Fantasy Impact

Garrison Mathews did nearly all his damage from beyond-the-arc in his first 20+ point performance since late January. If you can predict when Mathews will get playing time, and get that many shots up, then by all means play him, but he’s just as likely to score only 3 points like he did in the Rockets two previous games.

Garrison Mathews (ankle) is available to play in Wednesday's contest against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

As expected, Mathews will play through his sprained ankle that has been bothering him for weeks now. The Rockets have an extensive injury report for the game, so him being active is important for the team and he will likely see a solid role in the rotation.

According to Rockets reporter Adam Spolane, Garrison Mathews (ankle) questionable to play Wednesday against the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

The Rockets have a rather long injury report on Wednesday that includes Garrison Mathews (ankle), Jae’Sean Tate (ankle), Dennis Schröder (ankle) and Christian Wood (illness) are questionable for tomorrow night’s game against the Lakers. If any of these guys miss, Josh Christopher and Alperen Sengun would see extended minutes.

According to the NBA Injury Report, Garrison Mathews is listed as questionable to play Tuesday with an ankle injury.

Fantasy Impact

Mathews comes into Tuesday's matchup with the Clippers listed as questionable with an ankle injury. The veteran guard has come off the bench in his previous two starts and will likely do so again if he suits up. If he can't go, David Nwaba and Josh Christopher will see extended run.

Garrison Mathews led the Rockets in scoring on Sunday with 17 points off the bench. He made 5-of-10 shots from the field including 4-of-8 from distance. Mathews added a pair of steals in 26 minutes.

Fantasy Impact

Mathews has scored 30 points over his last two games since the All-Star break, both off the bench. Scoring and three-pointers are the only fantasy attributes for the third-year guard and with limited minutes off the bench that is typically not enough to warrant fantasy consideration.
