Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will remain sidelined for Monday's game against Golden State. A left ankle sprain took Finney-Smith out of the lineup for Sunday's matchup against Sacramento, and Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez has already confirmed that Finney-Smith will not be returning to the lineup versus the Warriors. Noah Clowney and Ziaire Williams will likely receive more playing time during Finney-Smith's absence. Both players have upside but haven't been performing on a consistent level, making them risky fantasy plays.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be available on Friday against Philadelphia. He was listed as questionable on the initial injury report, was then upgraded to probable, and has now received a further upgrade to available. Finney-Smith has put in solid all-around work as a starter this season, and it should continue on Friday. The 31-year-old averages 12.0 points and 4.3 rebounds for the month, with red-hot 54.8 percent shooting from deep.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) was listed as questionable while he deals with a left ankle sprain, but has since been upgraded to probable ahead of Friday's tip-off. Finney-Smith will continue to start against the struggling Philadelphia 76ers as he's been in the starting five even while fighting ankle issues. So far this season, he averages 11.2 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 1.0 steals per game, and has been viable in deeper category fantasy leagues.

Per Dave McMenamin of ESPN, Los Angeles Lakers forwardRui Hachimura(ankle) will not suit up against the Orlando Magic on Thursday. Hachimura has missed four consecutive contests due to a sprained right ankle. With the 26-year-old out, Dalton Knecht will remain a strong fantasy option as he posted 37 points, five rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 124-118 win over the Jazz.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is questionable for Friday's matchup with the 76ers. The 31-year-old had a solid showing in Tuesday's win over the Charlotte Hornets, amassing 15 points and shooting 80% from behind the arc. But if the ankle sprain keeps him off the court on Friday night, Noah Clowney and Jalen Wilson could see more work. However, neither player has been a consistent fantasy producer this season.
