Ariza posted 21 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, and one steal in 29 minutes during the Rockets’ 129-105 win versus the Timberwolves on Monday.

Ariza has made 24-of-36 from the field over the last three games, including 11-of-19 from beyond the arc. Monday was just the eighth time this season that Ariza played fewer than 30 minutes, but it was due to the game being a blowout. The Rockets can clinch a spot in the playoffs with a win on Wednesday against the Kings, so Ariza should be expected to log as many minutes as necessary in the season finale.
