Headlines

Alston gives up his starting job: The New York Daily News reports that the Nets have decided to re-insert Devin Harris into the starting lineup. Coach Lawrence Frank said that Rafer Alston -- who had been starting in Harris' place -- told him to make the change. "I thought it would be better for Devin to get back in the starting lineup, maybe get him back into a rhythm," said Alston.

Fantasy Analysis

Harris has averaged just 12.3 points in his three games since returning from a 10-game absence due to a hamstring injury. This move should allow him to get back into a rhythm and will hopefully return him to his status as an elite guard in Fantasy. Alston may have grown increasingly tired. With the Nets ravaged by injuries for the better part of the first month of the season, Alston has been forced to log heavy minutes. It has affected his production of late, but a return to the bench may hurt his production a lot more.
