Wesley Matthews

Dallas guard Wesley Matthews edge both Kyle Lowry and C.J. McCollum by cracking double digits himself and dropping 11 points.

It wasn’t anywhere near the top of the list of participants, but it was a good showing for a guy that’s hoping to be a big help to the Mavericks. After a terrible start to the season, Dallas has somehow found a way to claw back into the conversation.

While finishing sixth overall wasn’t what Matthews would’ve wanted, it’s important to remember that this was just for fun.
