Wesley Matthews Fantasy Stats

Atlanta Hawks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (illness) is a question mark ahead of Thursday's matchup against the Suns. The veteran sniper is feeling under the weather and might not be able to play. With the team battling the injury bug, Matthews has started a couple of games lately, and Jalen Johnson's (ankle) injury has made him a candidate to move into the first unit again on Thursday. Garrison Mathews and Vit Krejci should take care of most of Matthews' minutes if he can't play on Thursday. They are not recommended fantasy targets.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Wesley Matthews (calf) is listed as questionable for Saturday's encounter with the Heat. The 37-year-old has yet to play this season but could be ready to make his team debut on Saturday. Matthews has been kept out of the lineup by a calf strain. The Hawks are off to a good start to the year, and it won't be easy for Matthews to break into the rotation, so his availability likely won't change much in fantasy hoops. The 15-year-veteran averaged 15.8 minutes with the Bucks last season, posting 3.4 points and 2.2 rebounds.

Atlanta Hawks shooting guard Wesley Matthews (calf) will remain on the shelf for Thursday's matchup against Orlando. The veteran sniper has yet to feature this season due to a right calf strain. Last season, Matthews played with the Bucks, averaging close to 16 minutes per game, but his shooting was off all year, and he didn't really do anything for fantasy managers. At 37 years old, Matthews is on his last legs and likely won't have a big part to play for the Hawks either when he's eventually healthy enough to play.

Atlanta Hawks guard Wesley Matthews (calf) underwent an MRI on Wednesday that revealed a mild right calf strain. The team announced that he would be re-evaluated in two weeks and then his status would be updated. Since Matthews just joined the team this past offseason, he won't affect the rotation all that much. Once he returns, the question will be whose minutes he takes if he gets playing time early on. As of right now, he's not on the fantasy radar.

Milwaukee Bucks guard Wesley Matthews (calf) has already been ruled out of his second consecutive game due to a right calf strain. The veteran guard is normally an important piece to their defensive unit off of the bench but hasn't been able to play since Game 2. In Game 3, the Bucks gave up 121 points as both Matthew and Giannis Antetokounmpo (back) missed the contest. His next chance to play will come Wednesday in Game 5.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (calf) has been ruled out Wednesday against the Miami Heat. Matthews is dealing with a calf strain which he likely picked up in Game One on Sunday. Matthews played 18 minutes on Sunday, recording just six points and three rebounds. With Matthews sidelined, Joe Ingles and Jae Crowder should see some extra minutes off the bench.

Milwaukee Bucks small forward Wesley Matthews landed in the league's health and safety protocols Wednesday, ruling him out for at least the contest vs. Sacramento. Matthews has shifted to a full-time bench role this season and has scuffled mightily from the field, shooting just 30.5 percent overall and 29.8 percent from deep. His absence on the wing won't make a discernible difference in the Bucks' rotation, but Pat Connaughton and Jordan Nwora could see some added offensive looks. Once a solid roster addition for his three-point shooting alone, Matthews' is averaging fewer than one made triple per contest this season, leaving him on the outside looking in of all formats.

Milwaukee Bucks guard/forward Wesley Matthews (ankle) has been removed from the injury report and is ready to play in the team's season opener on Thursday against Philadelphia. The veteran sniper missed the preseason with an ankle problem but will now provide the Bucks with a warm body to throw on the court. Matthews doesn't have much fantasy appeal, but he finds himself in an interesting spot ahead of the season opener with Khris Middleton (wrist) and Pat Connaughton (calf) unavailable, which opens up extra minutes for the 36-year-old.

Milwaukee Bucks shooting guard Rodney Hood (Achilles) and small forward Wesley Matthews have been lifted from the injury report ahead of Wednesday's matchup against Houston. Hood missed one game due to an Achilles ailment and has played a limited role among the team's second unit for the past month, having scored in double digits just once. Matthews has been in a similar boat, appearing in just four games before his five-contest absence due to COVID-19. Even with Giannis Antetokounmpo unavailable for the time being, neither Hood nor Matthews boasts enough fantasy upside entering play to merit DFS consideration, although their presence gives Milwaukee ample wing depth.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma (calf), guard Wesley Matthews (Achilles) and center Marc Gasol (hamstring) will all play Tuesday against the Charlotte Hornets. There was some concern these three would miss Tuesday in the second half of a back-to-back, but all three are available to play. Kuzma is the only fantasy relevant player here unless the Lakers were to suffer another injury blow to one of their starters.
