Lin went for 25 points (7-14 FG, 10-10 FT, 1-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, five assists, five steals and a block in 39 minutes during Monday's win over the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Nicholas Batum (ankle) exited the game and did not return, opening the door for Lin to see a generous allotment of playing time which he took full advantage of. Batum should be considered questionable at best for Wednesday's regular season finale versus Orlando, meaning Lin could be in for another busy night if he is unable to go.

Lin (elbow) will come off the bench in Wednesday's matchup with the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Lin played 40 minutes in the Hornets' previous outing, and was questionable heading into this one. It appears Charlotte has opted to go with a big lineup to matchup with the Knicks by starting Marvin Williams, Cody Zeller, and Frank Kaminsky. Lin will likely see a relatively lighter workload due to the Hornets' big line-up and the large minutes he put up in their previous game.

Lin (elbow) will play in Wednesday's game against the Pacers.

EDGE Analysis

Lin was originally considered probable for Wednesday's game despite playing through his elbow injury on Tuesday and logging 40 minutes. It's unclear if he'll start once again, but he does figure to see a boost in minutes as long as Nicolas Batum (knee) is out.

Lin is considered probable to play Wednesday against the Knicks due to bursitis in his right elbow.

EDGE Analysis

The issue hasn't cost Lin any time, and as of Wednesday afternoon he's on track to play against New York, one night after playing 40 minutes in a loss to the Raptors. Assuming he does play, Lin would likely be battling discomfort in his shooting elbow, so that could affect his value as a daily fantasy commodity.

Lin scored a team-high 21 points (5-11 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 7-8 FT) with seven assists and four rebounds during 40 minutes in Tuesday's 96-90 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

This season has been a series of peaks and valleys for Lin, who has had plenty of "linsanity" type of games to go along with a bunch of duds. Credit Lin's hot hand from outside for his first 20-point game in the past six contests. If you're planning on using Lin the rest of the season, whether it be in standard leagues or DFS, he should see ample playing time and touches.

Lin is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

With Nicolas Batum out with a knee injury, the Hornets are expected to go small, with Lin at shooting guard and Courtney Lee at small forward. Lin saw 27 minutes in Sunday's game against the Cavaliers when Batum left with his injury, so look for him to see extended minutes again on Tuesday.

Lin (back) scored nine points (4-8 FG, 1-1 FT) and added six assists, four rebounds, one steal, and one block across 24 minutes during the Hornets' 100-91 win against the 76ers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Lin returned following a one-game absence with a sore back to post a solid statistical effort against the lowly 76ers. Though coach Steve Clifford has shown he is willing to pair Lin and Walker on the floor together for significant stretches, Lin typically only plays about half the game. Over his last four appearances, he is averaging 10.8 points, 4.3 assists to 2.5 turnovers, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.8 steals in 26 minutes. While the Hornets can clinch a playoff spot with just one more win, home-court advantage in the first round is still very much up in the air. As a result, Lin and the other regulars will likely see sufficient playing time to finish the regular season.

Lin (back) will play Friday night against the 76ers, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin missed Tuesday's win over the 76ers as he was nursing a sore back but after taking part in practice on Thursday it appears he'll be back in the rotation come Friday night. He could see minutes slightly monitored, in which case look for Jorge Gutierrez and Jeremy Lamb too see increased action.

Lin (back) continues to be listed as questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Lin is dealing with lingering back soreness, which already costed him Tuesday's outing versus the 76ers. He's in danger of missing a second straight game Friday, although we'll have to wait till closer to tip off before hearing an official word on his availability. If he's unable to play, Jorge Gutierrez and Jeremy Lamb could pick up some extra minutes in the backcourt behind Kemba Walker.

Lin (back) went through practice Thursday but won't know until Friday whether or not he'll be able to play against the 76ers, Rick Bonnell of the Charlotte Observer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Lin continues to deal with the same soreness in his back that kept him out of Tuesday's matchup with Philadelphia. His participation in practice is a good sign, but the team will wait to see how the back reacts Friday morning before making an official call.
