Finney-Smith (ankle) has been listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Finney-Smith won't face his former team due to left ankle soreness, which has been a lingering issue for the 31-year-old of late. The veteran forward will join LeBron James (groin) on the sideline, meaning Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht will likely see a bump in minutes.

Since being acquired from the Nets on Dec. 29, Finney-Smith is averaging 7.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.3 minutes per game over 18 appearances.

Finney-Smith is at risk of sitting out Tuesday due to a right shoulder contusion, and the Lakers will likely wait until closer to tipoff to update his status.

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is available to play Saturday against the Knicks, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.

Finney-Smith (shoulder) is now listed as probable for Saturday's game versus the Knicks.

After making two straight starts, Finney-Smith reverted to a reserve role against the 76ers on Tuesday due to the return of Rui Hachimura (calf). However, Anthony Davis (core) suffered an injury during that contest and will miss at least a week. Finney-Smith started the second half of Tuesday's loss and will likely see increased run during Davis' absence. However, Finney-Smith has averaged only 6.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 0.8 assists in 23.2 minutes per game across 12 appearances (two starts) for the Lakers thus far.

Finney-Smith will come off the bench in Tuesday's game against the 76ers, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports.

Finney-Smith will get the start in Saturday's game against the Warriors, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Finney-Smith amassed 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-6 3Pt) and two rebounds over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 111-88 win over the Wizards.

Finney-Smith delivered his best stat line since making his Lakers debut on Dec. 31, and he seems to be getting more comfortable on offense after scoring in double digits in three of his last five outings. That said, fantasy managers who enjoyed Finney-Smith's two-way ability in the first half of the season might feel disappointed with the numbers he's posted since the trade. He's averaging 7.1 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game in eight appearances with the Lakers while coming off the bench, something that shouldn't change in the foreseeable future. The bench role certainly limits his upside in all formats moving forward.

Coach JJ Redick announced Tuesday that Finney-Smith will have his minutes restriction moved up to 24 minutes and hopes to eventually get the veteran forward up to around 29 minutes per contest, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.

Finney-Smith was on a minutes restriction due to a lingering ankle injury but continues to ramp up toward a full workload. Before being traded to the Lakers, Finney-Smith was averaging 29.0 minutes per contest across 20 appearances for Brooklyn.

Finney-Smith (perosnal) will not play Wednesday against the Heat, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Finney-Smith is expected to miss Wednesday's contest to welcome his new baby boy, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.

Finney-Smith (personal) has been listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Heat, Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Finney-Smith has only played in six games for the Lakers since being traded to Los Angeles by the Nets. The defensive-minded forward appears to be on track to miss Wednesday's game against Miami after playing only 20 minutes off the bench in Monday's blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs, finishing with four points, three rebounds and two steals.

Finney-Smith provided three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.

Finney-Smith has yet to make an impact since being traded to the Lakers. The defensive-minded forward has only hit two shots with Los Angeles, going 2-for-10 from the field in the two games he's played for his new squad. It's not uncommon for a player to struggle after being traded, but he'll have to turn it around quickly if JJ Redick is going to depend on him for a boost off the bench on both ends of the floor.

Finney-Smith will start his stint with the Lakers against the Cavaliers on Tuesday. The veteran forward will come off the bench but likely play starter minutes and potentially be a game-changer for Los Angeles defensively.

Finney-Smith will start his new stint with the Lakers coming off the bench, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.

Finney-Smith should give the Lakers a much-needed boost off the bench, especially regarding the defensive side of the floor. The veteran forward can also help stretch the floor with his outside shooting, which is also sorely needed in Los Angeles.

The Nets traded Finney-Smith and Shake Milton to the Lakers for D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks Sunday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Finney-Smith has been in the center of trade rumors throughout the season, and he will join the Lakers after he averaged 10.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 29.0 minutes per contest over 20 regular-season outings with Brooklyn. The 31-year-old is a solid veteran 3-and-D player, and throughout his nine-year career he has shot 35.9 percent from beyond the arc. Finney-Smith should bolster the club's frontcourt, and he will likely compete with Rui Hachimura for the starting job alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Finney-Smith (calf) finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and nine rebounds over 27 minutes in Friday's 96-87 loss to the Spurs.

The Nets were down seven players Friday due to either injury or rest, but Finney-Smith's return from a three-game absence at least helped fill some of the vacated minutes. Finney-Smith wasn't particularly effective during his time on the court, however, and he handled a meager 13.4 percent usage rate while the Keon Johnson and Shake Milton stepped in as the primary hubs on offense in the absences of Ben Simmons (back), Cameron Johnson (hip) and Cam Thomas (hamstring). All three of those players could be back for Sunday's game against the Magic, but Finney-Smith's playing time shouldn't be too affected, as he holds a relatively stable role as a 3-and-D forward.

Finney-Smith (calf) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Finney-Smith will return to action after a three-game absence due to a left calf contusion. It is unclear whether the 31-year-old will operate under a minutes restriction, but if he does, Noah Clowney could see an increased role. Over his last five outings, Finney-Smith has averaged 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 29.8 minutes per contest.

Finney-Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.

Finney-Smith was a late scratch for the first leg of the club's back-to-back set in Thursday's win over the Bucks due to a left calf contusion. However, the 31-year-old seems to be nearing a return to game action, as he said he felt good before eventually being ruled out Thursday, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. If Finney-Smith is sidelined, Noah Clowney and Tyrese Martin are candidates for increased roles.

Finney-Smith is making his presence felt on both ends of the court for the Nets, and the veteran forward filled the stat sheet in this contest while also leading the team in scoring. Even though Finney-Smith has missed six of the Nets' last 10 games, he should continue to have decent fantasy upside as long as he remains healthy. The nine-year veteran has logged 17 appearances with the Nets in 2024-25, averaging a career-high 11.1 points while also adding 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.2 minutes per game.

Finney-Smith returned from a two-game absence and delivered one of his best all-around outings of the season, finishing just two points shy of tying his season-best mark. Even though he's not one of the go-to players on offense, he's finding ways to produce and has scored in double digits in three of his last four appearances, a span where he's averaging 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 0.5 blocks per game while shooting an unsustainable 52.2 percent from deep.

Finney-Smith was a very late addition to the injury report, so this is a concern for his fantasy managers.

Finney-Smith (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pelicans, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Finney-Smith was probable for Sunday's game against the Spurs due to a sore left ankle, but he was able to play through the issue. However, he was a game-time decision for Sunday's matchup, and the Nets could wait to see how he feels in pregame warmups Tuesday before determining his status.

Finney-Smith (ankle) will play in Sunday's game against San Antonio, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Finney-Smith was deemed a game-time decision Sunday, but after going through warmups he has been upgraded to available. The eighth-year pro is averaging 10.0 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.4 steals in 31.8 minutes over his last five appearances.

Finney-Smith is probable to play in Sunday's game against San Antonio due to left ankle soreness.

Finney-Smith posted six points (2-8 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 25 minutes during Wednesday's 114-106 loss to the Magic.

After playing more than 30 minutes in six straight games coming into Wednesday, Finney-Smith saw his court time decline as Cameron Johnson rejoined the frontcourt rotation. Finney-Smith had averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 boards, 3.0 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.0 steals in 35.2 minutes a contest while getting that elevated workload, but it looks like his run of modest fantasy utility might have come to an end.

Finney-Smith closed with 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists over 31 minutes during Tuesday's 112-107 victory over the 76ers.

Finney-Smith ended just one point shy of tying his season-best mark in this one, but the veteran forward made his presence felt on both ends of the court thanks to his eight rebounds -- one short of his season-best output in that category as well. Finney-Smith is not a go-to player on offense for the Nets, and there's a strong chance this 20-point outing was an outlier rather than a sign of things to come going forward. After all, he's averaging only 7.9 points per game while shooting 34.1 percent from three-point range since the beginning of February.

Finney-Smith closed with nine points (3-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 37 minutes during Monday's 106-102 loss to the Grizzlies.

Finney-Smith closed with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, four assists and one block across 25 minutes during Monday's 111-86 victory over the Grizzlies.

Finney-Smith scored effectively and pounded the glass, but he has now compiled 4-for-18 shooting from deep across his last six games. A tough task awaits against Orlando's physically imposing, top-10 ranked defense in the second half of a back-to-back set for Brooklyn on Tuesday.

Finney-Smith (ankle) tallied three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 20 minutes Saturday in the Nets' 123-103 win over the Spurs.

Though he recaptured a spot in the starting five in his return from a six-game absence due to a right ankle sprain, Finney-Smith played his fewest minutes since Jan. 11. With the Nets having recently returned Ben Simmons from a lengthy absence and likely to get Cameron Johnson (adductor) back in action in the near future, Finney-Smith may not have as much of a pathway to major minutes as he had enjoyed prior to spraining his ankle. Given his murky playing-time outlook in addition to his standing as a low-usage player for the Nets, Finney-Smith warrants attention only in deeper category leagues.

