Lin tallied eight points (2-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists, three rebounds and one blocked shot across 18 minutes in Tuesday's 115-107 win over the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Lin was ice-cold in Tuesday's matchup, shooting only 22.2 percent from the floor. The early trend sets Lin up as the starter opposite D'Angelo Russell in the backcourt, with both players shifting between the 1 and two slots, While Lin will still have some fantasy value, Russell seems poised to be the Nets' go-to offensive weapon, with Lin potentially sharing more time with Allen Crabbe off the bench. It's still too early to see how the former Harvard standout will be utilized, but he only warrants late-round consideration in most fantasy formats.

Lin will be rested for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Despite Lin putting up some excellent performances over the last month of the season, he will be rested for the team's season finale along with fellow veterans Trevor Booker and Brook Lopez. In his absence, look for Isaiah Whitehead and Spencer Dinwiddie to split the time at point guard, with the playing time likely being fairly even regardless of who starts.

Lin scored 26 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 16-17 FT) with 12 rebounds, four assists and one block across 34 minutes in Monday's 114-105 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
Lin recorded season-highs in free throws made and rebounds to secure his third double-double of the year and his first in almost three-and-a-half months. The Harvard product led the Nets in both scoring and rebounds, but his efforts weren't enough to fight back a Celtics team that's still fighting for playoff positioning. Lin will look to keep up his high level of play when the Nets close out their season Wednesday against the Bulls.

Lin scored 32 points (11-20 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 5-6 FT) and added five rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 loss to the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
Lin missed almost two months with a hamstring injury, and it took him a few games to return to form after returning. Since early March, however, he has been a strong fantasy producer, and his numbers have improved since he missed a game with an ankle injury on March 21. He's providing value in points, rebounds, assists, steals, and threes, though his field goal percentage remains very low.

Lin scored 16 points (6-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT) while adding seven assists, five rebounds and two steals in 23 minutes during Tuesday's 141-118 rout of the 76ers.
EDGE Analysis
He was well on pace for his first triple-double in over three years, but with the Nets coasting to an easy victory, Lin and the rest of the starters hit the showers early. The 28-year-old has now scored in double digits in seven of the last eight games, averaging 13.8 points, 6.0 assists, 4.3 boards, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers over that stretch.

Lin finished with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six assists and six rebounds across 31 minutes during Sunday's 91-82 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Lin will likely continue seeing around 30 minutes per game from here on out. He averages a solid 13.6 points and 5.1 assists per game on the season, making him a potential pick up in a variety of fantasy formats if he's available. Though he didn't rack up any steals Sunday, he had been averaging 2.3 over the past four games, demonstrating his defensive potential.

Lin recorded 19 points (7-15 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists, four rebounds, two steals, and one block in 28 minutes during Sunday's 107-92 win over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Lin continues to reward those who have been patient enough to hold onto him during an injury-plagued campaign, as he is having a solid month of March. He has appeared in as many games this month (14) as he did during the rest of 2016-17 combined, and Lin seems like a safe bet to keep seeing decent minutes during the final nine outings as long as he can stay healthy.

Lin (ankle) started at point guard and scored 13 points (3-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT) while adding five assists and three rebounds in 21 minutes during Thursday's 126-98 win against the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
After missing a game with a sprained ankle, Lin was productive in his return. There was no announcement that his minutes would be limited, and he also saw only 21 minutes in his last fully healthy game. Since the Nets were up big the entire second half, it's hard to know whether his minutes were limited due to caution, circumstance, or this is simply the role he should expect to see going forward. In the eight games before the ankle injury, Lin averaged 25.3 minutes per night.

Lin (ankle) will be available Thursday against the Suns, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
A sprained right ankle kept Lin out of action Tuesday against Detroit, but he was able to go through morning shootaround and will be available for Thursday's matchup between a pair of bottom-five teams. Expect Lin to get the start at point guard, likely pushing Spencer Dinwiddie back to the bench. Lin is shooting only 42.4 percent from the field in March, but he's converted more than 40 percent of his threes, while averaging 14.5 points and 4.1 assists per game.

Lin (ankle) is officially listed as probable for Thursday's game against the Suns, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Earlier Wednesday, coach Kenny Atkinson said he was hopeful for Lin to return on Thursday and that appears to be coming to fruition, as Lin has been upgraded to probable after missing Tuesday's matchup with the Pistons. A final word on his availability likely won't come until after the team's morning shootaround on Thursday, but as it currently stands, Lin should be back in the rotation. Lin's return would mean decreased roles for the likes of Spencer Dinwiddie, Isaiah Whitehead and Archie Goodwin, but it remains to be seen if he'll re-enter the starting five.
