Matthews (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Mavericks radio announcer Chuck Cooperstein reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews has been sidelined each of the last two games due to a sore left hip, but with his participation Thursday and the Mavericks off until Saturday, the veteran should be ready to go against the Grizzlies. Expect Dallas to provide an official update on Matthews' status in the next day or two, but barring any setbacks, he should return to the lineup this weekend.

Matthews (hip) is out for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews will miss a second straight game while recovering from a left hip injury. When he missed the team's most recent game Sunday against the Pelicans, Doug McDermott (34 minutes), Kyle Collinsworth (17 minutes) and Scotty Hopson (eight minutes) saw the most dramatic upticks in workload.

Matthews (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was held out of Sunday's game against the Pacers with a left hip injury, though the fact that he hasn't been ruled out ahead of Tuesday's game is at least encouraging it's nothing overly serious. Look for Matthews to be reevaluated after the team's morning shootaround, after which a final determination on his availability should be released. When Matthews sat out Sunday, it was Yogi Ferrell that started in his place.

Matthews (hip) will not play Sunday against the Pelicans, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews suffered a left hip injury Friday in Chicago, and he'll be sidelined Sunday after initially carrying a questionable designation. With the veteran out, expect J.J. Barea and Yogi Ferrell to pick up increased minutes.

Matthews is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with New Orleans due to a left hip injury.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews apparently picked up in the injury during Friday's loss to the Bulls, in which he played 31 minutes and finished with five points on 2-of-9 shooting (1-5 3PT). Look for a more definitive update at shootaround Sunday morning.

Matthews had just five points (2-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists, two rebounds and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 108-100 loss to the Bulls.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews continues to be ice-cold from the field, going 2-of-9 to finish with just five points. Matthews had recorded double-figures in each of his past nine games, albeit on some poor shooting. He remains a borderline option in standard leagues, although chances are there is someone with more upside floating around on your waiver wire.

Matthews supplied 10 points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 30 minutes in Saturday's 97-90 loss to the Jazz.
EDGE Analysis
Much like teammate Harrison Barnes, Matthews couldn't follow up a 19-point effort Friday with an equally successful performance. The veteran swingman reached double digits in the scoring column for the seventh straight game, but he also shot under 40.0 percent for the second time in the last three contests. Matthews has been a solid source of scoring and three-pointers at times this season, but his inconsistency keeps his value at about mid-tier level in most formats.

Matthews turned in 19 points (7-12 FG, 5-8 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 29 minutes in Friday's 124-102 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews' scoring total was enough to co-lead the Mavericks on the night and represented his sixth straight double-digit scoring effort. He's been thriving in February overall, averaging 16.0 points (on 47.9 percent shooting, including 47.7 percent from distance), 3.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals across 29.8 minutes. The veteran swingman's contributions outside of the scoring category are modest, but he certainly retains solid value across all formats.

Matthews collected 13 points (4-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 114-109 loss to the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews missed just one game due to a back concern, returning to the starting lineup for the matchup with the Kings. He saw a fairly standard workload, producing a fairly standard fantasy line. He is a streaky shooter and really holds value as just a streaming option in standard leagues.

Matthews (back) will play Tuesday against the Kings, Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News reports.>
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was held out of Sunday's loss to the Rockets due to back in his lower-back, but the expectation all along was that he'd return to action Tuesday. Expect Matthews to move back into the starting five, likely pushing one of Yogi Ferrell or Doug McDermott back to the bench.
