Rockets' Trevor Ariza (foot) will miss tonight, at least two more games

According to the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen, Houston Rockets forward Trevor Ariza is set to miss Friday and Saturday's games, in addition to Wednesday's game, as he deals with a sprained left foot.

What It Means:

Ariza has already been ruled out for Wednesday's road game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but it appears that he's dealing with some soreness in his foot. The Rockets will remain cautious with the 32-year-old veteran as they hope to be healthy at the end, not the beginning, of the year. In Ariza's absence Luc Mbah a Moute will start with P.J. Tucker getting elevated minutes at the small and power forward spots.

In 35.3 minutes, Ariza has averaged just 5 points and 20.1 FanDuel points per game this season.
