Matthews finished with 11 points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-6 FT), two blocks, two steals, one board and one assist in 29 minutes of a 103-94 loss to Miami on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was active early, helping his team grab a 28-19 first quarter lead. But Matthews faded along with the rest of the Bucks in the second quarter, and the deficit proved too much to overcome. Matthews' first season back in his home state proved to be a unique one, as the NBA season faced a mid-season postponement followed by a restart. But the Bucks never could recapture their flow in Orlando, leading to an early exit.

Matthews (hip) will not play Thursday against Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
A sore adductor will cost Matthews a second consecutive game as the Bucks close out seeding play. Milwaukee appears to be playing most of its regulars, with the exception of Giannis Antetokounmpo, who will serve his one-game suspension.

Matthews will not play Tuesday against Washington due to a sore right adductor
EDGE Analysis
Matthews saw only two minutes of action in Monday's loss to Toronto, so the adductor issue is something to monitor. The Bucks play one final seeding game Thursday against Memphis before the playoffs begin next week.

Matthews (calf) is not on the Bucks' initial injury report ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Heat.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran was held out of Tuesday's loss to Brooklyn with a sore calf, but all indications are that he'll return to the lineup Thursday as Milwaukee looks to snap a two-game skid.

Matthews is listed as out for Tuesday's game against the Nets due to a sore calf.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews apparently picked up the injury during Sunday night's loss to the Rockets, in which he finished with just three points on 1-of-6 shooting. It's likely nothing serious, however, and the East-leading Bucks have no reason to expect Matthews to play through any level of discomfort.

Matthews finished with nine points (2-11 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Monday's 109-95 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
The Bucks held out seven players for either rest or injury Monday, but two of the oldest members of the roster -- Matthews and Kyle Korver -- weren't among them. Korver (season-high 23 points) was able to take advantage of the multiple absences, but Matthews couldn't capitalize on his elevated usage rate and minutes. He'll likely settle back around 25 minutes and see his role on offense dwindle Thursday, when the Bucks should have most of their key players available for a matchup with the Celtics.

Matthews scored 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), adding on six rebounds and three assists during a game-high 28 minutes in Milwaukee's 133-86 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Extending the Bucks' winning streak to five games, Matthews trailed only Giannis Antetokounmpo (32 points) in scoring for the team. Friday was Matthews' eighth game of the season in which he made four or more threes. He is shooting 37.6 percent from behind the arc this season.

Matthews had just eight points (3-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 31 minutes during Thursday's 112-101 victory over Philadelphia.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews continues to start for the Bucks despite his production heading in a downward trajectory. He is basically on the floor due to the fact they are winning games comfortably and the current lineup is working so well. He is far from the fantasy asset he once was, and based on recent numbers, he is not even a solid option in deeper formats.

Matthews scored 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-9 3Pt) while adding two rebounds, two assists and a block in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 120-108 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old re-discovered his old form from the outside, at least for one night, posting his highest scoring total since Dec. 22 and draining his most three-pointers since Nov. 25. Matthews' low usage in an offense dominated by Giannis and Khris Middleton makes him an erratic fantasy asset -- he'd scored a total of 22 points in his prior four games combined -- but when he heats up, he's still capable of making an impact.

Matthews (illness) is available to play Friday against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran wing was listed as probable due to the illness, so it's no surprise to see he'll be suiting up Friday in Paris. Matthews should take up his usual place in the starting lineup and is averaging 6.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 25.8 minutes over the last five games.
