Questionable against Clippers Mathews is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers due to a left ankle sprain, Alykhan Bijani of The Athletic reports.
Impact Mathews has come off the bench in each of the last two games, but he's scored in double figures in each of those appearances. If he's unable to suit up against the Clippers, David Nwaba and Josh Christopher should see an uptick in playing time.

Keeps production up off bench Mathews totaled 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 3-4 FT), one rebound, one assist and two steals in 26 minutes during Sunday's 99-98 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Mathews was a very effective shooter in the loss and has put together his best two-game in recent memory. Mathews was vital amid the slew of absences on the roster earlier in the season, but his output has taken an incredible hit since. Kevin Porter's (ankle) absence was the likely cause of this brief improvement.

He maintained consistent playing time and scored in double figures for the first time since Feb. 10. While Mathews has had inconsistent fantasy production recently, he should have ample playing time regardless of his starting status.

That being said, Thursday marked a realistic expectation for Mathews' nightly ceiling. On the season, Mathews is averaging 11.6 points and 3.4 rebounds per game.

Impact Mathews is slowly carving a role as a bench scoring threat for the Rockets and made his presence felt once again, draining five threes and ending as one of the Rockets' main scoring weapons. He has scored in double digits in four of his last five appearances and is shooting an impressive 40.5 percent from deep in that span, so expect Mathews to continue seeing minutes off the bench for Houston.

He may be in line to extend that streak Friday, as the Warriors continue to play without Draymond Green.

Impact Mathews entered Sunday after being held scoreless over 38 minutes across two games prior. Helping guide a Rockets victory, Mathews arose from his slump by putting forth a quintessential offensive performance -- sourcing all of his points from deep or from the free-throw line. The 25-year-old is slashing 40.3/35.8/79.7 in 27 appearances this season.
