Finney-Smith (coach's decision) went unused off the bench Friday in the Rockets' 119-109 win over the Grizzlies. Since completing his recovery from offseason left ankle surgery and making his Rockets debut Dec. 25, Finney-Smith has failed to rediscover his shooting touch. The 10th-year forward has converted at a lowly 31.7 percent rate from the field and 26.9 percent from three-point range over his 35 appearances, and his continued shooting struggles appear to have resulted in him falling out of the rotation. Head coach Ime Udoka turned to Tari Eason and Jae'Sean Tate to play reserve minutes at forward Friday while Finney-Smith and Josh Okogie were both phased out.

Dorian Finney-Smith: Breaking News
Fails to score Monday
Finney-Smith recorded zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across eight minutes during Monday's 132-124 loss to Chicago. Finney-Smith continues to offer very little in terms of tangible production, having scored no more than five points in 11 of his past 13 appearances. While he does provide Houston with a solid veteran presence, his ability to have an impact on the court is not what it once was. In 34 games this season, he has averaged just 3.1 points in 17.2 minutes.
Starting Friday
Finney-Smith will start Friday versus the Pelicans, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports. This will be the first start of the season for Finney-Smith, who will be joined in the first unit by Amen Thompson, Tari Eason, Kevin Durant and Jabari Smith. Per 36 minutes this season, Finney-Smith owns averages of 6.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.6 triples per contest.
