'Dangerous Doe': Dorian Finney-Smith Shooting Mavs to New Heights Spencer Dinwiddie was the Dallas Mavericks’ leading scorer in a comeback win over the Sacramento Kings, but it was Dorian Finney-Smith who s...
Drains five threes Saturday 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.
Impact 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.

Flirts with double-double 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.
Impact Finney-Smith has been an invaluable contributor in the paint since Kristaps Porzingis' departure. He's now averaging 5.6 boards in seven games since the Feb. 10 trade deadline, while also chipping in 2.3 treys and 1.0 steals over that span. Finney-Smith doesn't offer much upside, but he's a decent option to fill out a 12-team roster for fantasy managers who are looking for aid in the three-pointers and steals categories.

Flirts with triple-double in win 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.
Impact 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.

Knocks down four treys 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.
Impact 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.

Plays role to perfection in win 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.
Impact Finney-Smith capped off what was a great day, agreeing to a four-year, $52 million extension shortly after the trade deadline passed before chipping in across the board as the Mavericks held off the Clippers. The extension locks Finney-Smith in as a key piece for Dallas moving forward, and the team's decision to deal Kristaps Porzingis should allow the former to deliver back-end value in 12-team leagues the rest of the way. Finney-Smith's fantasy profile isn't an exciting one, but he's his high-minute role should allow him to put up useful rebound, three-pointer and steal totals on a regular basis.

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

Surpasses 40-minute mark Sunday 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.
Impact 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).

Pedestrian in loss 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.
Impact 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.

All-around performance in win 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.
Impact 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.
