Ariza compiled 17 points (5-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 118-106 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Ariza continues to play a big role for the Trail Blazers, who are without their primary ball handler in Damian Lillard (groin). Ariza's scoring has been far from consistent since he joined the franchise; however, he has been a steady source of steals. The playing time is basically assured right now, and he should at least be considered in 12-team formats, especially if you are lacking in defensive production.
