Matthews (hamstring) is expected to take the court Wednesday against Utah, Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews didn't travel with the team for their last matchup in Chicago due to a hamstring issue, but there's a good chance he's cleared to play in time to face the Jazz. Confirmation on his availability for Wednesday's tilt is likely to come prior to tipoff but expect the 32-year-old guard to return to the starting lineup.

Matthews (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bulls, Eddie Sefko of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews is dealing with a left hamstring strain and didn't make the trip to Chicago. The 32-year-old has played north of 30 minutes in every game so far this season, so his absence should provide a bump in playing time for the likes of J.J. Barea or Dorian Finney-Smith. Matthews will continue to be evaluated on a game-to-game basis, with his next chance to play coming Wednesday against the Jazz.

Matthews is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Mavericks with a left hamstring strain.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews has seen over 30 minutes in every game this season, so if he were to miss Monday, he would create a big hole in the Mavericks rotation. His absence could bump J.J. Barea or Dorian Finney-Smith to the starting lineup. If he misses the game, his next opportunity to play would be Wednesday against the Jazz. More information regarding Matthews' status should come prior to Monday's game.

Matthews totaled 22 points (7-14 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), and two rebounds in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 119-100 victory over the Wizards.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews continues to score the ball well for the new-look Mavericks, getting plenty of good looks on his way to 22 points including five triples. He has flourished in the new offense but has struggled to contribute with any substance across any other category. His value is tied to scoring and on nights he is struggling from the floor, that value is likely to dissipate.

Matthews finished with 21 points (8-15 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two steals, one rebound, and one assist in 31 minutes during Wednesday's 114-113 loss to the Lakers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews bounced back after an eight-point dud Monday, connecting on four triples on his way to 21 points. Matthews has had a nice start to the season and appears to be reaping the benefits of having both Luka Doncic and Dennis Smith on the floor at the same time. Matthews could be rostered in standard formats but provides limited production outside of scoring and triples with some steals thrown in.

Matthews provided eight points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three assists and two rebounds across 39 minutes in the Mavericks' 113-108 overtime loss to the Spurs on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews couldn't get much going from the field, leaving him with one of the team's most disappointing stat lines in the overtime loss. The veteran wing had mostly been in vintage form up until the last two games, when he's drained just eight of 27 attempts from the floor, including just two of eight three-point tries. The 32-year-old's scoring total was his lowest of the season, and it also marked his first single-digit tally over the first seven games. He'll look to bounce back against the Lakers on Wednesday in what should be another particularly fast-paced contest.

Matthews scored 22 points (5-17 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 10-12 FT) while adding seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 36 minutes in Sunday's 113-104 loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews did his part in getting to the charity stripe, reaching the line more than the rest of the team combined. Matthews needs to hit more shots from the floor to sustain his point total, but Sunday marked his fourth game over 20 points.

Matthews posted 23 points (9-21 FG, 5-14 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes in Wednesday's 111-104 loss to the Hawks.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was an effective scorer but didn't really have an impact in other categories on Wednesday The ninth-year vet is known as a frequent 3-point threat and he's made good on that claim, putting up an average of 9.7 attempts per game and converting on 34 percent of them across three contests. Although he's now joined by new cast members like DeAndre Jordan and Luka Doncic, Matthews seems to be firmly cemented as one of the starting wings for Dallas once again. He's worth a look in most formats, especially if you are in need of threes in a roto league.

Matthews pitched in 15 points (4-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), five assists, two rebounds and one steal across 34 minutes in the Mavericks' 121-100 loss to the Suns on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews stepped up to lead the first unit in scoring in the absence of Harrison Barnes (hamstring), and his pedestrian 40.0 percent success rate was actually the best among the top offensive trio of himself, Dennis Smith, Jr. and Luka Doncic. The veteran is expected to play an important complementary scoring role once again this season while offering above-average defense, and he'll look to nudge his scoring totals upward after averaging 13.5 points or less in his first three Mavericks seasons.

Matthews racked up nine points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and two steals across 23 minutes in Monday's preseason win against the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews looks to have the starting shooting guard position locked down heading into the 2018-19 season. The veteran has historically been able to provide solid three-and-D value, averaging 2.4 threes and 1.1 steals over his three years with the Mavericks. Matthews' issue as far as fantasy goes is his poor shooting percentage, which has teetered just under 40 percent during that time frame. The added presence of Luka Doncic, another good shooter, may be able to help alleviate some defensive attention and give Matthews more open looks. However, even with an improved field-goal percentage, Matthews doesn't contribute in many categories besides threes and steals, relegating him to a later round addition.
