Mathews had three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt) and one rebound across 12 minutes during Tuesday's 100-96 loss to the Rockets.
Mathews scored in single-digits for the eighth straight game, continuing to play a limited role off the bench for Atlanta. Although he has been an every-night part of the rotation for the past five weeks, he has been unable to provide a consistent scoring punch. Given his limited skill set, there is no reason to think he will step into a larger role any time soon.