Finney-Smith is in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Spurs, NBA insider Billy Reinhardt reports.

Finney-Smith will replace Jalen Wilson in the starting five Saturday after missing the previous games with an ankle injury. Finney-Smith is struggling with his efficiency to begin 2024, shooting just 30.3 percent from the field and 26.2 percent from three in 12 appearances.

Finney-Smith exceeded 30 minutes for just the second time in the past 11 games, scoring double-digits for the fourth straight game. With that said, he has been outside the top 160 over the past two weeks, offering very little in terms of tangible production. He is fine to roster in deeper formats but as for standard leagues, there just isn't enough meat on the bone to warrant a permanent roster spot.

This is a surprise, as Finney-Smith was carrying a probable tag prior to this update. Coach Jacque Vaughn also said before warmups that he was expecting the veteran forward to play. With Finney-Smith getting the night off, we're likely to see more of Royce O'Neale with the second unit.

Finney-Smith is probable for Saturday versus the Warriors due to left knee soreness,Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Finney-Smith has appeared in the last four matchups as a reserve and averaged 11.0 points and 4.3 rebounds in 26.5 minutes per game during that time. If he's unable to suit up Thursday, Mikal Bridges and Royce O'Neale would be candidates to see increased run.

Finney-Smith has no injury designation for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Finney-Smith is set to return after a one-game absence due to right knee soreness. His availability does not come as a surprise after he was able to log a full practice Tuesday, so he's likely in line for his normal workload Wednesday.

Finney-Smith (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.

Finney-Smith was held out of Saturday's game against the Magic, but he was dealing with some minor soreness and will be good to return against the Hawks on Wednesday. With Finney-Smith back, it's likely that Cam Thomas slides to the bench.

Finney-Smith has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Magic due to right knee soreness, C.J. Holmes of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Finney-Smith was listed as a doubt for Saturday's contest, but in the end, he won't be playing, meaning he'll have a few days to recover before Brooklyn's next game on Dec. 6. Cam Thomas will start in his place, while Cameron Johnson will slide to the power forward role.

Finney-Smith is listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup with the Magic due to foot and knee soreness, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.

Finney-Smith's status will ultimately depend on how he is feeling after testing things out during pregame warmups. Royce O'Neale and Day'Ron Sharpe could see increased minutes providing depth should he ultimately get ruled out, while Trendon Watford could also enter the rotation. More clarity on his status should come closer to tip-off.

Finney-Smith ended with 16 points (7-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one block over 34 minutes during Saturday's 112-97 win over the Heat.

Finney-Smith scored double-digits for just the second time in the past seven games, taking advantage of a favorable matchup. against an understrength Heat. Although he has maintained a relatively consistent role, Finney-Smith has been nothing more than a streaming option to this point. Barring any significant shifts, it is unlikely anything changes moving forward.

Finney-Smith finished with five points (2-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 124-104 victory over Orlando.

Finney-Smith managed just five points in 24 minutes, continuing his mediocre production of late. After a promising start to the season, he has now scored fewer than 10 points in four of the past five games. Despite a few injuries to other players, Finney-Smith simply offers no upside when it comes to standard leagues, making him nothing more than a streaming consideration on low-volume nights.

Finney-Smith recorded 21 points (8-14 FG, 5-9 3Pt), three rebounds and one block across 33 minutes in Friday's 109-107 win over the Bulls.

Making his fourth straight start as an undersized small-ball center in place of the injured Nic Claxton (ankle), Finney-Smith once again came through with a solid all-around line to put himself on the radar for at least a short-term pickup in 12-team leagues where he's still available. Since entering the starting five, Finney-Smith is averaging 16.8 points, 5.0 rebounds, 4.0 three-pointers, 1.5 assists and 0.8 blocks in 31.5 minutes per contest. Even if Claxton misses more time and Finney-Smith continues to garner a regular 30-plus-minute role, fantasy managers should expect some regression to set in with Finney-Smith's offensive production. Finney-Smith has converted on an unsustainable 53.3 percent of his 7.5 three-point attempts per game over his four starts.

Finney-Smith finished with 19 points (7-12 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 31 minutes during Monday's 133-121 win over the Hornets.

Finney-Smith matched his Brooklyn career high with 19 points while successfully emulating his 3&D reputation. Finney-Smith, Royce O'Neale, and Lonnie Walker all exceeded 29 minutes Monday, hinting that the rotation is balanced enough for everybody to produce if hot.

Finney-Smith is in line to start at power forward in Friday's matchup with the Mavericks, Eddie Sefko of the Mavericks' official site reports.

With Cameron Johnson (calf) and Nic Claxton (ankle) sidelined, Finney-Smith will see an increased role in the Nets' second game of the season. He started all 26 games for Brooklyn after being traded there last season, but started the 2023-24 campaign as a reserve.

Finney-Smith isn't in the starting five for Wednesday's season opener against the Cavaliers, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Finney-Smith will be replaced by Cameron Johnson in the starting lineup Wednesday. After starting in all 26 of his appearances for Brooklyn last year, Finney-Smith is expected to be one of the Nets' primary backup forwards this season.

Finney-Smith will start Monday's preseason game against the 76ers, Evan Barnes of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.

With Mikal Bridges resting, Finney-Smith will move into the starting lineup. The defensive-minded forward was a regular starter last year, but he's expected to operate off the bench during the 2023-24 regular season.

Finney-Smith stated during his official media day availability that his pinky finger is feeling good following offseason surgery.

Finney-Smith chipped in eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal across 19 minutes during Saturday's 96-88 loss to Philadelphia in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals.

Finney-Smith offered very little Saturday, rounding out what has been a rough couple of months since arriving in Brooklyn. Despite making the playoffs, the Nets will certainly not be thrilled with how they ended the season. It is unclear exactly what direction they will take moving forward, although no matter the endpoint, Finney-Smith is unlikely to be anything more than a situational streaming option once the 2023-24 campaign tips off.

Finney-Smith (wrist) isn't listed on the Nets' injury report ahead of Saturday's Game 1 against Philadelphia, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

Finney-Smith sat out the regular-season finale due to a right wrist issue, but as expected, he'll be good to go for postseason play. Across 26 starts with Brooklyn, the former Maverick averaged 7.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.3 steals-plus-blocks in 27.7 minutes per game.

Finney-Smith will not play in Sunday's game against Philadelphia due to right wrist injury management, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Finney-Smith will sit out the Nets regular-season finale due to a right wrist issue, joining Cameron Johnson (knee), Royce O'Neale (knee) and Seth Curry (ankle) on the sidelines for the contest. Yuta Watanabe and RaiQuan Gray should each see ample opportunities. Finney-Smith should be back in time for the opening round of the playoffs.

Finney-Smith (wrist) is available for Friday's game against the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Finney-Smith (wrist) is "confident" he will play in Friday's game against the Magic, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Finney-Smith sat out Wednesday's game against the Pistons with a bruised right wrist but should be able to suit up for Friday's contest. If he's a go, Royce O'Neale would likely slide back to the second unit, while Joe Harris and Yuta Watanabe could each see reduced roles.

Finney-Smith (wrist) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, Meghan Triplett of GrindCityMedia.com reports.

Finney-Smith aggravated a wrist injury during Tuesday's loss to Minnesota and will miss his first game since Feb. 7, when he was in the process of being traded to Brooklyn by Dallas. In his absence, Joe Harris, Royce O'Neale and Yuta Watanabe are all candidates for increased roles. Finney-Smith's next chance to suit up will come Friday against the Magic.

Finney-Smith is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Pistons due to a right wrist contusion, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Per Lewis, Finney-Smith's right wrist was already bothering him, and he fell on it during Tuesday's loss to Minnesota, which made the issue worse. If the defensive-minded forward is sidelined, Royce O'Neale and Yuta Watanabe would be candidates for increased roles.

Finney-Smith supplied 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 25 minutes during Friday's 124-107 victory over the Hawks.

This performance looks like an outlier compared to his recent production. Over the past 10 games, Finney-Smith has averages of 7.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.6 three-pointers, 0.8 steals and 0.7 blocks. He'll need to pick it up in the defensive categories if this low usage sticks.

Finney-Smith (wrist) will be available to play for Tuesday's game against the Cavs, source

Finney-Smith has been going through an awful shooting rut over the past three games, as he's scored a total of just 12 points while going 4-of-17 from the floor and he hasn't offered many peripheral stats. He'll draw a difficult matchup against the Cavs Tuesday evening, so it could be tough for him to turn things around.

Finney-Smith is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right wrist contusion, Kristian Winfield of the New York Daily News reports.

Finney-Smith hasn't missed any games since Feb. 7, but he's dealing with a wrist issue ahead of Tuesday's matchup. The 29-year-old has been relatively cold recently, averaging 4.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists in 28.3 minutes per game over his last three appearances while shooting just 23.5 percent from the floor during that time. If he's sidelined Tuesday, Cameron Johnson and Royce O'Neale are candidates to see increased run.

