JLin vs GSW Background and News:
To get an idea of how JLin has played against GSW in the past. You can find the JLin Articles and Facts Game Threads with box score, highlights and comments from 2013-14 the Rocket vs GSW here in the Archived Games:
Dec 6, 2013 DNP
JLin Did not play Dec 6th he was out with a sprained knee. He was injured Nov 27 2013 vs ATL in the game and only played 4 minutes.
Dec 13, 2013 8pts| 2ast| 4TO
JLin's first game back from the knee injury was Dec 12th 2013 vs POR he played 15 mins. He then played the Dec 13th game vs GSW for 21 mins but was then out the next 4 games ( until Dec 23rd vs Mavs) with a back injury
Feb,20 2014 9pts| 4ast| 5reb| 2TO
Jlin played pretty well in this game. This is the game where a fan yelled out "jeremy you should be starting" and Pbev gave the death stare. This is also that game where Asik had to hold Pbev back from retaliating against fans. (video at game thread link above.) Beautiful acrobatic shot at 1:20 in Blaiyan's video highlights as well.
JLin vs GSW Expectations:
It is a bit difficult to judge how Jlin will perform based on last year's games so we can turn to Basketball Reference the splits for Golden State are:
7 games @189 minutes 46.2fg% | 47.8% 3fg% |ORtg 121 | DRtg 111
average per game 13.3 pts| 4.7ast| 27 mins playing
In the OCT 6th game vs GSW JLin had 14 pts| 4Aast | 4 Reb| 1 TO on 4/4 fg | 1/1 3fg | 5/6 ft... of note JLin's 1 3fg was the ONLY 3fg for the Lakers. As a team they took 11 3fgs! for a whopping 9%!!!
Kobe is a mentor to JLin Says he is challenging jlin to be e great defender. JLin Lin responds :
“He’s definitely taking on a mentorship role for me on the court,” Lin said of Kobe. “That’s something that I don’t think I’ve had in my previous four years in the league. And it’s just nice to have someone who’s pushing me and helping me and teaching me the tricks. It’s also nice that he’s one of the best ever to do it even on the defensive end.”
I expect to see Jlin score more this game and I predict his box score will be13 pts| 6 ast| 27 mins playing *** update sprained ankle- may not play***
Game Discussion
What are your predictions for Jlin and the Lakers? Will Clarkson and the other rookies toss the nerves and make better decisions? Will we see even better foot movement and team defensive strategies from the Lakers?
Caught Lin walking out. He allowed for an “outside chance” he’d play tomorrow, but will see how it feels Sun. morning. It’s definitely sore.— Mike Trudell (@LakersReporter) October 11, 2014

The latest Laker to suffer a minor injury in Byron Scott's first training camp with the team is Jeremy Lin, who sprained his ankle in a scrimmage during Saturday's practice.
"I think Robert Sacre kind of stepped on him when they were playing 5-on-5," said Scott. "Stepped on the ankle and just kind of turned him a little bit that way. So we'll see how (Lin) feels tomorrow."
Lin will be re-evaluated on Sunday morning by the team's training staff,
