Lin registered nine points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), two assists and one steal over 15 minutes in Saturday's 112-95 loss to the Warriors.

EDGE Analysis

Lin once again played just 15 minutes in his second game back from a hamstring injury, putting together another efficient effort in his modest time on the court. The seven-year veteran has scored 16 points in his first 30 minutes back on the floor after his lengthy absence, and could return to serving as an above-average source of scoring and assists in particular once he's back to a full allotment of minutes.

Lin (hamstring) posted seven points (2-3 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT) with five assists and two rebounds across 15 minutes in Friday's 129-109 loss against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Lin was back in action after missing the past 26 games due to a strained left hamstring. He is healthy but his minutes were likely limited due to the lopsided score. It appears safe to get him back into the active fantasy lineup in all formats.

Coach Kenny Atkinson confirmed that Lin (hamstring) will start at point guard in Friday's game against the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets indicated several days ago that they anticipated Lin would return for the team's first game after the All-Star break, but it wasn't clear whether or not he would immediately settle back into a starting role following a 26-game absence due to a strained hamstring. However, Atkinson put that mystery to bed at the Nets' morning shootaround, so it looks like Lin could be in store for a normal workload right off the bat. The point guard has been limited to just 12 games this season due to the recurring hamstring injuries, but has been effective when he's taken the court. He's averaging 13.9 points, 5.8 assists, 3.3 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 25.0 minutes per game, and should warrant a pickup in just about every fantasy format now that he's healthy again. Spencer Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead will likely see their playing time tail off now that Lin is available.

Lin (hamstring) will be available for Friday's game against the Nuggets, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Nets were counting on Lin to serve as one of their top complementary scoring options behind Brook Lopez heading into the season, but the point guard has been limited to only 12 games due to multiple setbacks with his left hamstring. The latest occurrence of the injury has sidelined him for the past 26 contests, but after upping his activity in recent weeks and taking part in a full practice Wednesday, it finally appears that he's back to full strength. Coach Kenny Atkinson admitted that he didn't know if he'd immediately return Lin to the starting lineup, but indicated Wednesday that he might be leaning in that direction. "My gut, to be honest, I'd like to start [Lin]. But we're going to get all the information and then make the decision,'' Atkinson said. Even if Lin's return to the starting five doesn't come Friday, it should happen before long, which would result in Spencer Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead sacrificing playing time.

Lin (hamstring) is expected to make his return Feb. 24 against Denver, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

A recurring hamstring issue has kept Lin out of action for all but 12 games this season, and he hasn't played since Dec. 26 against the Hornets. He was nearing a return last month before suffering a setback, but coach Kenny Atkinson said Tuesday that all signs now point toward Lin getting back on the court after the All-Star break. While he could require a few games to get back up to speed, the expectation is that Lin will eventually reclaim a spot in the starting lineup.

Lin re-aggravated his left hamstring during rehab and has been ruled out for another 3-to-5 weeks.

EDGE Analysis

Lin has been unable to shake the hamstring injury from the start of the regular season, as he's managed to just plan in 12 games so far in his first year with the Nets. This latest development will leave him out until at least mid-February and possibly into March, and in his absence, Isaiah Whitehead and Spencer Dinwiddie will continue to split point guard duties for Brooklyn.

Lin (hamstring) will remain out for Saturday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Lin continues to nurse a strained left hamstring, and Saturday will mark his 13th consecutive absence. It's unclear when, exactly, Lin could return to action, but the team appears to be handling his status on a game-to-game basis. His next chance to take the court will come Monday, when the Nets play host to San Antonio.

Lin (hamstring) has been ruled out of Friday's matchup with the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Lin hasn't played since straining his left hamstring on Dec. 26 and remains without a definite timetable for return. He should at this time be considered day-to-day, with his next chance to play being Saturday against the Hornets. Isaiah Whitehead and Spencer Dinwiddie will continue seeing extra minutes while Lin is out.

Lin (hamstring) is fully expected to miss at least a few more games following Thursday's matchup with the Pelicans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports. "It's hard to judge. Hope to come back playing within one, a couple of weeks," said Lin. "But I'm not sure."

EDGE Analysis

In a recent interview with a Chinese cable station, Lin mentioned that his recovery from this most recent hamstring injury is going much faster than his previous one. Lin missed 17 games earlier in the season while recovering from that first strain, but with this most recent setback, his streak is now up to seven games. Lin said that if it were his choice, he'd be playing right now, but in reality, he's looking at missing another one-to-two weeks of action before a potential return. We should hear another update on his status once he's been cleared for practice, but in the meantime, Isaiah Whitehead should continue to run as the Nets' starting point guard.

Lin (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against New Orleans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

A strained left hamstring will keep Lin out of action for the eighth consecutive contest as the Nets look to stop a seven-game skid. Expect Spencer Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead to continue to pick up extra minutes at point guard in Lin's absence, with rookie Caris LeVert also in line for a slight bump in playing time. Lin's next chance to take the floor will come Friday in Toronto, though it seems unlikely the team would bring him back on the second night of a home/road back-to-back set.