Finney-Smith accumulated 15 points (5-8 FG, 5-7 3Pt), one assist, one block and four steals over 38 minutes during Sunday's 122-120 win over the Nuggets.

The four steals were a season high for Finney-Smith, but he's had busy hands since joining the Nets, recording multiple pilfers in four of the last nine games. Over that stretch, the veteran forward is averaging 8.0 points, 4.2 boards, 2.0 assists, 1.8 threes and 1.3 steals.

Finney-Smith notched zero points (0-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) and three rebounds in 11 minutes during Thursday's 118-113 loss to the Bucks.

Finney-Smith went scoreless across limited action during Thursday's five-point loss to Milwaukee, as Jacque Vaughn opted benched his starting five. The undrafted product out of Florida. has struggled since joining the Nets, posting just 6.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists with 32/23/67 shooting splits.

Finney-Smith totaled 17 points (6-15 FG, 5-11 3Pt), nine rebounds, three assists and two blocks over 38 minutes during Friday's 115-105 win over Boston.

This outburst could help Finney-Smith gain some momentum, as he's been struggling mightily ever since joining the Nets. In eight previous games with Brooklyn, Finney-Smith was averaging just 6.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 0.9 three-pointers on 34.5 percent shooting from the field.

Finney-Smith will start against the Bulls on Thursday, Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

In his first game with Brooklyn, Finney-Smith will start alongside Spencer Dinwiddie, Cam Thomas, Royce O'Neale and Day'ron Sharpe. Joe Harris and Ben Simmons will likely see minutes off the bench in relief of Finney-Smith.

Finney-Smith (coach's decision) was left off the injury report for Thursday's game versus the Bulls.

After being held out of Tuesday's game, Finney-Smith will be available to play in Thursday's matchup with Chicago. The 29-year-old forward will make his Brooklyn debut after being traded from Dallas. Finney-Smith averaged 9.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 32.2 minutes across 40 games for the Mavericks.

Finney-Smith is out Tuesday against the Suns due to "coach's decision," Alec Sturm of NetsDaily.com reports.

Finney-Smith was initially expected to make his Nets debut Tuesday, but there's been a change of plans, and the same goes for Spencer Dinwiddie. Both players should be expected to suit up Thursday against the Bulls.

Finney-Smith is expected to be available to make his Brooklyn debut in Tuesday's game against Phoenix, Billy Reinhardt of NetsDaily.com reports.

Brooklyn hasn't officially commented on the statuses of Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie for Tuesday's contest, but after their acquisitions were finalized Monday, the shorthanded Nets could benefit from having both players available in some capacity for the second half of a back-to-back set. Because he hasn't yet gone through a full practice with the Nets, Finney-Smith may come off the bench Tuesday and/or have his playing time managed to some extent. With his new organization, Finney-Smith faces a murkier path to claiming the 30-plus-minute starting role that he enjoyed in Dallas. When Kevin Durant (knee) likely returns shortly before or after the All-Star break, the Nets will have to decide between Finney-Smith, Ben Simmons, Royce O'Neale, Joe Harris and Seth Curry (adductor) to fill two spots in the starting five, barring any other major personnel changes to the roster ahead of Thursday's trade deadline.

Finney-Smith (recently traded) isn't expected to make his Nets debut Monday against the Clippers, Alex Schiffer of The Athletic reports.

Per Schiffer, the blockbuster trade between Brooklyn and Dallas isn't official as of Monday morning, and even if the deal is finalized later in the day, Finney-Smith and Spencer Dinwiddie aren't expected to suit up versus Los Angeles. The Nets play again Tuesday versus Phoenix, which may also be too quick of a turnaround, so it's certainly possible the duo doesn't suit up for their new until Thursday's matchup against the Bulls.

The Nets acquired Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, a 2029 unprotected first-round pick and 2027 and 2029 second-round picks from the Mavericks on Sunday in exchange for Kyrie Irving (calf) and Markieff Morris (knee), Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Brooklyn didn't have much leverage in trade negotiations for Irving given his off-court baggage along with the fact that he was bound for free agency after the season, so getting back two rotation players in Finney-Smith and Dinwiddie plus a first-round pick represents a decent return for the eight-time All-Star. With the move to the Nets, Finney-Smith should temporarily settle into a starting role at forward, but he could lose out on a spot on the top unit as soon as the Nets have both Kevin Durant (knee) and Ben Simmons (knee) available. Whenever he's on the court, Finney-Smith is unlikely to serve as much more than a low-usage perimeter shooter on offense who's capable of chipping in the defensive categories.

Finney-Smith finished Saturday's 119-113 loss to Golden State with 18 points (5-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 5-6 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one steal across 34 minutes.

Finney-Smith is usually dependable as a production source when Luka Doncic (heel) is sidelined, and he came through with a respectable total in Saturday's loss. The Florida product is as consistent as they come for the Mavericks, with 180 starts in 180 games over the past three years. The veteran has experienced some struggles with his shot this season, as his field goal percentage of 41.6 percent through 40 games is a sharp decline from previous seasons.

Finney-Smith supplied 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), seven rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal in 34 minutes during Thursday's 111-106 win over the Pelicans.

Finney-Smith scored in double digits for the fourth time over his last five contests, and while he's not expected to record big scoring numbers regularly, he's been playing well of late. The veteran 14 games between mid-December and mid-January due to a hip injury, but he's averaging 10.9 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game since returning to action.

Finney-Smith closed with 18 points (7-16 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 12 rebounds, three assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Thursday's 99-95 win over the Suns.

Finney-Smith wasn't exactly efficient from three-point range and needed 16 shots to score 18 points, but he recorded his first double-double of the season while also putting up a season-high mark in the rebounding category. Finney-Smith missed 14 straight games between late December and mid-January, but he has looked decent since returning to the hardwood. The veteran has scored in double digits in three of his five appearances since returning to action.

Finney-Smith recorded eight points (3-8 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one block and one steal over 38 minutes during Sunday's 112-98 loss to the Clippers.

Finney-Smith saw plenty of playing time in the loss but was unable to turn it into tangible fantasy production. Despite being a key piece for the Mavericks, Finney-Smith has been unable to replicate what he did last season, currently sitting well outside the top 150 for the year. He is certainly someone to keep an eye on given his role, although based on what we have seen thus far, streaming his spot could be more productive.

Finney-Smith (hip) will start Wednesday's game against the Hawks, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Finney-Smith is set for his first appearance since injuring his hip in mid-December, falling a day short of reaching an entire month on the sidelines. He will resume his starting duties upon his return, seemingly suggesting he's in line for a reasonable number of minutes. However, given Finney-Smith's extended absence, it still wouldn't be surprising if he's slightly limited in his return.

Finney-Smith (hip) is expected to return to action Wednesday versus the Hawks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

Finney-Smith is officially listed as questionable for the contest, but it appears the team is preparing for him to retake the floor behind the scenes. Finney-Smith hasn't drawn into game action since Dec. 19 against the Timberwolves, so he could have some limitations in terms of minutes and may need to knock off some rust. Even if neither of those is true, Finney-Smith hasn't produced at a level this season worthy of fantasy usage in most formats, so his return shouldn't mean a ton on that front.

Finney-Smith (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hawls.

Finney-Smith may return to the lineup Wednesday after missing the previous 14 games with a right adductor strain. If he's unable to suit up against Atlanta, his injury designation is a good sign he will be able to play soon.

Finney-Smith (hip) will remain at for at least another couple of weeks, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Finney-Smith's hip issue has prevented him from taking the court in any of the last three games, and that will be the case again for at least a handful more. The team should provide an updated timeline as Finney-Smithy draws closer to returning, but he's looking at a mid-January return based on the current framing.

Finney-Smith (hip) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Knicks.

Finney-Smith is slated to miss a fourth straight game due to a hip injury. It's unclear when the defensive-minded forward will be back in action, but his next chance to suit up will come Thursday against Houston. In his absence, Reggie Bullock figures to draw another start.

Finney-Smith (hip) will miss Friday's game against the Rockets.

Finney-Smith will skip his second consecutive game while dealing with a right adductor strain.

Finney-Smith's next opportunity to return arrives in a Christmas Day showdown with the Lakers on Sunday.

Finney-Smith (hip) has been ruled out for Wednesday's rematch against Minnesota.

Finney-Smith is slated to miss his first game of the season due to a right adductor strain he suffered in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves. In his absence, Davis Bertans, Reggie Bullock and Christian Wood are all candidates for increased roles.

Finney-Smith appeared to suffer the injury during the third quarter and was ruled out almost immediately after walking off the court. He'll be considered day-to-day until more information on the injury becomes available.

Finney-Smith totaled 11 points (4-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 40 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 100-99 overtime loss to the Cavaliers.

Finney-Smith continues to log heavy minutes but thus far, has been unable to replicate what he was able to do last season. He is outside the top 150 for the season, offering uspide in three-pointers alone. He remains rostered in a handful of standard formats, something that certainly should not be the case.

Finney-Smith registered five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and three steals across 28 minutes during Friday's 106-105 loss to the Bucks.

