Nash (back/hamstring) is having difficulties with his nerve issues in his back and legs and coach Byron Scott he will consider using him in a bench role this season, InsideSoCal.com reports.

Analysis:

Nash was always going to be a risky proposition for fantasy owners and with him asking out of Sunday's game with a flare up of the sciatica-like problem he suffered last season, and missing the Lakers' last two practices, there is almost no way any owners can have faith in him for this season. If coach Scott does play Nash in a reserve role, Jeremy Lin would become the starter and have a bump in his fantasy value once he recovers from his mild ankle sprain.
