Jeremy Lin played 26 minutes during Friday's 118-110 win over the Rockets with 11 points, one board, five assists and two 3-pointers.
He had a minor ankle injury and missed shootaround on Thursday, but there's really no reason to think he's not healthy. Lin is playing well and even though he's not handling the ball too much with James Harden as his running mate, the tempo and style of Houston should make him worth starting in all leagues.

Jeremy Lin (ankle) went through shootaround and is expected to play on Friday.
Lin got Thursday's practice off and was uncertain to give it a go, but he'll be fine for Friday's game against the Magic and will be in his usual starting role. The point guard said he's feeling "a lot better" than he did on Thursday.

Jeremy Lin (ankle, hand) sat out practice Thursday but says he'll be able to play Friday against the Magic.
Lin said he rolled his ankle in the first quarter of Wednesday's game. The Rockets are calling Lin and James Harden (ankle) game-time decisions for Friday, but it sounds like they'll both be able to play. Still, we'll list Lin as sidelined for now and call him day-to-day. Owners will want to check back tomorrow after shootaround to see if either player participates.

Jeremy Lin was overshadowed by James Harden in a win over Oklahoma City on Wednesday, scoring 29 points with six rebounds, eight assists, two steals and three 3-pointers in 42 minutes.
He's really turned it up a notch lately, shooting 47.7 percent from the field in his previous 10 games. Lin's value gets a mini bump with Toney Douglas Sacramento bound, but the improved play serves as a bigger reason to be happy with owning him at this point.

X-rays on Jeremy Lin's sore right hand came back negative following Wednesday's loss to the Clippers.
Lin said that his hand "just hurts," but did say that he also thought it was "fine." Negative X-rays are a great sign, but it's possible he undergoes further testing if the hand continues to bother him through the All-Star break. It's something for owners to keep an eye on, but hopefully the rest during the break is enough for him to heal.

Jeremy Lin had 14 points and 10 assists on 3-of-11 shooting in Tuesday's win.
This was just his seventh double-double of the season and he's scored between 12 and 28 points in each of his last five games, averaging 16.6 points, 6.4 assists and 1.8 3-pointers on 49 percent shooting over that stretch. Linsanity may not reside in Houston, but Lin is hot and playing very well.

Jeremy Lin scored 12 points to go with two rebounds, six assists, one steal, two blocks and one 3-pointer in 29 minutes against the Kings on Sunday.
He fouled out and it proved costly as the Kings got hot down the stretch. Lin had a big-time jam on Francisco Garcia and it was nice to see him go 3-of-3 at the rimafter he only had three makes in his two games prior to tonight. Lin should be fine and belongs in all lineups.

Jeremy Lin, who was iffy with a sprained ankle, hit 10-of-16 shots and five 3-pointers for 28 points, nine assists and a steal in Tuesday's easy win over the Warriors.
The Rockets saw eight players score in double figures tonight, set a Toyota Center record with 140 points, a team record with 23 3-pointers made, which also tied the NBA record for 3-pointers made. Lin was a beast tonight, and the team would have hit even more 3-pointers if Carlos Delfino had played through his elbow injury. In addition to Lin, Chandler Parsons, Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris, James Anderson, Toney Douglas, Patrick Beverly and Donatas Motiejunas all connected from downtown tonight. Hopefully you had Lin in your lineup.

Jeremy Lin did take part in shootaround despite his sprained ankle, but his status is unknown for Tuesday's game.
Lin could be headed for a game-time call, but we should get an update on his condition shortly, and his participation in shootaround is a good sign that he could be able to play. If Lin is forced to sit down for a game, look for Toney Douglas to draw the start with James Harden doing more on-ball work.

Jeremy Lin will be a game-time decision on Tuesday after tweaking his ankle during Monday's practice.
The injury "did not appear serious," but owners with weekly lineups are now forced to make a blind decision on Lin. The good news is that Houston plays four times, so he could still have a nice week if he's forced to sit out vs. the Warriors. If he doesn't play, Toney Douglas and Patrick Beverley will pick up extra minutes and James Harden will dominate the ball even more than usual.