Finney-Smith didn't score many points, but he recorded eight rebounds and three blocked shots in the loss. It's an encouraging sign for the veteran, who was in the middle of a slump to begin the month.

Finney-Smith finished with 19 points (7-13 FG, 5-10 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and three steals in 35 minutes before fouling out of Tuesday's 116-115 win over Denver.

Finney-Smith put together his best game of the season in the win, racking up solid contributions on both ends of the floor. Prior to Tuesday, he had failed to score more than six points in four straight games, barely logging top-200 value over that period. While he can be a viable asset at times, his production thus far has been too inconsistent to warrant 12-team attention.

Finney-Smith closed Wednesday's 125-112 loss to the Celtics with 10 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes.

Finney-Smith had been held 16 total points over his last three games heading into Wednesday's clash, but he responded with a decent shooting night against Boston. He also added his usual production on the boards and tied his best mark of the season with two blocked shots. The 29-year-old is averaging 8.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 33.4 minutes through 17 matchups this year.

Finney-Smith accumulated 21 points (7-15 FG, 7-13 3Pt), three rebounds and three steals over 36 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 victory over the Clippers.

Finney-Smith attempted a season-high 13 triples and was locked in from beyond the arc in this one. This marks his first time scoring in double figures since Nov. 7 against Brooklyn, as he had totaled only 19 points over his last three games combined heading into Tuesday. Despite struggling in the scoring department, the Florida product continues to log between 30-to-35 minutes on a nightly basis.

Finney-Smith totaled 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 31 minutes during Friday's 111-110 victory over the Raptors.

Finney-Smith shot over 50.0 percent from the field for the first time since Oct. 22. Finney-Smith has averaged just 7.9 points, 4.3 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 0.9 steals across eight games thus far, while shooting 43.9 percent from the field. The 29-year-old shot 47.1 percent overall last season.

Finney-Smith ended with 13 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 39 minutes during Thursday's 120-110 loss to the Warriors in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

Finney-Smith finished with at least 10 points, four rebounds and two assists for the third time during the series and for the seventh time during the postseason. The defensive-minded forward also registered multiple steals and at least one block in the same game for the first time since April 8. Across 18 playoff contests, Finney-Smith averaged 11.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists in 38.2 minutes per game.

Finney-Smith posted 23 points (9-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 39 minutes during Tuesday's 119-109 win over the Warriors in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

While he didn't deliver a dominant stat line as Doncic did, Finney-Smith certainly played a big role in the win -- he only missed four of his 13 shots and ended the game as Dallas' second-best scoring threat. That said, this game ended a streak of six contests in which he couldn't surpass the 10-point mark. He can get hot and light up the scoreboard on any given night, but he needs to be more consistent in order to become a more valuable offensive threat for Dallas -- both in fantasy and in real life. He's averaging just 10.4 points per game over his last 10 appearances, but he's been deadly from three-point range as he's hit 47.3 percent of his attempts from beyond the arc in that span.

Finney-Smith provided 24 points (8-13 FG, 8-12 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 111-101 win over the Suns.

Finney-Smith was hot early and often en route to a season-high eight made threes. His 24 points marked his first 20-plus point outing of the playoffs and was key in propelling the Mavericks to a second consecutive win to tie the series. Coming into the contest, Finney-Smith was averaging just 12.2 points during the postseason, so Dallas hopes the defensive-minded forward can build off his strong performance moving forward.

Finney-Smith notched 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one steal in 40 minutes during Monday's 121-114 loss to Phoenix.

Finney-Smith was one of four Mavs players to register double-digit scoring and finished third on the team with 15 points. He also tied for second on the squad with six boards as he provided his usual steady-but-unspectacular production. Through seven postseason games, Finney-Smith is averaging 13.4 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 2.7 three-pointers.

Finney-Smith logged 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), 10 rebounds and five assists over 46 minutes during Thursday's 98-96 victory over the Jazz.

Finney-Smith enjoyed easily his best game of the series in the clinching victory, posting his most points, rebounds and assists of the six-game set. The veteran forward was a consistent frontcourt presence for the Mavericks throughout the matchup, scoring in double digits in all but one game and grabbing at least four boards in each contest. He averaged 13.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals overall during the series.

Finney-Smith racked up 13 points (4-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one steal across 41 minutes during Monday's 102-77 win over the Jazz.

Only three Mavericks players scored double-digit points in the contest, with Finney-Smith checking in third behind Luka Doncic (33 points) and Jalen Brunson (24 points) in the scoring column. Finney-Smith also logged a team-high 41 minutes and contributed five boards along with four assists. The forward has registered over 10 points in four of five games during the series while draining multiple three-pointers in each game thus far.

Finney-Smith chipped in 14 points (6-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt), eight rebounds, two assists and four steals across 47 minutes during Thursday's 126-118 victory over Utah.

After not recording more than three steals in any game during the regular season, Finney-Smith put together a fantastic defensive performance against the Jazz in Game 3. The 28-year-old is only a secondary option on offense even with Luka Doncic (calf) out of the lineup however, averaging 12.3 points, 6.3 boards, 2.3 threes, 1.7 assists and 1.7 steals through the first three games of the series.

Finney-Smith notched 15 points (5-7 FG, 5-7 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 24 minutes during Friday's 128-78 win over Portland.

Finney-Smith connected on at least five three-pointers for just the third time this season en route to his third consecutive game in double figures. During that stretch, he's averaged 13.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 steals in 33.7 minutes per game.

Finney-Smith accumulated 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 36 minutes during Wednesday's 131-113 victory over the Pistons.

Finney-Smith scored an efficient 13 points while finishing with a plus-19 in the box score amid a blowout victory. Wednesday marked his 29th game with three-plus triples this season. Finney-Smith is shooting 38.5 percent on a carer-high 5.4 attempts from deep per game as the campaign nears an end.

Finney-Smith posted 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-112 win over the Cavaliers.

After three straight relatively mediocre scoring performances, Finney-Smith erupted for a new career best offensively and reached the 20-point mark for a third time this year. The forward had been previously struggling from three-point range heading into Wednesday's matchup, as Finney-Smith drained just one three over his past 15 attempts before his superb outing versus the Cavs.

Finney-Smith registered 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 110-91 win over the Rockets.

Finney-Smith didn't have the boost many expected amid Luka Doncic's (ankle) absence, but he still turned in a decent line on a night dominated by Dallas' backcourt. Although his shot volume could use some improvement, his rebounding totals can usually salvage any deficiencies in that category.

Finney-Smith logged 19 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 38 minutes during Sunday's 95-92 win over Boston.

After missing Friday's game at Houston, Finney-Smith was back in the lineup Sunday and finished behind only Luka Doncic's 26 points for the team lead in scoring. The three-and-D forward has now scored in double figures in six of his last seven contests.

Finney-Smith (arm) is available for Sunday's contest against the Celtics.

Finney-Smith was sidelined Friday, but he'll presumably be back in the starting lineup Sunday. Before suffering the injury, he had averaged 17.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in his five previous contests.

Finney-Smith (arm) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Celtics.

Finney-Smith's absence Friday against the Rockets prompted Josh Green to draw the start. That would likely play out again if Finney-Smith sits out once more.

Finney-Smith (arm) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Houston.

Finney-Smith will miss just his second game of the season Friday due to a right arm contusion. In his absence, Maxi Kleber and Davis Bertans figure to see increased workloads against the Rockets.

Finney-Smith is questionable for Friday's game against the Rockets due to a bruised right arm.

Finney-Smith has missed just one game this season -- Christmas Day against the Jazz. He's been a reliable two-way contributor for Dallas all season. If he sits out Friday, more minutes could be in store for Davis Bertans and Josh Green.

Finney-Smith posted 21 points (8-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 39 minutes in Monday's 111-103 win over the Jazz.

Finney-Smith has typically operated as more of a peripheral piece in Dallas' offensive attack this season, but he's stepped up of late with both Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson recently missing one game apiece and with Reggie Bullock in the midst of a shooting funk. Over the last five games, Finney-Smith has topped 14 points and two triples each time out, but a 58.2 percent mark from the field and 48.6 percent mark from distance suggests his offense will eventually level off. Finney-Smith still looks like more of a back-end piece on a 12-team roster, but he isn't necessarily a fit for every fantasy team.

Finney-Smith scored 17 points (6-13 FG, 5-11 3Pt) while adding six rebounds, two assists and two steals in 33 minutes during Saturday's 114-113 win over the Kings.

His last three-pointer of the night was the biggest, as Finney-Smith sunk a shot from the right corner with less than four seconds left in the fourth quarter for the winning bucket. While he can still be inconsistent on the offensive end, the 28-year-old forward has scored in double digits and drained multiple threes in 10 of the last 12 games, averaging 12.5 points, 5.1 boards, 2.8 made threes, 1.5 assists and 1.3 steals over that stretch while shooting 52.4 percent from the floor.

Finney-Smith contributed 16 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Tuesday's 109-104 win over the Lakers.

