1.) Can Wesley Matthews Keep it Up?

After starting the season struggling from the field, fans around Dallas were worried that Matthews might not ever be the same player post Achilles injury. But now the narrative has changed as Matthews has been on an incredible tear over the last few games.

Two games ago, in the win against the Pelicans, Matthews put up 21 points on 6-for-8 from behind the arc. Against the Spurs on Wednesday night, Matthews continued his groove by recording 26 points and 5-for-11 from behind the arc.

Matthews will get either Kidd-Gilchrist or Batum on the matchup where hopefully Matthews can continue his hot offensive game.
