Wesley Matthews' five three-pointers not enough as Mavericks lose again
Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Wesley Matthews stayed hot on Wednesday, making 8-of-19 FGs and 5-of-6 FTs, with five 3-pointers, to finish with a team-high 26 points, two rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block.
What It Means:
Matthews is starting to get his groove back as he's scored at least 20 points in four of his last eight games. Coincidently he is shooting 48.3% from deep during that stretch, so after over a year of questioning whether Matthews would regain his form pre-Achilles rupture, he may be starting to answer that question.
Matthews is averaging 14.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.2 assists over 36.1 minutes per game this season. He owns a .471 effective field goal percentage (eFG%), but over his last eight games his eFG% has been .580.
