Matthews (COVID-19 protocols) logged 14 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's 128-111 win over the Warriors, finishing with five points (2-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt), one assist, one rebound and one steal.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews was on a playing-time restriction in his first game back following a week-long stay in the NBA's health and safety protocols, but he likely wouldn't have seen much more than the 14 minutes he received Tuesday even if he hadn't missed time beforehand. The 36-year-old is expected to remain a fringe member of head coach Mike Budenholzer's rotation moving forward, and he may see all his minutes go away once Jrue Holiday (illness) is able to play again.

Matthews (COVID-19 protocols) will be available Tuesday but will have his minutes monitored, Jim Owczarski of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews rejoins the action after five games on the sidelines, so the staff will watch the veteran's minutes as he eases back into action. He should see that restriction lifted in the coming games.

Matthews (COVID-19 protocols) isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews has missed the last two games due to the league's health and safety protocols, but he'll be able to suit up Tuesday. However, Khris Middleton (ankle) is probable, so Matthews isn't guaranteed to see the court against Golden State.

Matthews (COVID-19) won't play in Sunday's game against the Rockets.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews will miss his second straight game due to being in health and safety protocols. However, Matthews hadn't played in the previous three games due to Khris Middleton's return, so even if the veteran forward is cleared for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, there is no guarantee he'll play.

Matthews won't play Friday versus the Mavericks after entering the NBA's COVID-19 health and safety protocols.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews hadn't been included in the Bucks' rotation in the previous three games, as the return of Khris Middleton has left no minutes available for the former Marquette standout. After Friday's contest, the Bucks will continue their Texas swing with a game Sunday in Houston, and Matthews could have a tough time clearing the protocol before then.

Matthews has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Kings due to the league's health and safety protocols.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews didn't appear in the last two games, and he'll now be unable to suit up due to the league's COVID-19 protocols. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his absence shouldn't have a significant impact on the Bucks' rotation.

Matthews (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
Matthews will be forced to miss a third consecutive game due to right hamstring soreness. However, the Bucks should get a boost on the wing since Pat Connaughton isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's contest.
