The Toronto Raptors are reportedly getting one of the top targets on the buyout market.

ESPN reports point guard Jeremy Lin is finalizing a buyout with the Atlanta Hawks to allow him to sign with the Toronto Raptors.

The 30-year-old Lin is averaging 10.7 points per game on 46.6 per cent shooting from the field this season.

The Raptors were looking for a third point guard after trading Delon Wright to the Memphis Grizzlies as part of the deal to acquire Marc Gasol last week.

In 457 career games, Lin is averaging 11.8 points and 4.4 assists on 43.6 per cent shooting
