Impact Mathews made made his second start of the 2024-25 regular season against the Nuggets on Wednesday and finished with nine points, five rebounds, three assists and one block over 29 minutes in a 139-120 loss.

In starting lineup Mathews is part of the Hawks' first unit for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews will step into Jalen Johnson's (shoulder) spot in the starting five. Mathews has been red-hot lately, averaging 14.8 points and shooting 48.3 percent from three-point range during his last four outings. He's slated to see somewhere between 25 and 30 minutes Wednesday.

Impact Mathews picked up a few extra minutes with Dyson Daniels (illness) sidelined, and there was some garbage time Sunday as well in the lopsided win. Mathews has been on a heater over the past four games for Atlanta, averaging 14.8 points, 2.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.0 blocks and 3.5 three-pointers in 23.7 minutes per contest.

Pops for 25 points in win Mathews racked up 25 points (7-8 FG, 7-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 26 minutes during Monday's 117-104 win over Minnesota.

Impact Mathews came out of nowhere to score a season-high 25 points, helping the Hawks to an impressive victory. Coming into the win, Mathews had scored a total of 12 points in the previous 12 games, highlighting just how unexpected this performance was. Based on what we have seen to this point, there is no reason to think Mathews can repeat this effort, assuming the Hawks remain relatively injury-free.

Rejoins reserves Mathews will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Warriors, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews nabbed a spot start in Atlanta's last game. However, with Jalen Johnson (lower leg) available, Mathews will shift back to the second unit. In 14 appearances, Mathews is averaging 10.0 points, 1.2 rebounds and 1.8 assists across 21.7 minutes.

Drawing spot start Mathews is starting Monday's game against the Kings, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews is in line for his first start of the 2024-25 campaign after Jalen Johnson (lower leg) was ruled out 15 minutes prior to tipoff. Mathews is averaging 7.2 points, 1.0 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 18.4 minutes in his last five games off the bench, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see him reach the 20-minute threshold Monday.

Struggles in victory Tuesday Mathews finished with two points (0-3 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 23 minutes during Tuesday's 117-116 win over Boston.

Impact Despite logging 23 minutes, Mathews came up short in terms of production, highlighting the fact that his overall appeal is limited to just one category. The Hawks continue to deal with a couple of injuries in their backcourt, affording Mathews some additional playing time. However, once they get healthy bodies back on the floor, Mathews will likely slide down in the rotation.

Tallies season-high 23 points Mathews racked up 23 points (8-15 FG, 7-13 3Pt), one rebound, two assists, one block and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 123-115 loss to Sacramento.

Impact Mathews's scoring punch off the bench wasn't enough for Atlanta to overcome Sacrament on Friday. Still, the 28-year-old guard is scorching the nets from deep to begin the season, converting 51.4 percent of his 7.4 three-point attempts per contest.

Scores 14 points Mathews posted 14 points (4-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, two assists and two steals across 22 minutes during Sunday's 128-104 loss to the Thunder.

Impact After failing to crack the rotation on Opening Night, Mathews has appeared in two games with averages of 11.0 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 3.0 three-pointers. Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and De'Andre Hunter (knee) are both battling injuries, and Mathews has shown that he's capable of stepping up for the Hawks.

Hawks exercise team option The Hawks have exercised the $2.23 million team option for Mathews on Saturday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Mathews had a solid season in his first full year with the Hawks. The 27-year-old averaged 4.9 points, 1.4 rebounds and 0.6 assists across 15.0 minutes in 66 regular-season games. This included an uptick in playing time for the sharpshooter post All-Star break, during which he averaged 6.9 points in 18.5 minutes. Mathews also shot a career-high 44.0 percent from three last season, earning him more recognition as a valuable role player.

Leads bench in scoring Mathews chipped in eight points (2-4 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT) over 13 minutes during Wednesday's 131-116 Play-In Game loss to Chicago.

Impact Since the All-Star break, the 27-year-old averaged 6.9 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.7 assists on 45.8 percent from the field, playing valuable minutes during Trae Young's (finger) absence. With the Hawks looking to test the trade market around Young and possibly Dejounte Murray after a disappointing year, Atlanta will have until June 29 to decide whether they want Mathews back next season, which would fully guarantee his contract.

Hits four threes off bench Saturday Mathews ended Saturday's 132-91 victory over the Hornets with 20 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes.

Impact Mathews was one of two players -- with Bruno Fernando being the other -- who took full advantage of playing extra minutes off the bench. This resulted in Mathews scoring in double digits for the first time this season while also posting a season-best mark in three-pointers made. Mathews will continue to have a limited role off the bench going forward, so there's a strong chance this was an outlier and not a sign of things to come ahead of the final three weeks of the regular season.

Offers little in victory Mathews produced three points (1-1 FG, 1-1 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over nine minutes during Saturday's 122-113 victory over the Rockets.

Impact Mathews managed just three points in nine minutes, continuing what has been a modest season, to say the least. Although he has featured in most games over the past month, he has barely been a top-300 player in nine-category leagues.

Returns to bench Monday Mathews will come off the bench for Monday's game against the Clippers, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews returns to the second unit after picking up a spot start in Saddiq Bey's place during Saturday's win over Golden State. Bey will return from an ankle sprain Monday night. De'Andre Hunter (knee) remains on a minute restriction.

Starting against Warriors Mathews will start against the Warriors on Saturday, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.

Impact Mathews hasn't been in the rotation lately, but he'll get a rare opportunity with Saddiq Bey (ankle) sidelined. Mathews is hitting 45.0 percent from beyond the arc this season and will provide some floor spacing Saturday.

FEBRUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Gets 15 minutes in return Mathews (ankle) played 15 minutes in Saturday's 127-99 loss to the Wizards, finishing with eight points (3-6 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two rebounds and one assit.

Impact Mathews was cleared to return from a sprained left ankle ahead of Friday's game against Indiana, but Atlanta didn't use him off the bench in its 126-108 loss. Instead, Mathews was saved for the second leg of the back-to-back set, and he ended up seeing the third-most minutes off the bench behind Bogdan Bogdanovic and Onyeka Okongwu. Mathews looks poised to remain in the rotation for the time being, though he could lose his spot once De'Andre Hunter (knee) returns to action.
