Mavericks' Wesley Matthews: Expected to play Sunday

Matthews (hip) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Spurs, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Matthews' right hip strain has kept him sidelined for the Mavs' last two games, but he was able to practice Saturday, making it likely that he'll be available Sunday. Assuming he's formally cleared to play after the Mavs' morning shootaround, Matthews should slot back in as the starting small forward, which would push Dorian Finney-Smith back to the bench.
