Trevor Ariza Fantasy Stats

Los Angeles Lakers power forward Trevor Ariza has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Spurs after being placed in the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Ariza has been perfect from the field since making his season debut Sunday, knocking down all five of his field-goal attempts. At 36 years old, Ariza remains a solid contributor for L.A.'s second unit, albeit not one that has yet merited season-long interest. Carmelo Anthony and Isaiah Thomas are likely to snag added shots off the bench for as long as Ariza remains sidelined.

Newly acquired Miami Heat forward Trevor Arizawill be available to play Friday night against the Indiana Pacers. Ariza has not played at all this season because of the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols and was taking up a roster spot on the Oklahoma City Thunder, but he could be in line for some valuable minutes in Miami's rotation immediately. Avery Bradley (calf) remains sidelined, while Andre Iguodala (hip) is in danger of missing the contest. Ariza has been a solid three-and-D player in his entire career, but it remains to be seen if he can still contribute for fantasy managers.

The Detroit Pistons have acquired veteran forward Trevor Ariza and the No. 16 overall pick in the 2020 NBA draft from Houston in exchange for a future first-round selection. Ariza had just been acquired by the Rockets from the Trail Blazers earlier in the week in a deal that sent Robert Covington out west, with the latest deal denying the well-traveled wing a chance at reuniting with a Houston group he played for from 2014-18. Ariza's move to Detroit increases his fantasy prospects for the '20-21 season, as he should see considerable time at the small forward position. Upon joining Portland at the end of last year, he averaged 11 points and 4.8 rebounds across 33.4 minutes per contest, all while shooting 40 percent from long range. The move also frees up Houston to use a mid-level exception in free agency over the coming weeks. Check back to see who Detroit adds with their new draft selection.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Trevor Ariza has decided to sit out during the upcoming NBA restart. He will elect to pass on the restart happening in late July, which will be a big blow to the Blazers. Ariza will instead deal with personal issues, but is expected to be back next season. Rodney Hood (Achilles) is done for the rest of the season as well, so the Blazers are fairly thin in terms of depth. Mario Hezonja and Gary Trent Jr. will be asked to step up with Ariza and Hood done. Trent could have some value as a cheap option in DFS contests.

Portland Trail Blazers small forward Trevor Ariza dropped three treys on the Rockets Wednesday night and finished a 125-112 win over his former team with 21 points. He was in great shooting form all night and went 9-for-14 from the field. Ariza also added four rebounds, two steals and one assist to his line. The veteran forward has now played three games for the Blazers and he's dropped 21 points twice. His scoring average is unsustainable, but Ariza will be playing a lot more minutes in Portland, which will keep his fantasy value up. He'll take on another former team on Friday when the Blazers finish off the month with a matchup against the Lakers.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Trevor Ariza looked excellent in his debut in a Trail Blazers' uniform on Thursday. Ariza notched a season-high 21 points while adding seven boards, two assists and two steals with four makes from three in 36 minutes of action. Ariza was efficient as he nailed seven of 11 shots and had just a single turnover while being a plus-3 in his minutes on the court. If Ariza can keep this up, he may help the Blazers get over the hump and he should be picked up in most formats in fantasy.

Portland Trail Blazers forward Trevor Ariza is likely going to start at small forward for Thursday's game against the Dallas Mavericks, according to head coach Terry Stotts. The trade with the Sacramento Kings was officially finalized on Tuesday, so Ariza is ready to go now. He should have increased fantasy value with Portland instead of having to fight for minutes like he did in Sacramento. Ariza is someone worth looking at in most fantasy formats.

The Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings struck a deal Saturday that saw small/power forward Trevor Ariza sent to Portland, with shooting guard/small Kent Bazemore highlighting the package that went back to Sacramento. While both wings hold marginal fantasy value, Ariza enters the better situation due to Portlands need for three-point shooting. Bazemore will have to carve out a niche with the Kings, who boast a plethora of high-scoring wings. Also on the move is Anthony Tolliver, who will join Bazemore in Sacramento, with Caleb Swanigan and Wenyen Gabriel capping off the return for Portland.

Sacramento Kings small/power forward Trevor Ariza will be held out for Wednesdays contest against the Philadelphia 76ers due to both a sore right groin and personal reasons. Arizas absence will mark his fifth straight game out of the equation for Sacramento and until the team provides an update on his status, owners can safely avoid him in any-sized fantasy format. With the Kings boasting a plethora of frontcourt options, Ariza will likely have to battle for significant minutes once he is cleared to return to action.

Sacramento Kings small/power forward Trevor Ariza has been tagged as questionable for Sundays contest against the Boston Celtics due to a sore right groin. Ariza missed Fridays contest due to the injury and his absence largely saw head coach Luke Walton reallocate his minutes amongst Sacramentos traditional rotation of wings. Despite averaging 21.3 minutes per game off the bench through his first 10 contests, Ariza has scored in double figures just once, making him a difficult fantasy option in any sized format. Check back closer to tip-off to get an update on his status.
