Finney-Smith accumulated seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 106-102 win over the Clippers. Finney-Smith drew the start with Rui Hachimura (knee) sidelined, but his contribution was minimal during the narrow victory. The team will be even more short-handed if Austin Reaves' (calf) injury proved to be serious. With Hachimura expected to be out for a week, Finney-Smith will likely continue to appear with the first unit for the next few games.

Dorian Finney-Smith Latest News
Posts seven points in spot start
Finney-Smith accumulated seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 106-102 win over the Clippers. Finney-Smith drew the start with Rui Hachimura (knee) sidelined, but his contribution was minimal during the narrow victory. The team will be even more short-handed if Austin Reaves' (calf) injury proved to be serious. With Hachimura expected to be out for a week, Finney-Smith will likely continue to appear with the first unit for the next few games.
Will start Friday vs. Clips
Finney-Smith will start for the Lakers against the Clippers on Friday, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. Finney-Smith has come off the bench in the Lakers' last three games, but he will return to the starting lineup Friday due to the absence of Rui Hachimura (knee). Finney-Smith has averaged 6.5 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals over 26.1 minutes per game with the Lakers this season.
Starting sans Doncic
Finney-Smith is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Portland, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports. With Luka Doncic (calf) getting the night off for the second half of Los Angeles' back-to-back Thursday, Finney-Smith will make his sixth start of the season with the Lakers. Across his five previous starting appearances, the veteran forward has averaged 7.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 0.6 steals in 28.9 minutes. A few extra shots should fall Finney-Smith's way in Doncic's absence.
Strong production off bench
Finney-Smith (ankle) tallied 12 points (4-7 FG, 4-6 3Pt), five rebounds and three assists across 28 minutes in Wednesday's 100-97 loss to the Hornets. Making his return from a one-game absence due to left ankle soreness, Finney-Smith led all Lakers reserves in playing time and paid off for fantasy managers who streamed him for three-pointers, as he came just one triple short of matching a season high. Since being acquired from the Nets on Dec. 29, Finney-Smith is averaging 7.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers, 1.4 assists and 0.8 steals in 25.3 minutes per game over 18 appearances.
Set to play Wednesday
Finney-Smith (ankle) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets, Khobi Price of The Orange County Register reports. Finney-Smith will return to action Wednesday after missing the Lakers' last outing before the All-Star break due to left ankle soreness. Across his previous 10 appearances, the veteran forward averaged 7.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.4 minutes.
Won't go Wednesday
Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Jazz, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports. Finney-Smith will miss Wednesday's contest due to left ankle soreness, and his next opportunity to play will come Feb. 19 against the Hornets. With the 31-year-old forward sidelined, Jarred Vanderbilt and Trey Jemison could see a bump in minutes.
Starting Tuesday
Finney-Smith will start in Tuesday's game against the Clippers, independent NBA writer Justin Russo reports. The veteran forward will receive the starting nod for the third time as a member of the Lakers, adding a bit more size to the starting five with Anthony Davis (abdomen) having been traded to Dallas in exchange for Luka Doncic (calf) on Saturday. Over his last five outings (two starts), Finney-Smith has averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds, 1.6 three-pointers and 1.0 steals across 24.8 minutes per contest. He has also shot 54.5 percent from the field and 44.4 percent from downtown in that five-game span.
Available for Tuesday
Finney-Smith (shoulder) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against the Clippers. Finney-Smith has been upgraded to available after having been listed as questionable due to a right shoulder contusion. Over his last five outings (two starts), the 31-year-old has averaged 6.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals across 24.8 minutes per game.
Questionable against Clippers
Finney-Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports. Finney-Smith is at risk of sitting out Tuesday due to a right shoulder contusion, and the Lakers will likely wait until closer to tipoff to update his status. If the veteran forward cannot play, Jarred Vanderbilt and Dalton Knecht would be slated for additional minutes now that Max Christie is out of the mix.
