Dorian Finney-Smith DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Los Angeles Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be active on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed the last game before the All-Star break due to ankle soreness. Finney-Smith has been a solid addition to the Lakers rotation, but his fantasy stock has significantly dropped since his move to Los Angeles. The 31-year-old has been limited to 6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.2 minutes with his new squad. On Wednesday, Finney-Smith may have a larger role in the proceedings if LeBron James (foot) cannot play. The Lakers have listed James as questionable for the matchup.

Los Angeles Lakers forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He is nursing an ankle issue, so the Lakers have decided to hold him out during the final game before the All-Star break. His absence should free up additional playing time for Dalton Knecht, Shake Milton, and Jarred Vanderbilt. None of them are great streaming choices, but Knecht probably has the most upside out of the three. Fantasy managers should expect Finney-Smith to be back in the rotation after the break.

Los Angeles Lakers forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (shoulder) will not play on Thursday against the Washington Wizards. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The Lakers are pretty banged up right now, meaning the likes of Dalton Knecht, Jarred Vanderbilt, and Cam Reddish will need to take on additional responsibility. Finney-Smith's first chance to make a comeback will be on Saturday against the New York Knicks.
