Injury Report
Ankle - Expected to be ready for 2008-09 training camp (Updated - 5/7/08)
Fantasy Analysis
Alston had missed the first two games of the series with a hamstring injury which was not related. He is expected to be ready in plenty of time for the start of training camp this summer. He started 74 of the Rockets' 81 games this season, averaging 13 points and five assists per game. Alston's numbers have been pretty steady the last two seasons, so to expect anything more than 13.0 points and 5.0 assists a game in 2008-09 could be stretching it. Consider him a No. 3 Fantasy guard on Draft Day 2008-09. (Updated 05/13/2008).
