Matthews (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews sustained a left knee contusion in Saturday's win over the Kings but will be back in action following a one-game absence. He's averaged 4.0 points in 19.0 minutes per contest across his last four appearances.

Matthews (knee) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was forced to exit the Bucks' contest against the Kings early as he suffered a left knee contusion. The 35-year-old missed Milwaukee's most recent game against the Cavaliers as well. Expect Jordan Nwora and Donte DiVincenzo to see increased minutes Friday if Matthews faces any setbacks.

Coach Mike Budenholzer said that Matthews (knee) didn't practice Monday and won't be able to play in Wednesday's contest against the Cavaliers, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews left Saturday's game against the Kings with a left knee contusion, but it remains unclear how much time he will miss. Rodney Hood, Donte DiVincenzo and other guards/wings could be in store for increased minutes for the duration of Matthews' absence.

Matthews suffered a bruised left knee during Saturday's game against the Kings and will not return, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has settled into a comfortable role as a shooter off the bench for Milwaukee, so a potential absence will certainly affect the rotation. On a positive note, the Bucks don't play again until Wednesday, giving Matthews longer-than-usual time to recover. If he sits out Wednesday, more minutes could be in store for Rodney Hood, Donte DiVincenzo and other guards/wings.

Matthews will come off the bench during Monday's contest against the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has started the last six games, but the Bucks will opt to start George Hill and Grayson Allen in the backcourt against the Hawks. As a reserve this season, the veteran is averaging 5.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game.

Matthews produced nine points (3-10 FG, 3-8 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 114-106 loss to the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews dropped in three triples during the loss, a number that GMs should probably view as a high watermark moving forward. Despite still being a marksman of sorts, Matthews is simply too unproductive on most nights to have any real fantasy value. At best, he can be streamed in across deeper formats.

Matthews amassed 12 points (5-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one block over 30 minutes during Friday's 121-109 win over the Nets.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews made his second consecutive start Friday, and he logged his second-highest scoring total of the season in the win. While he could maintain a starting role while Grayson Allen (COVID-19 protocols) is sidelined, he's been an inconsistent fantasy contributor during his time with the Bucks.

Matthews will start Wednesday's game against the Raptors, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Grayson Allen sidelined due to COVID-19 health and safety protocols, Matthews is set to make his first start of the season for the Bucks. Through 11 games, the veteran has averaged 5.6 points and 1.5 rebounds in 16.6 minutes per game.

Matthews recorded 11 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes during Thursday's 136-118 victory over the Magic.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews saw 22 minutes off the bench in the win, as he continues to reacclimatize himself to the Bucks' offense. Based on what we have seen from him over the past few years, there is almost no chance Matthews has any fantasy value outside of the deepest formats. However, his presence does cut into the playing time for guys like Pat Connaughton and Grayson Allen, also making them non-factors in 12-team leagues.

Matthews (COVID-19 protocols) is available to play Wednesday against Houston, Eric Nehm of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was placed in health and safety protocols back on Dec. 11, which made him miss the past five games. It's reported that the veteran is no longer on the injury report, thus making him available for the Bucks on Wednesday. Matthews is currently posting 2.5 points and 1.3 rebounds across four appearances with the Bucks.
