Back in rotation Sunday Mathews logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 37 minutes during Sunday's 117-105 victory over Orlando.

Impact Matthews moved back into the rotation for the regular season finale, taking advantage of the fact the Hawks were without a number of their starters. Matthews has suited up only three times in the past 21 games, a fact that will likely keep him out of the rotation during the Play-In tournament and beyond.

Takes advantage of playing time Matthews posted 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, two blocks and one assist in 14 minutes in Monday's 132-130 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact Matthews took advantage of a rare uptick in minutes, converting on three three-pointers and eclipsing double figures in a big road win Monday. The 28-year-old saw regular minutes off the bench to start the season, but has largely been phased out of the rotation, as he didn't appear in eight straight games to close February. With Georges Niang (illness) not playing, Matthews answered the call and had a very productive night.

Limited role continues Mathews had three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 100-96 loss to the Rockets.

Impact Mathews scored in single-digits for the eighth straight game, continuing to play a limited role off the bench for Atlanta. Although he has been an every-night part of the rotation for the past five weeks, he has been unable to provide them with a consistent scoring punch. Given his limited skill set, there is no reason to think he will step into a larger role any time soon.

Struggles in defeat Saturday Mathews finished Saturday's 117-94 loss to the Raptors with three points (1-5 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes.

Impact The 28-year-old saw increased run with De'Andre Hunter (illness) sidelined, though Mathews struggled to provide a spark in the loss. The swingman has failed to score in double figures in six consecutive contests, during which he has averaged 3.0 points and 1.8 rebounds across 15.7 minutes per game.

Strong from deep off bench in win Mathews recorded 19 points (6-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes in Tuesday's 122-117 win over Phoenix.

Impact Mathews lit it up from deep to provide a lift off the Atlanta bench Tuesday, leading all bench players in threes made while finishing as one of four Hawks with 15 or more points in a winning effort. Mathews has connected on five or more threes in three contests this year and has now tallied 15 or more points in five outings.
