X-rays were negative on Jeremy Lin's right chest injury that limited him to just 20 minutes, seven points and three assists in Wednesday's Game 2 loss. Lin sounds like he plans on playing in Saturday's Game 3 in Houston, but he has some sort of bruise or pulled muscle in his chest, leaving him very iffy. With or without Lin, it would appear that Patrick Beverley has locked himself into heavy minutes and a prominent role with Houston going forward after racking up 16 points, 12 rebounds, six assists, two steals, a block and two 3-pointers in the tough loss.
