Dorian Finney-Smith's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia. The 30-year-old sprained his left ankle a week ago in a clash with the Rockets and has sat out two games already. Lonnie Walker IV has seen a big boost in playing time off the bench over the last couple of games, while the rest of the Nets starters are also counted on more without Finney-Smith. The veteran appears to be progressing well, as Finney-Smith started running again on Friday.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't play on Monday versus Utah. Finney-Smith sprained his left ankle versus Houston on Saturday, leaving the Nets without a very versatile piece of the rotation. However, the team will have Cameron Johnson (personal) back in the fold on Monday, and Ben Simmons (back) is expected to play, so the void left will be filled by committee.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday's road matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Finney-Smith continues to experience soreness in his left knee, which would seem to threaten his availability for the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets. The 30-year-old three-and-D specialist tends to be a low-end fantasy option, providing 10.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.4 treys per game on a career-high 43.0% clip from three-point land in his first full year with the Nets during 2023-24. With Ben Simmons (hip) on the shelf for the majority of the campaign, Finney-Smith has spent more time as a small-ball five than he ever has in his career behind starter Nicolas Claxton.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is currently listed as probable heading into Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Finney-Smith has been dealing with knee issues for weeks, but has been able to play through it on most nights. It's worth noting that Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set. That means, Finney-Smith might not be available on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday to see if he's cleared to go for the first game.
