Matthews (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the 76ers, Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was held out of Wednesday's tilt with the Wizards because of a calf injury that he originally suffered in the team's previous game. While he's still working back from the injury, coach Rick Carlisle said he is hopeful Matthews will play Friday, although we likely won't get a final word on his availability until after the team's morning shootaround. A return from Matthews would drop Dorian Finney-Smith into a smaller bench role.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews appeared to injure his right calf right before half time of Monday's game. While it initially looked like Matthews may have re-aggravated the Achilles injury that he suffered two seasons ago, the Mavericks were relieved to discover that the injury looks to be exclusively associated with his right calf.

EDGE Analysis

Matthews was terrible from the field but at least he salvaged the stat line with the boards and steals. He was still able to extend his streak to six games with at least one 3-pointer Matthews has been struggling over the past seven outings and he has been affected by a hip injury.

EDGE Analysis

According to Sneed, the Mavericks are listing Matthews as a probable starter for Sunday following a two-game absence, so as long as he's able to take part in morning shootaround and pregame warmups without incident, he should be back on the top unit and prepared to assume a 30-plus-minute role. Matthews' likely return figures to translate to reduced time for Nerlens Noel (35 minutes in Friday's game against the Grizzlies) and Dorian Finney-Smith (28 minutes).
