Rafer Alston is set to return to the court on Tuesday night for the Rockets in their pivotal game against the red-hot Cavaliers.

Alston has missed the team's last four games because of a strained left hamstring.

"I wanted to go tonight (Monday), but the big man (Rockets' athletic trainer Keith Jones) said (Tuesday) was better," Alston said. "He just felt one more day of rest would be a good thing for me."
