Posts career-high 28 points Finney-Smith posted 28 points (10-16 FG, 6-12 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds, three assists and one block in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 120-112 win over the Cavaliers.

Impact After three straight relatively mediocre scoring performances, Finney-Smith erupted for a new career best offensively and reached the 20-point mark for a third time this year.

Posts 14 points in win Finney-Smith registered 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one assist and three steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 110-91 win over the Rockets.

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.

Impact After missing Friday's game at Houston, Finney-Smith was back in the lineup Sunday and finished behind only Luka Doncic's 26 points for the team lead in scoring. The three-and-D Finney-Smith has now scored in double figures in six of his last seven contests.

Cleared for Sunday Finney-Smith (arm) is available for Sunday's contest against the Celtics.

Won't play Friday Finney-Smith (arm) has been ruled out for Friday's game in Houston.

Impact Finney-Smith will miss just his second game of the season Friday due to a right arm contusion. In his absence, Maxi Kleber and Davis Bertans figure to see increased workloads against the Rockets.

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

Impact Finney-Smith has missed just one game this season -- Christmas Day against the Jazz. He's been a reliable two-way contributor for Dallas all season. If he sits out Friday, more minutes could be in store for Davis Bertans and Josh Green.

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.

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.