Finney-Smith has been an invaluable contributor in the paint since Kristaps Porzingis' departure. His rebound output has done much to prop up Dallas' interior game, and the veteran has also upped his shot volume in the process. If you are in need of rebounding help, he may still be found on the waiver wire in many seasonal leagues.

Finney-Smith logged 14 points (5-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 36 minutes during Sunday's 107-101 victory over Golden State.

Finney-Smith fell just one rebound short of a double-double in the victory, turning in another well-balanced performance. Much as he has done throughout his career, Finney-Smith has been able to do just enough on both ends of the floor to warrant being a 12-team consideration. His ceiling basically matches his floor and so while he can be rostered, there is almost zero chance his production increases as we head in the fantasy playoffs.

Finney-Smith finished with 14 points (5-9 FG, 4-7 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 36 minutes Tuesday in the Mavericks' 107-99 win over the Heat.

The four treys matched a season-high total for Finney-Smith, who also cleared the 35-minute mark for the seventh time in eight games. As a low-usage player who typically gets most of his offense from beyond the arc, Finney-Smith's scoring can be volatile from game to game, but he's usually a neutral or slightly positive asset in the other categories aside from assists. Though his fantasy profile isn't anything unspectacular, Finney-Smith's heavy-minute role makes him a decent option at the back end of 12-team rosters.

Finney-Smith had 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, one assist and three steals over 41 minutes during Thursday's 112-105 victory over the Clippers.

Finney-Smith capped off what was a great day, chipping in across the board as the Mavericks held off the Clippers. It was a prototypical performance by Finney-Smith, justifying the new four-year deal he signed earlier in the day. He is now locked in as a key piece moving forward for the Mavericks. In terms of fantasy value, he should be able to continue putting up backend 12-team value the rest of the way, especially with Kristaps Porzingis now residing in Washington.

Finney-Smith agreed to a four-year, $52 million contract extension with the Mavericks on Thursday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

The trade of Kristaps Porzingis to the Wizards on Thursday opened up some cap space for the Mavericks, and the team wasted little time in locking up Finney-Smith through the 2025-26 campaign. He's averaging a career-high 10.1 points to go along with 4.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 32.5 minutes this season and should continue to play a pivotal role in the frontcourt.

Finney-Smith logged 42 minutes in Sunday's 103-94 win over the Hawks, finishing with 11 points (3-12 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.

With two key frontcourt players (Kristaps Porzingis and Maxi Kleber) out with knee injuries and with Luka Doncic and Jalen Brunson both saddled with foul trouble for much of the night, Dallas once again pumped in extra minutes to Finney-Smith. The forward hasn't played fewer than 39 minutes in any of the past four contests, and while he's picked up some extra shot attempts as a result, a 30 percent mark from the field over that stretch has prevented him from posting any eye-popping stat lines. Finney-Smith's fantasy game isn't predicated on high usage, but if the elevated playing time holds, expect him to deliver more useful production in the games to come once his shooting likely falls more in line with his career-long percentage (43.6 percent).

Finney-Smith posted 10 points (3-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block in 39 minutes during Sunday's 110-108 loss to Orlando.

Finney-Smith produced at his season averages of 10.1 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. Slightly eery product aside, Finney-Smith isn't an overly desirable fantasy asset, but he's a critical piece of Dallas' rotation and a strong defender. Finney-Smith's fantasy floor is derived from his top-15 ranking in total minutes played.

Finney-Smith accumulated nine points (3-8 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and two steals in 36 minutes during Sunday's 104-91 win over the Grizzlies.

Finney-Smith failed to score in double figures for the third straight game, but he was able to impact the game in other areas. He dished out four assists, his highest since Dec. 31, and he also recored multiple blocks and multiple steals in the same game for just the second time this season. In January (12 games), Finney-Smith is averaging 10.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 30.3 minutes.

Finney-Smith closed with 17 points (6-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 34 minutes during Monday's 104-102 win over the Thunder.

Finney-Smith was invaluable during Kristaps Porzingis' recent string of absences but didn't reach the double-double threshold until Monday. Porzingis was on a minute restriction in Monday's win, and a dip in rebound production will likely be coming Finney-Smith's way when Porzingis takes on a heavier load.

Finney-Smith, who was listed as questionable with a non-COVID-19-related illness, is available to play Sunday against the Bulls.

After posting 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds and three assists in 23 minutes in Friday's 130-106 win over the Rockets, Finney-Smith's status for the Mavericks' final game of the weekend was up in the air after he apparently felt ill early Sunday. Following an afternoon check-in, however, Finney-Smith is evidently feeling better and will be ready to go give it a go. Unless the Mavericks say otherwise, expect Finney-Smith to start and take on a normal minutes load.

Finney-Smith closed with 17 points (6-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and two blocks across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 99-82 victory over the Warriors.

Finney-Smith's 17 points were the most he has recorded since posting 19 points against the Timberwolves on Dec. 21, as the forward finished second on the team in scoring behind Luka Doncic's 26 and tied a season high in rebounds. It was also Finney-Smith's 11th straight time reaching double figures. The former Florida Gator is currently posting a career-high 10.3 points per matchup.

Finney-Smith logged 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block during a win Friday at Sacramento.

Finney-Smith's recent assist tally is his career best. And considering the fact he never averaged multiple assists across five previous seasons, fantasy managers should not expect him to suddenly become a valuable contributor concerning that statistical category.

Finney-Smith provided 14 points (5-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and one block over 34 minutes during Monday's 132-117 win over the Trail Blazers.

Finney-Smith missed Dallas' Christmas Day game due to a non-COVID illness, but he was able to return to action Monday. The veteran forward finished with his sixth straight game of double-digit scoring and finished just one board shy of a double-double. Finney-Smith's recent surge has pushed his season average to 10.3 points per game, which is on pace for the highest mark of his career.

Finney-Smith (illness) is not on the injury report ahead of Monday's game at Portland.

Finney-Smith was held out of the Mavs' Christmas Day matchup against the Jazz, but his removal from the report intimates that he'll be back in the starting five Monday night. Dallas plays four games during the week ahead, including favorable matchups against Sacramento (Wednesday and Friday) and Oklahoma City (Sunday).

Finney-Smith will not be available for Saturday's game against Utah.

Finney-Smith is a late addition to the injury report due to a non-COVID illness. The already-shorthanded Mavs will have to replace him in the starting lineup at one forward spot. Consider Finney-Smith day-to-day ahead of Monday's game at Portland.

Finney-Smith closed with 19 points (7-15 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 114-102 victory over the Timberwolves.

Finney-Smith had one of the better performances of his season Tuesday, which included tying his season-high five assists. He's scored in double-digits in four straight games and should continue seeing extra usage as long as the Mavericks are severely shorthanded.

Finney-Smith racked up 23 points (9-13 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-105 loss to the Timberwolves.

Finney-Smith is not known for his scoring contributions despite the fact that he can deliver strong performances on any given night, but he seems to be trending in the right direction of late. He's scored in double digits in three games in a row, and in fact, the 23-point output Sunday represented a season-high mark for him. His fantasy upside would experience quite an uptick if he can continue to score at this rate on a regular basis.

Finney-Smith racked up eight points (3-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, five assists, two blocks and three steals across 29 minutes during Sunday's 103-84 win over the Thunder.

Finney-Smith wasn't particularly efficient from the floor in Sunday's comfortable win, but he logged a season-high five assists against Oklahoma City. He's played at least 30 minutes in five of his last six appearances and has averaged 9.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in 34.3 minutes per game during that time.

Finney-Smith racked up 15 points (5-10 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, two assists and three steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 102-99 loss to Brooklyn.

Finney-Smith had a decent performance and managed to leave his mark on both ends of the court, as he ended as one of Dallas' top scorers while also putting up decent rebounding and defensive numbers. He's now scored at least 14 points in three of his last five games, but his inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis make him a tough player to rely night in and night out.

Finney-Smith logged eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Friday's 107-91 loss to the Pelicans.

Finney-Smith managed to check off every category in the loss Friday, but couldn't deliver high-volume numbers anywhere. This is basically who he is at this point and so fantasy managers should not be too surprised by the lack of excitement. He is fine to roster in 12-team leagues but we need to understand that there is zero upside when it comes to his outlook.

Finney-Smith supplied 12 points (4-8 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 33 minutes during Friday's 112-104 loss to the Suns.

Finney-Smith scored in double figures for just the second time since the start of November, but his value has always come on the defensive end of the floor. The three-and-D wing hasn't been overly productive of late, though he has hit multiple three-pointers in each of his last four games while notching five steals in that span.

Finney-Smith finished Sunday's win over the Kings with 13 points (5-13 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six boards, two steals and a block.

Finney-Smith's 13 field-goal attempts set a new season high, and while he again struggled from three-point land, he provided fantasy managers with valuable defensive contributions. Finney-Smith remains a lower-end fantasy option in most leagues, but managers desperate for rebounds and steals could turn to the 28-year-old for some help. On the season, he's averaging 8.5 points, 6.2 boards, 1.3 steals and 0.7 blocks in 31.3 minutes.

