Wesley Matthews scored 15 points on 6-of-16 shooting (including a three) with seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals in the Blazers' 97-94 loss to the Mavs on Friday. Matthews and his teammates had already been boosted by Nate McMillan's departure, but LaMarcus Aldridge's departure all but guarantees their success going forward. Raymond Felton scored 12 points with four assists, and J.J. Hickson added 13 points with 10 rebounds, two assists, and a steal in the loss. All three guys should be in most starting lineups.

Wesley Matthews scored a season-high 33 points in the Blazers' 102-97 loss to the Jazz, hitting 10-of-12 shots from the field (5-of-6 from deep, 8-of-10 from the line) with one rebound, three assists, and two steals. For those that bought low on Matthews and Raymond Felton (four points, nine rebounds, eight assists) congratulations, even though Felton might be the most hated man in Portland right now. Matthews was the first player to score 33 points on just 12 field goals since Yao Ming did it in 2008.

Wesley Matthews, who shot just 39.9 percent in March, began April with 18 points on 7-of-14 shooting. Matthews hit two 3-pointers and has been playing well enough to start in most leagues, despite the off shooting -- he averaged 13.1 points, 2.1 threes and 1.5 steals in the past month. It appears his recent spate of injuries (Achilles, shoulder, hip) aren't a serious issue.

Wesley Matthews (hip, shoulder, Achilles) stayed hot in the Blazers' 99-93 win over the Hornets on Thursday, scoring 18 points on 7-of-15 shooting (including three treys) with two assists and two blocks in 41 minutes. Matthews is looking to beat out Andre Miller's consecutive games played streak and it's unclear if any of these injuries pose a serious threat to his playing time. What is clear is that he's on fire right now, and has hit 20 of his last 35 shots from deep.

Wesley Matthews is playing through a left hip injury, a sore left shoulder and a sore left Achilles' tendon. Matthews is looking to beat Andre Miller's streak of consecutive games played and doesn't like to make a big deal about his injuries. His play hasn't suffered, as Matthews has been rolling since being re-inserted into the starting lineup. He's hit 17 treys over his last five games and is playing between 34-39 minutes consistently. He should be owned in started in the majority of fantasy formats.

Martell Webster hit 5-of-13 shots and two 3-pointers for 17 points, three rebounds and four steals in Tuesday's loss. Better shooting would be nice, as he's just 23-of-64 over his last five, but he's also averaging 16 points, six boards and 3.4 3-pointers over that stretch. Take the good over the bad with Matthews.

Wesley Matthews kept his foot on the gas with 16 points on Friday against the Lakers, hitting 5-of-14 shots from the field (including four threes) with five rebounds, two assists, and a steal. Matthews was the only Blazers player not named LaMarcus Aldridge to do well tonight, and he should be locked into lineups until he slows down.

Wesley Matthews scored 18 points on 5-of-12 shooting (including four threes) with a season-high nine rebounds, one assist, three steals, and one block in the Blazers' 97-93 win over the Grizzlies on Thursday. Matthews, along with Raymond Felton and his teammates, has found new life under new coach Kaleb Canales. He should be owned in all formats.

Wesley Matthews hit 6-of-13 shots for 21 points, nine rebounds, two steals, a block and five 3-pointers in Tuesday's ugly loss to the Bucks. Jamal Crawford came off the bench and hit just 1-of-8 shots for three points in the loss. Matthews appears to be unchallenged for his starting job, and should be good to go the rest of the way.

Wesley Matthews hit 6-of-11 shots for 18 points and four 3-pointers in Friday's win over the Bulls. Matthews is the new starting SG for the Blazers, meaning he should be back in starting lineups for fantasy owners.
