Matthews (Achilles) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game at Oklahoma City, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old will be sidelined for the third consecutive game before being reevaluated Thursday. Alex Caruso should continue to have an increased role off the bench while Matthews is sidelined.

Matthews (Achilles) is out for Tuesday's game against the Rockets, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews will miss his second straight matchup due to injury. Kentavaious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) is probable and should continue to eat up Matthews' minutes for the time being.

Matthews will not play in Sunday's game against the Rockets due to a sore right Achilles, Mike Trudell of Spectrum Sportsnet reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews played a season-high 34 minutes in Friday's win over the Bulls, and he'll sit out Sunday on what's likely a precautionary basis. With Kentavious Caldwell-Pope set to return from an ankle injury, he'll slide back into the starting lineup at shooting guard.

Matthews scored 14 points (4-8 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT) in Friday's win over Chicago.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was chosen over Kyle Kuzma to enter the starting lineup with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (ankle) ruled out a fourth straight game. Matthews ran with the opportunity, sinking four shots from deep en route to 14 points. He doesn't play enough minutes or contribute enough in peripheral categories to warrant rostering in fantasy, but Matthews has shown on a few occasions this season that he can get hot from deep when given the opportunity.

Matthews scored 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt) to go with two steals, one rebound and one assist across 27 minutes in a 108-94 win over Memphis on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The 34-year-old scored in the double digits for the second time this year just two games after a perfect shooting performance from deep in San Antonio. Matthews hasn't been a consistent source of scoring this season, scoring over five points in just one other game this season despite averaging 17.8 minutes per game. The guard's role will likely remain as a deep threat this year should he continue to heat up from deep as the season progresses.

Matthews scored 18 points (6-6 FG, 6-6 3Pt) and grabbed two rebounds in Wednesday's victory over San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews entered the contest having converted only 33.3 percent of his shots and missing all eight of his three-point attempts. The veteran flipped the script in a big way Wednesday, hitting all six of his tries from beyond the arc and more than doubling his cumulative point total from the previous four games. Matthews also logged more than 20 minutes for the first time all season, and it seems likely that his time on the court will coincide with how effectively he is knocking down shots.

Matthews scored two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3PT) to go with a rebound and three assists in 15 minutes of Monday's 115-107 loss to Portland.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews struggles to start the year continued as he posted just two points off the bench on Monday. The veteran is in a specialist role for the Lakers and doesn't have much value in fantasy leagues this season.

Matthews is not expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Clippers, but he will be available in case of emergency, Dave McMenamin of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran will get the night off after making his Lakers debut in Friday's preseason opener.

Matthews signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Lakers on Friday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews goes from the title-contending Bucks to the title-winning Lakers with this move. The veteran is a strong candidate to start on the wing for the Lakers, though it's possible he comes off the bench in a sixth-man role. With Milwaukee last season, he averaged 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 threes and 1.4 assists in 24.4 minutes. We can likely expect similar numbers in 2020-21.

Matthews will decline his player option for the 2020-21 season, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The decision will set Matthews up to be an unrestricted free agent, and as a cost-efficient, veteran wing, he'll likely have several suitors. Matthews appeared in 67 games for the Bucks last season, averaging a career-low 7.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.6 steals. He shot just 39.6 percent from the field but did convert better than 36 percent of his three-point attempts.