Finney-Smith finished with 14 points (5-11 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist in 32 minutes during Thursday's 104-99 victory over the Spurs.

Finney-Smith was at it again Thursday, putting up nice numbers across the board. With Kristaps Porzingis (back) ruled out, there were a few extra shots to be had and Finney-Smith gladly absorbed a couple of them. He is by no means an elite fantasy asset but typically does enough night in and night out to be rostered in just about every 12-team league.

Finney-Smith closed with just six points (2-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, three blocks and one assist in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 116-106 victory over the Rockets.

Despite some poor shooting, Finney-Smith salvaged his night with six boards and three swats. He is typically a player who does not rely on high-volume to have fantasy value and that was highlighted once again. He provides solid rebound numbers from the small forward position and his defensive contributions are certainly tangible. While definitely not a flashy option, Finney-Smith should be at least considered in most standard formats.

Finney-Smith (not injury related) will play in Friday's preseason game against the Clippers, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith rested in Wednesday's preseason opener but will be available Friday. He should see considerable run with Reggie Bullock (rest) out against the Clippers.

Finney-Smith won't play in the preseason opener against the Jazz on Wednesday, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Caplan reports that the absence isn't injury related and just typical preseason rest. Finney-Smith will look to make his 2021-22 debut Friday against the Clippers.

Finney-Smith had 18 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in Sunday's Game 7 loss to the Clippers.

While the scoring numbers don't jump off the page, Finney-Smith closed out an impressive two-way series in which he notched three double-digit scoring games and five games with multiple made three-pointers. Fantasy-wise, Finney-Smith didn't offer any defensive production Sunday, but he racked up seven steals across Games 5 and 6. In season-long formats, the rangy forward is still more of a deeper-leagues target, but he's improved his three-point percentage in five consecutive seasons, topping out at 39.4 percent in 2020-21 (career-high 2.0 3PM/G).

Finney-Smith produced eight points (2-9 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five steals, four rebounds, two assists and one block in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 105-100 victory over Dallas.

Despite scoring just eight points, Finney-Smith still managed to play a major role in the victory, racking up six combined steals and blocks. He continues to be the ultimate glue guy for the Mavericks, often doing all the little things on both ends of the floor. Things now head back to Dallas where the home team will look to secure their first win of the series.

Finney-Smith produced 18 points (7-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and a steal across 37 minutes in Saturday's 113-103 win over the Clippers.

When opposing defenses line up against the Mavericks, they spend a lot of time figuring out how to contain Luka Doncic, but when performances like Finney-Smith's pop up in the supporting cast, they are difficult to account for. In his fifth season with Dallas, Finney-Smith is having a career year in almost every category, but the most significant jump comes from his three-point attempts, which average five shots per game. He's barely completing 40 percent of them, but Saturday's exhibit will bolster that percentage.

Finney-Smith totaled 15 points (6-9 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one assist in 28 minutes during Sunday's 136-121 loss to the Timberwolves.

Finney-Smith has been a great defender for the Mavericks this season, but his offense production solely relies upon his ability to hit open threes. Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis demand most of the defense's attention so Finney-Smith gets left in the corner a ton. The 29-year-old is shooting a career best 39.4 percent from three this season, including a scalding 66.7 percent over his last three games.

Finney-Smith registered 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebound and three assists across 39 minutes during Thursday's 113-109 win over the Nets.

Since a seven-point performance, Finney-Smith has topped double figures in scoring 10 times over his last 11 outings. On top of his scoring, Finney-Smith has also contributed in the rebounding department, averaging 5.5 boards in that span while also registering at least one steal in seven games.

Finney-Smith ended with just three points (1-7 FG, 0-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two steals in 35 minutes during Sunday's 111-99 loss to the Kings.

Finney-Smith finally came back to earth after putting together arguably the best two-week stretch of his career. The Mavericks are leaning heavily on Finney-Smith and so while this was obviously a disappointment, his opportunity alone certainly lends itself to 12-team value.

Finney-Smith will start Saturday's contest against the Wizards, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

After a one-game absence, Finney-Smith will return to the starting five, pushing Tim Hardaway back to the bench. In April, he averaged 12.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals in 34.1 minutes.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) is available for Saturday's contest against the Wizards.

Finney-Smith missed Thursday's game with a lower leg issue that had been bothering him for multiple games prior. Apparently, the time off helped, and he's no longer being listed on the injury report.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) will not play Thursday against the Pistons.

Finney-Smith will be sidelined as expected Thursday after he had been considered doubtful due to a sore lower leg. Tim Hardaway and Josh Green could see increased workloads with the regular starting small forward on the sidelines.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Pistons.

Finney-Smith has been dealing with a sore lower-leg for the last few games, but he's been able to play through the issue. It looks like he's on course to sit out Thursday, however, and if that's the case it would be his first absence since March 19. the three-and-D forward has averaged 14.3 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.3 steals and 3.3 made three-pointers over his last seven contests.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) is questionable for Thursday's contest against the Pistons, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith has played through lower left leg soreness across the past two games, and the issue is still bothering him. The Mavs are expected to be shorthanded in the frontcourt either way, as Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) is doubtful and Maxi Kleber (back) is questionable.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) is available for Tuesday's contest against the Warriors, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Initially questionable, Finney-Smith will see the court Tuesday. Kristaps Porzingis (ankle) and Josh Richardson (hamstring) are out for Dallas.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game against the Warriors, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

All five of the Mavs' regular starters are either doubtful or questionable, so it's very possible we could see a skeleton crew Tuesday on the second half of a back-to-back. Finney-Smith played through the sore lower leg Monday night in Sacramento, finishing with 10 points, seven boards, two steals, a block and two three-pointers in 33 minutes. He's now hit multiple three-pointers in six straight games.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) will play Monday against the Kings, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith will play as expected Monday despite soreness in his lower left leg. He's seen 34.8 minutes per game over the last five outings.

Finney-Smith (lower leg) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Kings.

He was questionable earlier in the day, so at this point it appears the defensive-minded wing will be available as the Mavs begin a back-to-back set. Finney-Smith is averaging 15.4 points, 4.8 rebounds and 3.6 made threes over his last five contests.

Finney-Smith is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Kings due to a sore left lower leg, Tim MacMahon of ESPN reports.

The entire Mavericks' starting five is now listed as questionable, so it's very possible the team is looking to get its regulars some rest on the front end of a back-to-back set against an inferior opponent. As usual, Finney-Smith has carried a heavy workload of late, averaging 34.8 minutes per contest over his last five appearances. In Saturday's win over the Lakers, he went for 21 points (4-7 3Pt), seven rebounds and two assists in 32 minutes.

Finney-Smith produced 21 points (8-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and seven rebounds Saturday in a 108-93 victory over the Lakers.

Finney-Smith continued his recent run of strong play, finishing with double-digit scoring for the fifth straight contest. That is his longest such streak of the season; in fact, Finney-Smith hadn't accomplished the feat in more than two consecutive games prior to the past week. Over his past five games, the forward is averaging 15.4 points, 4.8 boards and 3.6 three-pointers per contest.

Finney-Smith recorded 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), three rebounds, three steals and two assists across 37 minutes in Thursday's 115-110 win over the Lakers.

After pulling a disappearing act for most of the third quarter, Finney-Smith reported immediately after Kristaps Porzongis' injury and rattled off a field goal, a three-pointer and two steals throughout the remainder of the game. The severity of Porzigis' injury is unclear at this point, but Finney-Smith's 6-7, 220-pound frame will come in handy as a rebound source if their star center is out for an extended period.

Finney-Smith totaled 22 points (8-11 FG, 6-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block in 35 minutes during Sunday's 121-107 loss to the Kings.

On what was a disappointing night for the Mavericks, Finney-Smith was one of the few bright spots. Despite a consistent role, he has been unable to take the next step this season. He is a solid enough addition to any fantasy squad but the upside is basically zero and streaming his position is likely to garner more significant production.

Finney-Smith posted 12 points (5-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist and one steal across 35 minutes of Monday's loss to the 76ers.

Finney-Smith has grabbed double-digit rebounds just twice this season and both occasions have come within the last three games. With the Mavs playing without Kristaps Porzingis (rest), Finney-Smith failed to take advantage of any extra scoring opportunities though his 12 points snap a streak of three straight contests scoring in single-digits.

Finney-Smith posted nine points (3-10 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-3 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists and three blocks in 35 minutes during Thursday's win over the Bucks.

The 27-year-old has been contributing across the board over his past four games, 13.0 points, 6.8 rebounds, 3.3 three-pointers, 1.5 blocks and 1.0 steals in that span. Finney-Smith has been a top-50 fantasy over the past week and is locked into heavy minutes the rest of the way for the seventh-seeded Mavericks. The fifth-year forward will look to keep it going Sunday at home against the Spurs.

Finney-Smith ended with 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-12 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes during Monday's 111-103 victory over the Jazz.

