What It Means:

This will be Lin's ninth-straight game on the sidelines. He does appear to be making progress toward a return, as there were reports earlier in the week that he looked good in workouts, but that will be put off for at least one more game. Sean Kilpatrick and Isaiah Whitehead will continue to benefit the most from Lin's absence.

Our models have Kilpatrick as the better fantasy option of the two, projecting him for 14 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 29 minutes of action tonight.
