Jeremy Lin (ankle) likely to play for Nets on Thursday

Brooklyn Nets guard Jeremy Lin (ankle) is probable to play against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday.

What It Means:

Sunday's ankle sprain looks like it's only going to cost Lin one game. With him back in the rotation, Spencer Dinwiddie and Isaiah Whitehead will be losing minutes. Lin is probably worth owning, but the Nets may take it easy on him to get a look at their younger guards.

Lin has played in only 25 games this season, averaging 13.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.0 minutes per game. He ranks 142nd in the NBA with a 0.2 nERD on the year.