Finney-Smith had arguably his best game of the season as the short-handed Mavericks took down the high-flying Jazz. He has been able to carve out a nice role for himself, although his efforts on the court do not typically translate to elite fantasy production. That said, he does enough to be considered a backend plug-and-play option across standard formats.

Finney-Smith posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT), two assists and a rebound across 27 minutes in Monday's 127-106 win over the Thunder.

Finney-Smith's time on the floor proved to be quite valuable, as it's rare to see a plus-minus total of +32 next to any player's stat line. While the formula can sometimes be misleading, the high number was a definite sign that the Mavericks played much better with the forward in the lineup. His steady play this season has been a primary reason for Tim Hardaway's demotion to the second unit, although Josh Richardson has played a part in that as well.

Finney-Smith is back in the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

After a two-game absence due to personal reasons, Finney-Smith will be back in the lineup as the Mavs send Tim Hardaway back to the bench. In four games since the break, Finney-Smith is averaging 8.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.0 combined steals/blocks.

Finney-Smith (personal) is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Finney-Smith (personal) will remain out for Friday's game against Portland, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith missed Wednesday's win over the Clippers, and he'll remain out as he deals with a personal matter. Tim Hardaway Jr. moved into the starting five in his place Wednesday.

Finney-Smith (personal) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

As expected, Finney-Smith won't be available Wednesday due to the birth of his son early Wednesday morning. Maxi Kleber and Wes Iwundu should see increased run in his absence. Finney-Smith's next chance to return will come Friday against Portland.

Finney-Smith is doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Clippers due to personal reasons.

Assuming Finney-Smith is out Wednesday, it will be his first missed game since Jan. 25. Maxi Kleber and Wes Iwundu are candidates to see extra minutes is Finney-Smith is out.

Finney-Smith is shooting just 37.5 percent from the field and 26.9 percent from three in March.

The forward isn't known as a scorer, so his 7.0 points per game isn't bad on the surface. But he shot 46.6 percent from the field and 37.6 percent from three last season, so this recent downturn in efficiency is significant. That said, over the past six games, he's still rebounding well, grabbing 6.3 boards per contest.

Finney-Smith posted 12 points (5-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), eight rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block across 35 minutes during Saturday's 115-98 win over the Nets.

In one of his best performances of the season, Finney-Smith filled out every area of the stat sheet except free throws. He also committed no turnovers, making his season-high four assists more impressive. It was a strong bounceback effort for Finney-Smith, who had gone three games with 10 total points on 4-of-22 shooting.

Finney-Smith delivered 14 points (5-8 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, an assist, a steal and a block across 35 minutes in Sunday's loss against the Trail Blazers.

Finney-Smith posted five points (1-3 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists in 27 minutes during Thursday's 147-116 loss to the Warriors.

Thursday marked just the second time this season Finney-Smith has made just one field goal, so that's certainly an outlier. Since returning from health and safety protocols, the forward is averaging 7.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 29.0 minutes.

Finney-Smith tallied three points (1-8 FG, 1-6 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 116-104 loss to Utah.

Finney-Smith joined a number of players in making his return to action after a lengthy absence. Despite being handed the starting role, it was a disappointing return, not only for Finney-Smith but for the team as a whole. Even when he is firing on all cylinders, Finney-Smith is a player who is best left to the waiver wire.

Finney-Smith (COVID-19 protocols) is available Wednesday against the Jazz.

The 27-year-old has missed the past nine games while going through the league's COVID-19 protocols, but he'll return to the court Wednesday at Utah. Finney-Smith started the first eight games of the season and was averaging 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.3 minutes, but he figures to have some limitations since he hasn't seen game action since Jan. 7.

Finney-Smith (COVID-19 protocols) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith has already missed nine games due to the league's health and safety protocols. The questionable tag is an upgrade from where he's been during that period, however, so it's possible he gets back on the court soon. He was averaging 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 29.4 minutes prior to being shut down.

Finney-Smith (COVID-19 protocols) is out Monday against the Nuggets.

Finney-Smith remains in the league's health and safety protocols and will miss a ninth straight game. He's still considered day-to-day by Dallas.

Finney-Smith (COVID-19 protocols) is out Saturday against the Rockets.

Health and safety protocols continue to keep Finney-Smith sidelined, and it's not clear when he'll return. The Mavericks continue to deem him day-to-day.

Finney-Smith (COVID-19 protocols) is out Friday against the Spurs.

Finney-Smith (COVID-19 protocols) is out Sunday against the Bulls.

Finney-Smith is still working through the NBA's protocols and will be sidelined for a fourth straight game. His next chance to play arrives Monday against the Raptors.

Finney-Smith is expected to quarantine for at least seven days after he entered the NBA's health and safety protocol Saturday, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports. "The expectation is that a lot of those things aren't going to resolve quickly," Carlisle said, regarding Finney-Smith's situation. "All of those timeframes you mentioned have validity," after Townsend asked Carlisle if Finney-Smith would remain out for seven, 10 or 14 days.

Finney-Smith, Jalen Brunson and Josh Richardson entered the protocol after one of the three reportedly tested positive for COVID-19. If Finney-Smith is determined merely to be a close contact rather than infected by the virus, he'll likely be subject to the shorter quarantine period, while a positive test would likely result in him missing 14 days or longer. Finney-Smith had been a viable roster option in 14-to-16-team leagues prior to entering the protocol, as he averaged 9.3 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 three-pointers, 1.4 steals and 1.0 assists in 29.3 minutes per game.

Finney-Smith won't play Saturday against the Magic due to health and safety protocols.

Finney-Smith has seen significant playing time recently, but he'll be unavailable Saturday, along with teammate Josh Richardson (undisclosed). Tim Hardaway and Josh Green should see increased run in his absence.

Finney-Smith registered 14 points (5-12 FG, 4-8 3Pt), eight rebounds, three steals, two assists and two blocked shots across 36 minutes in Thursday's 124-117 overtime win over the Nuggets.

It was easily Finney Smith's best scoring total of the season, and it was bolstered via four drilled threes in the contest. He's also coming through as a valued contributor off the glass, and his five boards per-game average places him as a borderline target for deeper fantasy leagues.

Finney-Smith recorded 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, three assists and two steals in 36 minutes during Thursday's 106-102 loss to the Suns.

Finney-Smith and Dwight Powell started in the frontcourt for the Mavericks, who remain without Kristaps Porzingis (knee) for the beginning of the year. He's not normally a high-usage player but can put up a well-rounded statline like Thursday's on occasion. Finney-Smith is a passable option in 14-team fantasy leagues and can make for a cost-saving DFS play.

Finney-Smith contributed 16 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and four assists in 37 minutes during Sunday's 111-97 loss to the Clippers.

Finney-Smith battled through a hip injury in Sunday's losing effort, something that has been bothering him for quite some time. On the whole, this would have to be viewed as his best fantasy season to date. He ends as a top-150 player in standard leagues, although given that was in over 30 minutes per game, his ceiling should be viewed as right around this number.

Finney-Smith (hip) will play in Sunday's Game 6 against the Clippers, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith has been nursing a hip injury dating back to Game 5 of the series, but that won't stop him from being on the court Sunday. The forward is dropping 9.0 points and 5.6 rebounds over the first five playoff games against the Clippers.

Finney-Smith is questionable for Thursday's Game 6 against the Clippers due to a strained left hip and right hip soreness, Callie Caplan of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith joins an extensive injury list for the Mavericks, which includes Luka Doncic (ankle), Kristaps Porzingis (knee) and Trey Burke (ankle), who are all questionable as well. While Finney-Smith doesn't put up big numbers, he's an important frontcourt glue piece for the Mavericks and, in the series, he's averaging 9.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.4 steals in 30.8 minutes.

Finney-Smith (hip) is available for Tuesday's Game 5 against the Clippers.

Despite a strained left hip, Finney-Smith will play in Game 5. In the series, he's averaging 9.0 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.3 steals in 31.8 minutes.

The Mavericks list Finney-Smith as questionable for Tuesday's Game 5 matchup with the Clippers due to a left hip strain and a sore right hip, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

The banged-up Mavericks have ruled out Kristaps Porzingis (knee) for a second straight contest, so Finney-Smith's status will take on an added layer of importance in Game 5. While Finney-Smith hasn't lit up the box score with averages of 9.0 points, 5.5 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.5 three-pointers and 1.3 steals in 31.8 minutes through four contests, he's played a critical part in limiting Clippers star Paul George to 29 percent shooting from the field during the series. A final word on Finney-Smith's availability should come no later than 8:30 p.m. ET, when the Mavericks will go through warmups in advance of the 9 p.m. tipoff.

Finney-Smith will start Thursday's game against the Suns, Brad Townsend of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith has logged heavy minutes for the Mavs throughout bubble play, so it wouldn't be surprising if his workload is monitored Thursday with Dallas solidified in the No. 7 spot out West.

Finney Smith (hip) is probable for Thursday's contest against the Suns.

