This article references Jeremy Lin and more! Nets guard Jeremy Lin has been ruled out of Tuesday's contest against the Detroit Pistons due to an ankle injury. Lin has downplayed the injury, but the Nets have no incentive to rush him back onto the court. He's listed as day-to-day, but we could be looking at a multiple games absence for Lin. Spencer Dinwiddie will draw the start in place of Lin, and guys like Archie Goodwin and Isaiah Whitehead will see some minutes as well. Dinwiddie is a decent option tonight versus the Pistons.Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin Ruled Out Against Pistons

This article references Jeremy Lin and more! Jeremy Lin sprained his right ankle during Sunday's game against the Mavericks and won't return. However, the Nets were getting blown out by Dallas so this may have just been a precautionary sitting. Lin has been dealing with various leg issues all season so he could end up sitting some games in the coming week as Brooklyn really has nothing to play for this season. If Lin sits out more games, Isaiah Whitehead, Sean Kilpatrick, and Randy Foye should all see an increase in minutes and usage.Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin Sprains Right Ankle; Won't Return

This article references Jeremy Lin and more! Jeremy Lin will be sidelined with a hamstring injury Wednesday night against the Chicago Bulls. Starting in his place will be Isaiah Whitehead. Whitehead has certainly produced more efficiently in an increased workload this season and could do the same tonight as the Nets will likely find themselves playing catchup against a talented Bulls squad. Joe Harris is also questionable to play on [...]Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin Out Versus Chicago Bulls

This article references Jeremy Lin and more! The Brooklyn Nets will be without point guard Jeremy Lin who reinjured his hamstring during Monday's win against the Charlotte Hornets. Lin has averaged 13.9 points, 5.8 assists, and 3.3 rebounds in 12 games. The severity of his injury is unclear, but Brian Lewis reports that the guard is not traveling with the Nets on their mini road trip. The loss of Lin's production is not calamitous. He can easily be replaced by guards on your waiver wire like Milwaukee's Matthew Dellavedova or Philadelphia'[...]Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin Out against Bulls

This article references Jeremy Lin and more! While the Raps have been good against opposing point guards, it's exciting news that Lin will run with the starters after three games coming off the bench. He'll likely receive more minutes than his previous games (20, 20, 22), but we're not expecting anything above 30. There's risk here as the blowout potential is very real with Brook Lopez resting against the second-place Raptors. It's a little bit of a gamble, but could pay off for the right price depending what DFS medium you're using.Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin Returning to Starting Unit Against Raptors

This article references Jeremy Lin and more! Coach Kenny Atkinson has said that Jeremy Lin will come off the bench, but went on to say that the minutes will be based on "feel." That's encouraging news as Linsanity is easily the best point guard on the team. There's some risk there, but Lin has looked good in 20 minutes in his two games back with the Nets averaging 1.0 threes, 13.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.5 steal, and 0.5 block. Not the worst gamble tonight.Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin To See Increased Minutes?

Isaiah [...]Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin Out Wednesday Night

This article references Jeremy Lin and more! Former Rockets starter Jeremy Lin will return to his new team, the Brooklyn Nets, in time for tonight’s matchup in Houston. The 28-year-old Harvard alum has missed the past five weeks of the season dealing with a right hamstring strain. His return at this time is particularly surprising, considering he’d gone through just one full practice session while rehabbing. Sean Kilpatrick stepped into the starting point guard role in his absence and was a serviceable alternative, currently averaging [...]Keep on reading: Jeremy Lin Making His Return To Nets Lineup Against Former Team
