Fs Trevor Ariza and Marcus Thornton scored 19 and 18 points, respectively, while combining to make 6 of 12 3-pointers Wednesday.

Ariza averaged 12.8 points, 2.4 three-pointers, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.2 blocks, and 1.9 steals in 36 minutes per game through 82 games in 2014-15.

At 29 years old, the 11-year NBA veteran, who is under team control until 2017-18, posted career highs in steals, games played, minutes, free throw percentage, and three-pointers made. While not terribly efficient, Ariza (40% FG, 35% 3Pt, 85% FT), who improved his outside game with Washington, has capitalized in Houston (2.4 three-pointers) with players like Dwight Howard, Terrence Jones, and Josh Smith clogging the lane. After Houston failed to re-sign Chandler Parsons, Ariza was signed to be the starting small forward and should continue to fill a similar role next season.

Ariza cooled off in Game 2 on Thursday, posting just seven points (3-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt), six rebounds, and two steals in 39 minutes.

Ariza was held to single digit points for the first time since Game 5 of the Rockets' series against the Mavericks. His shot volume dipped slightly Thursday, attempting eight shots after averaging 12.3 FGA in the second round and taking 10 shots in Game 1. Ariza's shooting efficiency has been up-and-down in the postseason, but he bolsters his fantasy output with strong rebounding and steals.

Ariza posted 20 points, three rebounds, two assists, and two steals in 34 minutes of action in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals against the Warriors.

Ariza has been remarkable during the postseason so far, and his three-point shot has been a key factor for the Rockets. In spite of his strong performance Tuesday, the Rockets came up empty-handed. Look for him to be aggressive again in Game 2.

Ariza posted 22 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and three steals in 31 minutes of action in Game 5 against the Clippers.

Ariza had arguably his best game of the series Tuesday, and it certainly was a good thing for the Rockets. He's averaging an efficient 16.4 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, and 2.2 steals per game in the series so far. Look for him to continue to play solid minutes as a role player for the Rockets.

Ariza posted 18 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, three assists and three steals in 35 minutes Sunday in a Game 4 loss to the Clippers.

Though the Rockets are down 3-1 in this series, Ariza has improved his performance over their first-round series against the Mavericks. In these four games against the Clippers, Ariza is averaging 15 points, seven rebounds, 2.5 assists and two steals per game.

Ariza scored 15 points (4-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-7 FT) with 13 rebounds, two assists and one steal in 45 minutes during Wednesday's Game 2 victory against the Clippers.

Ariza scored 17 points in Game 1 and backed it up with a solid performance here. He played nearly 10 more minutes than both James Harden and Dwight Howard in this game, showing just how important he is on the wing.

Ariza stuffed the stat sheet in Game 1 against the Clippers, posting 17 points, five rebounds, four assists, three steals, and one block in 38 minutes of action.

Ariza had a solid performance, but it wasn't enough to help the Rockets take the first win of the series at home. He'll need to continue to play well in Game 2 for the Rockets to tie the series up.

Ariza had four points, five rebounds, and an assist in 36 minutes Tuesday against Dallas.

It was a quiet night from Ariza, who was 1-for-9 from the floor and failed to register a steal. Still, Ariza's track record suggests he'll be able to bounce back in Game 3.

Ariza scored 12 points (3-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT) with 11 rebounds, six assists and three steals in 38 minutes Saturday, as the Rockets defeated the Mavericks in Game 1.

Airza has been a reliable three-point shooter all season, hitting 2.4 triples per game, albeit at a lower percentage than he was able to last season. After only getting four double-doubles all season, Ariza's big night was key in the Rockets' victory, especially with Dwight Howard limited by foul trouble.

Ariza scored in double figures for his sixth straight game Tuesday in a win over the Mavericks. He had 19 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT) in addition to six rebounds, six assists and two steals.

Ariza's shooting as been on point lately, shooting a combined 9-for-21 in his past two games from three. He's coming of a March in which he shot 44.7 percent from the field and he averaged 12.2 points, 6.8 rebounds and 3.5 assists.

Ariza (illness) scored four points (1-2 FG, 2-2 FT) to go along with 11 rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes Monday against the Pacers.

Ariza wasn't needed to contribute much offensively Monday, but he was great on the glass and was solid defensively again. Ariza has recorded at least one steal in each of his last eight games and looks safe to deploy as usual.

Ariza (illness) is starting Monday's game at Indiana, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Ariza entered Saturday's contest against the Suns with the illness but still managed to put up a double-double, recording 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), 12 boards, five assists, and two steals in 37 minutes. Expect him to approach, if not surpass, his typical 36 minutes per outing.

Ariza (illness) is questionable for Monday's game at Indiana.

He played through the illness Saturday, posting a double-double with 15 points and 12 rebounds, but the team will wait until closer to tip-off Monday before determining his status. With Terrence Jones out and Josh Smith also questionable, the Rockets could employ a small lineup if Ariza is held out, with Corey Brewer and K.J. McDaniels seeing time at the three.
