Garrison Mathews scored 15 points (3-3 FG, 3-3 3PT, 6-9 FT) and logged one steal in Monday's 135-119 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Fantasy Impact
Mathews recently signed another 10-day contract with the Pacers and suited up for another game on Monday. He played well in that matchup, leading the bench with 15 points on perfect shooting from the field. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect him to have much value moving forward, however.
The Pacers are signing Garrison Mathews to a hardship exception, according to Michael Scotto of USA Today. The move is part of a roster shuffle that also sees the team convert Jeremiah Robinson-Earl to a standard contract and waive Monte Morris.
Fantasy Impact
Mathews brings a career 38.2 percent three-point shooting mark to Indiana. The sharpshooter could step directly into minutes on the wing for the shorthanded Pacers.
Garrison Mathews had a strong scoring night off the bench for the Atlanta Hawks in their 120-110 win over the Miami Heat on Friday. Mathews scored 18 points on 5-for-8 shooting from the field, including 4-for-7 from three-point range. He also added four free throws, two rebounds, and two assists.
Fantasy Impact
Mathews provided a scoring boost for the Hawks, taking advantage of the increased opportunities with several key players out. While his role and minutes can fluctuate, he's a player to watch in deeper leagues when he's seeing significant playing time.
Garrison Mathews scored 25 points (7-8 FG, 7-8 3PT, 4-5 FT) to go along with two rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block in the Hawks 117-104 win over the Timberwolves.
Fantasy Impact
Matthews knocked down five of his shots from deep in the first half alone. Despite this performance, he remains off the fantasy radar.
The Atlanta Hawks will exercise the team’s $2.23 million option on Garrison Mathews.
Fantasy Impact
Matthews played a career-high 66 games last season with Atlanta, shooting 44 percent from deep which was also a career-high. He'll likely remain in a similar role with the Hawks.
