EDGE Analysis

Matthews won't play Monday against Chicago due to a right thigh contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews has been lingering with a thigh injury over the past couple of weeks, ultimately missing the Dec. 21 contest against New York. With the veteran guard out Monday, the Bucks could elect to start Sterling Brown at the shooting-guard position or continue with Donte DiVencenzo, who has started the past eight games.

Matthews had zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes during Friday's 112-86 victory over the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was a disaster Friday, failing to score despite the game being a blowout. He is just not that good at this point and his days as a starter could be numbered. Donte DiVincenzo would be the obvious candidate to move into the starting lineup based on what he has been doing as a fill-in for Eric Bledsoe (leg). Matthews' days of being a fantasy asset are well and truly behind him and there is no reason to think that changes moving forward.

Matthews chipped in 19 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two steals, one rebound, one assist and one block in 28 minutes during Sunday's 117-89 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews returned to the lineup following a one-game absence with a bruised thigh and matched his season high in scoring. He has been a solid addition for Milwaukee thanks to his ability to defend several positions and make shots from beyond the arc, but the 33-year-old veteran is only a viable option in deeper leagues.

Matthews (thigh) was ruled out for Saturday's game versus the Knicks, Ted Davis of the Bucks Radio Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was considered doubtful for Friday's contest, so it's no real surprise he won't be suiting up. George Hill or Sterling Brown could make their way into the starting five in his absence.

Matthews is doubtful for Saturday's game against the Knicks due to a right thigh contusion.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews logged 31 minutes and scored 13 points Thursday night against the Lakers, but he came away with a thigh injury. Expect the Bucks to give him Saturday to rest, likely opening the door for Sterling Brown or Donte DiVincenzo to start at shooting guard.

Matthews posted eight points (3-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, a rebound and a steal in Wednesday's 127-103 win over the Pistons.
EDGE Analysis
The 33-year-old began the game sluggishly by missing his first three shots, all from behind the arc. Matthews instead opted to score close to the basket, which he would succeed in doing by converting all his other field-goal attempts in the paint. The veteran guard is averaging less than 10 points (8.3) in his first season in Milwaukee, but that can be forgiven considering he's playing alongside All-Star forward Khris Middleton and reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
