Mavericks' Wesley Matthews: Ruled out Wednesday vs. Wizards

Matthews (calf) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup with the Wizards, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Matthews was pulled early from Monday's game against the Raptors because of a calf strain and after testing the injury out during pregame warmups, he's decided to take the night off for additional recovery. While the Mavericks have yet to announce a starter in his place, Dorian Finney-Smith is a candidate to do so, while they could opt to go with a much bigger lineup and insert Nerlens Noel to the starting five and shift everyone else down a position.
