Impact 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.

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

Continues productive scoring run 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.
Impact 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 suggest 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.
