Wesley Matthews hit just 2-of-10 shots for 11 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in Tuesday's loss. He was 0-for-4 from downtown and is shooting just 35 percent from the floor over his last five games. He's still averaging 15.6 points over that stretch, but his field goal percentage has been a sore spot for his owners. He's simply in a slump and will hopefully break out of it after the All Star break.

Wes Matthews scored 21 points against the Wolves on Saturday with one board, six assists and three 3-pointers in 33 minutes. He was tremendous down the stretch with a couple clutch shots to give the Blazers a little cushion. Matthews' efficiency isn't great over his previous five, shooting 41.7 percent from the field, but he's averaged 17.6 points, 2.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 2.8 triples in 35.8 minutes over that span. There's little reason to be worried about C.J. McCollum taking some of his playing time.

Wesley Matthews hit 6-of-15 shots and three 3-pointers for 18 points, seven rebounds and one assist on Wednesday. He scored just nine points on Monday and eight last Tuesday, but has only scored in single digits in five other games this season. It's possible he could take a bit of a hit with Nicolas Batum looking for his shot again, but Matthews will still be a reliable fantasy option, even if it happens.

Wes Matthews was outstanding late in Saturday's win over the Raptors, scoring 21 points with three assists, one steal and five 3-pointers on 7-of-11 shooting in 34 minutes. He only had two free throws, so his 19 points from the field came on 11 shots. Matthews ranks eighth in the NBA for points per shot and ninth in adjusted field goal percentage, which has made him one of the more deadly wings in the NBA on the offensive side. He won't be slowing down and he's a very durable player, as well. If you have him, enjoy the ride.

Wesley Matthews his just 2-of-9 shots (both 3-pointers) for eight points, three rebounds and five assists in Tuesday's loss. Matthews came in hot and tonight's dud breaks a string of 10 straight games in double figures. The Blazers are playing their worst basketball of the season right now, but will right the ship at some point soon. The fact they rely so heavily upon their starting unit likely means they are all tired, and tonight was no exception. Every starter played at least 35 minutes while the bench contributed for a grand total of just six points. The Blazers are one of the few teams to avoid the injury bug this season, but that could change if Terry Stotts doesn't find a way to take it a little easier on his starting unit in preparation for a strong finish and a solid run through the playoffs. Speaking of Stotts, he won't be coaching the All-Star Team this year, as OKC's Scott Brooks locked up the honor with Portland's loss tonight.

Damian Lillard scored 16 points on Sunday, while Wesley Matthews scored a team-high 21 points, but the Blazers' starting backcourt combined to shoot 10-of-30 from the field in a road loss. This doesn't have lasting implications for either player. The Blazers and Warriors rank first and second in the NBA in 3-pointers made, respectively, but the teams were lopsided from beyond the arc on Sunday -- Golden State made 10 threes on 40 percent shooting, while Portland hit six on 28.6 percent shooting.

Wesley Matthews shot 8-of-15 from the field for 24 points against the Nuggets on Thursday with one board, four assists, one steal and two 3-pointers. The Blazers went to him early and often as Wes took advantage of his matchup with Nate Robinson. Matthews worked more from two-point range tonight, which is not really his game. Of his 12.1 shots per game on the season, 5.1 of those are of the catch-and-shoot 3-pointer variety -- making a pristine 45.4 percent of those. He's in the middle of a breakout season as Portland's number three scorer.

Wesley Matthews had 21 points, four rebounds, four assists, a steal and four more 3-pointers on 7-of-15 shooting in Tuesday's loss. Matthews is cruising right now and has hit 17 3-pointers over his last five games, good for 3.4 per. He's also averaging 17.6 points during that stretch on 47 percent shooting, and has hit a 3-pointer in eight straight games.

Wesley Matthews scored 24 points on scorching 9-of-14 shooting, including 6-of-7 from downtown, to help the Blazers defeat the Spurs on Friday. Matthews ranks seventh in the NBA with 2.6 three-pointers per game, and the guys ahead of him are all deadly marksmen -- Kyle Korver, Jose Calderon, Klay Thompson, Ryan Anderson, Stephen Curry and teammate Damian Lilllard (who leads the league with 3.3 per game). The win moved Portland just half a game behind the Spurs for the best record in the West, and it kept them a full game ahead of their Northwest rivals in Oklahoma City.

Wes Matthews scored 18 points during Saturday's 112-104 win over the Celtics to go with five boards, three assists and two 3-pointers in 34 minutes. As expected, C.J. McCollum's arrival has not hurt Wes' playing time. Matthews is seventh in the NBA in effective field goal percentage thanks to some sterling shooting numbers from beyond the arc. Teams are still leaving him open on catch-and-shoot treys and there's no reason to think he can't keep this up. It's worth mentioning at least one more time he wasn't on the NBA official All-Star ballot.
