
