Finney-Smith continues to deal with a sore hip, but chances are that he'll take the floor in the Mavericks' seeding finale. In the bubble, he's averaging 13.5 points, 8.8 rebounds and 2.7 assists in 35.2 minutes.

Finney-Smith (hip) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Blazers.

The Mavericks list Finney-Smith (hip) as probable for Tuesday's game against the Trail Blazers.

Finney-Smith was withheld from Monday's 122-114 win over the Jazz due to a left hip strain, but his absence was likely for maintenance purposes more than anything else. He should settle back into his normal starting role at power forward in the second half of the back-to-back set.

Finney-Smith (hip) is listed as out for Monday's game against Utah due to a strained left hip.

It's unclear if the injury is something of true concern, as the Mavs will also hold out Luka Doncic (ankle) and Kristaps Porzingis (knee) on the first half of a back-to-back. Finney-Smith has logged some heavy minutes in recent games, including 43 in Saturday's overtime win over the Bucks. In that game, he went for a season-high 27 points, to go with 11 boards and five assists.

Finney-Smith (hip) finished with 27 points (10-19 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, five assists and one block in 43 minutes during Saturday's 136-132 overtime win against the Bucks.

Finney-Smith had been listed as questionable due to a hip injury but ultimately was able to give it a go. Not only did he play through the ailment, he put together a career night, pouring in career highs in scoring, made threes and minutes. Finney-Smith was absolutely fantastic on both ends, doing his best to keep Giannis Antetokounmpo in check while making a major impact offensively.

Finney-Smith (hip) has been cleared to play against the Bucks on Saturday.

Finney-Smith is questionable for Saturday's game against the Bucks due to a strained left hip.

Finney-Smith posted 16 points (4-13 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 16 rebounds and one assist in 41 minutes during Tuesday's 114-110 overtime victory over the Kings.

Finney-Smith grabbed a career-high 16 boards Tuesday, smashing his previous record of 12. And while he wasn't able to get his shot going from the field, his aggressiveness helped him get to the charity stripe enough to make seven free-throws, saving his offensive efficiency.

Finney-Smith (hip) is been cleared to play and will start in Friday's matchup with the Rockets.

Finney-Smith sat out the Mavericks final exhibition game before the NBA bubble restart due to a hip issue, but it looks like the team was just erring on the side of caution. He will start alongside Kristaps Porzingis in the frontcourt, as Dallas will look to match the Rockets' small-ball.

Finney-Smith (hip) is out for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets, Dwain Price of the Mavericks' official site reports.

Finney-Smith returned to action Tuesday following a two-game absence, but he's feeling some soreness after 38 minutes on the court. In his absence, plus the absence of Kristaps Porzingis (rest), Maxi Kleber and Justin Jackson are strong candidates to see extra minutes.

Finney-Smith (hip) is questionable for Wednesday's contest against the Nuggets.

Finney-Smith returned from a two-game absence Tuesday, playing 38 minutes. However, he's apparently feeling sore and might sit out on the second night of a back-to-back.

Finney-Smith (hip) played 38 minutes and finished with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds and one steal Tuesday in the Mavericks' 119-109 loss to the Spurs.

Back in action following a two-game absence due to a hip injury, Finney-Smith immediately stepped back into a starting role at power forward, bumping Maxi Kleber to the bench. Finney-Smith's ability to handle a hefty minutes load suggests the injury is firmly in the rear-view mirror, though the forward shouldn't be expected to score at this sort of rate moving forward. He's averaging 9.3 points per game on the season.

Finney-Smith will start Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

After a two-game absence, Finney-Smith is back in the starting lineup, sending Maxi Kleber to the bench. Since the start of February, Finney-Smith is averaging 9.7 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.2 assists in 29.7 minutes.

Finney-Smith (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.

Finney-Smith (hip) is questionable for Sunday's contest against the Pacers.

Finney-Smith will miss his first game of the season Friday as he deals with a right hip injury. In his absence, Justin Jackson and Courtney Lee could see extra minutes.

Finney-Smith (hip) will be a game-time decision for Friday's game against Memphis, Brad Townsend of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Finney-Smith's (hip) injury is likely to be a day-to-day issue, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Finney-Smith suffered the injury during Wednesday's win over the Pelicans, and it seems like he's avoided something long-term. More information may arrive in the coming days, with the Mavericks' next game arriving Friday against the Grizzlies. Tentatively, Finney-Smith should be considered questionable for that contest.

Finney-Smith (hip) won't return to Wednesday's game against the Pelicans.

Finney-Smith suffered the injury during the first half and was initially questionable to return, but he won't end up retaking the court. He had two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in nine minutes and shold be considered questionable for Friday's matchup with the Grizzlies.

Finney-Smith is questionable to return after suffering a right hip injury during Wednesday's tilt with the Pelicans, Tim MacMahon of ESPN.com reports.

Finney-Smith left Wednesday's game at the start of the second quarter with an unspecified hip issue. In the event he's unable to return, look for the team to publicize more information about the injury once Finney-Smith's been fully assessed by medical staff.

Finney-Smith posted 18 points (7-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and three assists in 32 minutes during Monday's 109-107 loss to the Bulls.

Finney-Smith was extremely efficient offensively, and he provided his third-best scoring total of the season. He combined for 27 points (on 16 field-goal attempts), 18 boards, seven dimes, two steals and one block across 63 minutes during this back-to-back set to start the month of March, and Finney-Smith and company will have just one day of rest in advance of Wednesday's matchup versus the Pelicans.

Finney-Smith finished with nine points (4-6 FG, 1-2 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 31 minutes during Sunday's 111-91 win over the Timberwolves.

Finney-Smith collected no shortage of counting stats, stepping up with Luka Doncic (thumb) sidelined to provide a well-rounded line. Finney-Smith clearly isn't a consistent source of scoring, but he and the rest of this teammates tend to have more opportunities to make plays for themselves and others when Doncic is out. As such, if Doncic doesn't play during Monday's matchup versus the Bulls, Finney-Smith might make for a decent option in daily formats.

Finney-Smith had 14 points (5-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three blocks, two steals and one assist over 35 minutes in Wednesday's 109-103 win against San Antonio.

Finney-Smith's production has been slightly inconsistent over the season, but he managed to record his first double-digit point total since Feb. 8. The 26-year-old didn't have his highest shot volume Wednesday, but he was efficient in his opportunities as he converted on 71.4 percent of his field goal attempts. Finney-Smith is averaging 9.2 points and 5.6 rebounds per game this season.

Finney-Smith registered 15 points (4-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, four assists and one block in 32 minutes during Monday's 112-103 win at Indiana.

Finney-Smith followed his 22-point effort with a double-double, although this was just the third time he grabs double-digit points and rebounds in the same game this season. He seems to be getting more touches due to the absence of Luka Doncic (ankle), and he could see an uptick in his numbers while the Slovenian guard remains out. Finney-Smith has also scored in double digits in three straight contests.

Finney-Smith went for 22 points (7-13 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block in 29 minutes during Saturday's 123-100 win over the Hawks.

Finney-Smith hasn't been one of the Mavericks' main scoring threats this season, but he embraced a bigger role considering neither Luka Doncic (ankle) nor Kristaps Porzingis (rest) were available and topped the 20-point mark just for the second time in the current campaign. That said, he has scored in double digits just three times in his last seven games, and his scoring figures have been wildly inconsistent. He could retain a slightly higher-than-normal upside while Doncic remains out, but for the most part, his upside will be limited outside of deeper formats.

Finney-Smith recorded 11 points (3-5 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), 10 rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 32 minutes during the Mavericks' 133-125 win over Portland on Thursday night.

It was the second double-double of the year for Finney-Smith, who has progressively gained playing time throughout the year. He is averaging nearly 11 points and six rebounds over 33 minutes per game in the month of January.

Finney-Smith finished with just six points, three assists and one rebound in 27 minutes during Tuesday's 124-99 victory over Golden State.

Finney-Smith matched Luka Doncic, playing a team-high 27 minutes. However, unlike Doncic, Finney-Smith was unable to put up even a semi-respectable level of production. He has been seeing big minutes on a nightly basis and is the 85th ranked player over the past two weeks. He is fine to add in a standard league but there is basically no upside and performances such as this are certainly not uncommon.

Finney-Smith provided 16 points (7-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 32 minutes during Saturday's 109-91 win over the 76ers.

Finney-Smith has reached double figures in scoring in four of the last five games. Moreover, despite his limitations Finney-Smith is one of the team's top players along the wing and continues to earn plenty of minutes thanks to his ability to defend, rebound, hit the three and finish at the rim.

Finney-Smith missed Saturday's practice with a hip flexor injury, freelance writer Eddie Sefko reports.

Finney-Smith was given a break from practice after apparently tweaking something in his hip during Friday's game against the Bucks. Considering the fact that Finney-Smith was able to play 20 minutes Friday, it doesn't appear that the injuries anything to get too concerned about. That said, he can be considered day-to-day moving forward and could miss Monday's game against Oklahoma City.
