Trevor Ariza turns in 13 points, 8 boards, 5 dimes, 4 swipes for Suns

Phoenix Suns guard/forward Trevor Ariza scored 13 points (4-of-7 field goals, 3-of-6 3-pointers, 2-of-2 free throws) with 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 4 steals in 37.1 minutes of a 99-89 win over the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday.

What It Means:

The steals match Ariza's season-high that was set earlier this month. Rumors have been swirling about Ariza being traded to a contender. If that happens, the veteran's usage will likely take a hit. The Suns host the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday.

Ariza scored 42.1 FanDuel points in the victory. He's averaging 25.4 FanDuel points through 26 games this season.
