Matt Thomas finished Friday night's tilt with 10 points (3-9 FG, 2-8 3PT, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, and one assist in 27 minutes of action in the Bulls' 122-115 win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Thomas saw a decent amount of court time as the Bulls were shorthanded once again Friday night. The Bulls deep threat guard is currently not a viable option in DFS or season long leagues but his usage was the third best on the Bulls with a rate of 15.4%.
Matt Thomas scored a career-high 22 points (9-17 FG, 3-7 3PT, 4-5 FT) Monday. He also chipped in four rebounds and one assist over a team-high 37 minutes of play.
Fantasy Impact
Thomas took full advantage of his extended run with the depleted Raptors Monday night. The rookie could continue to see increased usage as the seeding round wraps up before spending more time on the bench again once the playoffs start.
Matt Thomas provided 17 points (6-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one rebound and one assist across 15 minutes in Sunday's 127-81 win over the Pacers.
Fantasy Impact
Thomas finished with career-highs in scoring and threes in Sunday's win. With the game well out of hand, Thomas capitalized on the opportunity and was able to log double digit minutes for only the second time in his last five contests. Despite the solid showing, the 25-year old is not the radar in fantasy leagues and should be left on the waiver wire. The Raptors next scheduled game is Tuesday, home against the Bucks.
Matt Thomas is reportedly expected to be sidelined for four weeks after sustaining a fractured finger in the Raptors' game against Atlanta on Saturday. This update provides further context behind Thomas's absence during Toronto's 101-96 victory over Philadelphia on Monday.
Fantasy Impact
Fortunately for Thomas, the fracture occurred on his non-shooting hand so he is still able to get work in and put up some shots, according to head coach Nick Nurse. The sharpshooter has been impressive so far throughout his rookie campaign; he's earned a limited role at just over 11 minutes per game, but he's come just as advertised by converting on 53.8% of his attempts from the land beyond. Overall, the Iowa State product has supplied averages of 4.8 points, 1.2 three-pointers and 1.1 rebounds per-game on 54.1% shooting.
