Matthews poured in 12 points (3-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT) and added two assists, one rebound and two steals across 34 minutes in the Pacers' 122-115 win over the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews extended his streak of double-digit point tallies to five games, but his 33.3 percent shooting represented his worst effort during that span. The 32-year-old has drained 11 buckets from distance over the last three contests, and he's averaging a robust 7.1 three-point attempts per game since joining the Pacers. The 32-year-old should continue logging a solid amount of usage for the balance of the season, considering the scoring vacuum that was created when Victor Oladipo was lost for the season.

Matthews managed 20 points (6-13 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 110-101 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews earned a team high minute total while reaching double figures in scoring for the fourth straight game. He has also scored at least 20 points twice in the last four contests, and seems to be settling in as the team's starting shooting guard. Moreover, Matthews has made 19-of-44 from beyond the arc (43.2 percent) through his first six games with the Pacers.

Matthews produced 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two assists, one rebound, one steal and one block over 30 minutes in the Pacers' loss to the Pistons on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews kept his hot streak going by hitting four more threes in Monday's loss, bringing his total to 12 over his last three games. In that stretch, Matthews is averaging 17.3 points, though his production outside of scoring leaves much to be desired.

Matthews managed eight points (2-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, and three assists in 30 minutes during Monday's 99-90 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews drew the start in his Pacers debut, which is perhaps no surprise based on his strong fit with the starting five and history with coach Nate McMillan. The 32-year-old veteran will mostly be relied on for his defensive effort and perimeter shooting, and he remains a low-end option in standard leagues.

Matthews will start Monday's game against the Hornets, J. Michael of the Indy Star reports.

EDGE Analysis

As expected, Matthews will move into the lineup at shooting guard, which will send Tyreke Evans back to the bench. The expectation is that Matthews will serve as the starter from here on out, as the veteran noted that the opportunity for an expanded role was the driving force in his decision to choose Indiana over other opportunities on the buyout market.

Coach Nate McMillan confirmed Sunday that Matthews would likely serve as a starter for the Pacers in his team debut Monday against the Hornets, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports. "He didn't come here to [sit on the bench]," McMillan said. "He had opportunities and that was part of it -- being a starter. We felt that we could bring him in as a starter."

EDGE Analysis

After failing to find a team willing to take on the remaining salary on Matthews' contract prior Thursday's trade deadline, the Knicks waived the swingman, who quickly agreed to join the Pacers. Since he didn't officially clear waivers until Saturday, Matthews was formally added to the roster Sunday and took part in practice with his new team the same day. McMillan's comments suggest he feels comfortable deploying Matthews in a high-minute role with the top unit right away, meaning Tyreke Evans is set to reprise the bench role he's filled for much of the season. Evans, Cory Joseph, Edmond Sumner and Aaron Holiday are all candidates to notice playing-time reductions on some level now that Matthews is in the fold.

Matthews officially signed with the Pacers on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The two sides agreed in principle shortly after Matthews was bought out by the Knicks, but the signing didn't become official until Sunday morning. Matthews, who's started 44 or 45 games this season for Dallas and New York, practiced with the Pacers on Sunday and figures to be in uniform to make his debut Monday night against Charlotte.

Matthews won't play in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has cleared waivers, but hasn't officially signed with the Pacers. Assuming all goes as planned, he'll have a chance to make his Pacers debut on Monday against the Hornets.

Matthews isn't expected to make his Pacers debut in Saturday's game against the Cavaliers, Scott Agness of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though Matthews has already committed to joining the Pacers, he needs to first clear waivers before he can officially be added to the roster. Because the Knicks waived him at approximately 5 p.m. EST on Thursday and waivers take 48 hours to process, it's unlikely that the Pacers would have enough time to finalize Matthews' contract and clear him to play in a 7 p.m. EST game the same day without him even participating in a team shootaround beforehand. As a result, Tyreke Evans, Cory Joseph and Aaron Holiday should be in store for elevated roles in the backcourt for at least one more game before Matthews likely makes his debut Monday against the Hornets.

Matthews plans to sign with the Pacers after his buyout from the Knicks is completed, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The buyout is expected to be completed sometime Thursday, so Matthews will likely join the Pacers in short order and could be in uniform as soon as Saturday's home matchup against the Cavs. Matthews will provide much-needed shooting and guard depth for the Pacers, who have struggled offensively since losing Victor Oladipo for the season. The veteran could unseat Tyreke Evans in the starting five, but at the very least he figures to serve as the Pacers' sixth or seventh man.
