Trevor Ariza, who the Rockets are listing as questionable with a groin strain, will play Monday.

Ariza, who the Rockets are listing as questionable with a groin strain, confirmed that he would play Monday against the Celtics, Calvin Watkins of ESPN.com reports. "I'm good, I'm ready to go," Ariza said Monday morning.

Analysis:

It doesn't appear the injury will result in Ariza seeing limited minutes Monday, but the swingman's rough start to the season is becoming an annoyance for fantasy owners. Despite playing 35.3 minutes per game, Ariza is averaging only 10.6 points this seaosn, thanks to his struggles from the field (32.1 percent shooting) and the three-point line (30.2 percent shooting). He's still been able to aid owners with his strong production in steals (two per game), but he'll need to step up his poor percentages to justify his draft-day price.
