Jeremy Lin: Leads all scorers with 21 points

So far so good in Brooklyn for Lin, who led all scorers on the night and had the hot hand from beyond the arc. The 28-year-old was brought in to provide some badly-needed scoring for what was one of the most offensively-challenged backcourts in the league last season, so he should have a certain amount of free reign to attack the basket in the coming campaign. Furthermore, the Nets current starting five as configured will still be starved for consistent scoring outside of Brook Lopez and Lin, as Bojan Bogdanovic, while certainly having shown tremendous upside last season, has not yet shown the ability to serve as a reliable source of points for an extended stretch. That will leave Lin as one of the focal points of the offensive attack, making him an intriguing value in all fantasy formats heading into the 2016-17 season.
