NEW YORK – Jeremy Lin will visit the Houston Rockets today, two people with knowledge of the plans said, and the New York Knicks restricted free agent is expected to get a contract offer.

The Rockets waived Lin in December and he was claimed by the Knicks, turning into a breakout star when he landed the starting point guard job. Now with Goran Dragic not expected to return, Houston may want Lin back.

One of the people told The Associated Press on Tuesday the Rockets are planning to make Lin a multiyear offer, although the Knicks can match it and have said they intend to keep him. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the negotiations were to remain private.
