Garrison Mathews

Garrison Mathews (illness) will make his return for Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Matthews has been sidelined for close to a week while battling a non-covid illness, and he is finally well enough to make his return to the court. The team will likely monitor his conditioning, and his presence doesn't project to have any fantasy implications for relevant Houston players.

Garrison Mathews (illness) is questionable to play in Friday's game against the Dallas Mavericks.

Fantasy Impact

Matthews has missed three-straight games due to a non-covid illness of some kind, and that could turn into four on Friday. He's questionable to play, and he seems to have a true 50/50 shot of being active. He hasn't been a big part of Houston's rotation this year, and his absence wouldn't have a big impact on the Rockets' rotation.

Garrison Mathews has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Matthews will miss his third straight game. His absence does not impact the Rockets rotation or fantasy managers.

Garrison Mathews has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

Matthews will miss his second straight game. He was not a huge part of the Rockets rotation, so his absence won't mean too much for fantasy managers.

Garrison Mathews recorded 20 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 3P, 9-9 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two steals and one turnover across 23 minutes in Sunday's 128-122 loss to the Hawks.

Fantasy Impact

With Eric Gordon out of the lineup Friday, Mathews recorded a season-high 20 points. His 23 minutes were also a season-high as the Lipscomb product shot the ball efficiently on all three levels. The 26-year-old will need to see more consistent minutes and productive before he can be fantasy relevant. The Rockets play the Thunder in Houston on Saturday.
