Jeremy Lin came off the bench on Thursday and had 16 points, one rebound, three assists, three steals, two blocks and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes. He had a solid game tonight and appeared comfortable serving as the sixth man. The Rockets used him at both guard spots, and it's not the end of the world that he's coming off the bench. They run a fast enough tempo to keep Lin relevant in all fantasy leagues.

Jeremy Lin started against the Blazers on Tuesday, scoring 12 points with two boards, four assists, two steals and one 3-pointer in 29 minutes. This might be his last time he gets a start now that Patrick Beverley is back in the lineup. Lin was a human turnstile against Chris Paul on Monday and Damian Lillard got by him fairly easily tonight, too. He has still been able to muster up enough value this season and is worth owning in all leagues for now.

Jeremy Lin started at point guard again and had 20 points, three rebounds, four assists, a steal, a block and a 3-pointer on 7-of-13 shooting Saturday. Patrick Beverley is out with a rib injury and Lin is enjoying the spotlight. He should continue to play well for the next 10 days or so, but once Beverley is healthy, Lin should go back to being nothing more than a mediocre back up fantasy point guard. If you own him, keep playing him until Beverley is back on the court.

Jeremy Lin played 30 minutes in a start at point guard on Friday, finishing with 14 points, three boards, four assists, three steals and six turnovers. Aaron Brooks still saw 23 minutes off the bench, so Lin really didn't see an increased opportunity with Patrick Beverley (ribs) out. He should still have better nights in the next 10-14 days, but might have a tough time keeping Beverley at bay upon the second-year guard's return.

Jeremy Lin came off the bench for 16 points, two assists and two 3-pointers on 5-of-7 shooting in 29 minutes. Starter Patrick Beverley left early with a rib injury, which will require X-rays. If his ribs are broken, or he needs to miss time because their bruised, Lin's fantasy value would increase quickly, for as long as Beverley is out.

Jeremy Lin will not be in the Rockets' starting lineup for Wednesday's season opener, according to teammate Chandler Parsons. Lin has been in a battle for the Rockets' starting point guard gig with Patrick Beverley and it would appear as if that is a battle that Lin has lost for now. Coach Kevin McHale has said he'll be tinkering with lineups throughout November and December, but this is a definite blow to Linsanity's fantasy value.

Kevin McHale will not commit to a starting PG for opening night, telling reporters, "I have to submit my starting lineup around 5:45 on Wednesday. Things can always change." McHale's coy refusal to name a starter doesn't obscure the position-battle brewing at PG between Jeremy Lin and Patrick Beverley. Last week he said the Rockets would "be trying different lineups in November and December," and anyone drafting a Houston PG should buckle up until McHale settles on a rotation.

Kevin McHale said that the Rockets have "two starting point guards" in Jeremy Lin and Patrick Beverley, and he may not settle on an every-day starter in the near future. The starting PF position is also up for grabs. "In all honesty, we well be trying different lineups in November and December," said McHale. "We have so many movable parts on this team, and we still have a lot of decisions to make." Anyone drafting Lin or Beverley should be prepared for a tumultuous start to the season while McHale sorts out his preferred lineups.

Jeremy Lin (illness) will not play against the Magic on Wednesday. He is going home to get some rest and might be another causality of all the overseas games this preseason. Lin's absence allows Patrick Beverley to get another start tonight, which has made this an interesting position battle. He is still expected to be the starter on opening night.

Jeremy Lin thrilled his fans in Taiwan during an exhibition game on Saturday, using an electric first-half performance to finish with 17 points, four assists and three steals. He drained a 3-pointer to start the game, made sharp passes, took a steal for a coast-to-coast bucket, and even swatted one of Danny Granger's shots out of bounds. The effort wasn't lost on Kevin McHale. "I think he's really comfortable with who he is," McHale said. "He's lost weight. He's quicker. He played well again tonight, but he's played well in practice."
