Lin (hamstring) won't play in Tuesday's tilt against the Atlanta, Hawks writer K.L. Chouinard reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lin will be missing his seventh straight game due to a strained left hamstring. He remains without timetable for return and is considered day-to-day. Isaiah Whitehead and Spencer Dinwiddie will continue to see extra minutes with Lin out.

Lin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Sixers.
EDGE Analysis
Lin continues to work his way back from a strained left hamstring, with Sunday marking his sixth straight absence. He's yet to be given any sort of timetable for a return, so he'll continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis until further information is provided. Isaiah Whitehead is slated to draw the start at point guard despite being moved to the bench in favor of Spencer Dinwiddie on Friday against the Cavaliers, so look for Whitehead to get the bulk of the point guard workload Sunday.

Lin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Cavaliers.
EDGE Analysis
The Nets are continuing to evaluate Lin's status on a game-by-game basis, but Friday's game will be the fifth straight game he will miss, and it remains to be seen when he will be ready to get back on the court. Isaiah Whitehead figures to continue starting at point guard until Lin returns.

Lin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Pacers, Michael Scotto of The Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lin has missed the last three games with a lingering hamstring injury and it's a bit concerning that he's already been ruled out a day in advance of Thursday's contest. That said, the Nets are going into a back-to-back set on Thursday and Friday, so they could just be playing it safe with their guard to avoid a heavy workload upon his return. Look for Lin's status to be updated again ahead of Friday's tilt with the Cavaliers, but Isaiah Whitehead should remain in the starting lineup in the meantime, while Spencer Dinwiddie and Randy Foye could see some added run off the bench as well.

Lin (hamstring) will not play Monday against the Jazz, Michael Scotto of Basketball Insiders reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lin will be missing his third consecutive game Monday after playing in six straight contests. His next opportunity to return will be Thursday against the Pacers, although the exact severity of his left hamstring strain is still somewhat unclear, so Isaiah Whitehead and Spencer Dinwiddie could continue to see added minutes beyond Monday.

Lin (hamstring) isn't traveling with the Nets on their two-game road trip, which includes contests Wednesday against the Bulls and Friday against the Wizards, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lin suffered a strained left hamstring Monday against the Hornets, the same injury that forced him to miss 17 games earlier in the season. It's unclear if this latest setback is quite that severe, but the Nets will nonetheless hold Lin out through the weekend to give him some time off to recover back in Brooklyn. It's expected that Isaiah Whitehead will reenter the starting five while Lin is out, but he won't make for an appealing fantasy pickup outside of deeper leagues. Randy Foye and Spencer Dinwiddie could also benefit from added time in coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation.

Lin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Lin suffered a strained hamstring Monday against Charlotte, forcing him out of the game after scoring 17 points in 22 minutes. Initially, the Nets had hoped that Lin would be able to avoid missing time, but that will not be the case, and Brooklyn will now have to find a replacement at point guard. Isaiah Whitehead, who played 16 minutes off the bench Monday, is the most likely candidate to draw the start. Consider Lin questionable for Friday's matchup with the Wizards.

Lin suffered a strained left hamstring during Monday's game against the Hornets and will not return.
EDGE Analysis
Lin was having a very productive night prior to the injury, finishing with 17 points (6-11 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four assists and two steals over 22 minutes. However, after suffering a hamstring injury, he was reevaluated in the locker room, eventually being ruled out for the rest of the contest. It remains to be seen how severe it actually is, but tentatively consider him questionable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls until further information is provided.

Lin compiled 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 11 assists, eight rebounds, two steals and two blocks across 32 minutes in a 117-101 loss to the Warriors on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After a stretch where he missed 18 of the Nets' 19 games, Lin had been eased back into coach Kenny Atkinson's rotation in his first few contests upon returning, but it appears as though he's no longer facing any restrictions. He's reclaimed his starting role at point guard in both of the past two games and surpassed the 30-minute mark for the first time since Oct. 29. With backups Isaiah Whitehead (foot) and Spencer Dinwiddie both lacking distinguished NBA resumes, Lin is a fairly safe bet to hold down a regular 30-plus-minute role so long as he stays healthy. He'll rank as the Nets' top offensive option after center Brook Lopez and should challenge for career-best production in points, assists and three-pointers.

Lin registered 12 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block across 25 minutes during a 116-104 loss to Toronto on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Lin got the start after playing well over the last few games as he's rounded back into form following an extended absence due to a hamstring injury. Isaiah Whitehead (foot), who had been starting, was sidelined for the Nets. Lin didn't do anything extraordinary in the start, but he figures to have a higher ceiling than Whitehead, so we'll see if he holds the spot in the starting lineup if Whitehead returns to the floor Thursday against Golden State.
