Lakers' Dorian Finney-Smith: Another tough outing post-trade
Finney-Smith provided three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 24 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers.
Finney-Smith has yet to make an impact since being traded to the Lakers. The defensive-minded forward has hit only two shots with Los Angeles, going 2-for-10 from the field in the two games he's played for his new squad. It's not uncommon for a player to struggle after being traded, but he'll have to turn it around quickly if JJ Redick is going to depend on him for a boost off the bench on both ends of the floor.

Lakers' Dorian Finney-Smith: Cleared to play Tuesday
Finney-Smith (recently traded) will make his debut with the Lakers on Tuesday against the Cavaliers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Finney-Smith will come off the bench but likely play starter minutes and potentially be a game-changer for Los Angeles defensively. He shot 43.5 percent from deep on 5.4 attempts per game for the Nets before being traded, which would both be career-high marks for the veteran forward.

Lakers' Dorian Finney-Smith: Bench role with new team
Finney-Smith will come off the bench for the Lakers, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Finney-Smith should give the Lakers a much-needed boost off the bench, especially regarding the defensive side of the floor. The veteran forward can help stretch the floor with his outside shooting, which is also sorely needed in Los Angeles. He shot 43.5 percent from deep on 5.4 attempts per game for the Nets before being traded and is trending toward making his Lakers debut against the Cavaliers on Tuesday.

Lakers' Dorian Finney-Smith: Bound for L.A.
The Lakers acquired Finney-Smith and guard Shake Milton from the Nets on Sunday in exchange for guard D'Angelo Russell, forward Maxwell Lewis and three future second-round draft picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Finney-Smith has been in the center of trade rumors for the early part of the season, and the Lakers were able to put together an enticing enough offer for the Nets to part ways with the veteran forward. In his 20 appearances with Brooklyn, Finney-Smith had averaged 10.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 2.4 three-pointers, 1.6 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.6 blocks in 29.0 minutes per contest. The 31-year-old may not be in store for a starting role in Los Angeles like he held in Brooklyn, but his ability to play both forward spots and serve as a small-ball center while shooting the three-point ball at a high clip (35.9 percent career mark) should at the very least make him a versatile piece off the bench for the Lakers. His first chance to suit up with his new team will come Tuesday against the Cavaliers.

Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Grabs nine boards in return
Finney-Smith (calf) finished with two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT) and nine rebounds over 27 minutes in Friday's 96-87 loss to the Spurs.
The Nets were down seven players Friday due to either injury or rest, but Finney-Smith's return from a three-game absence at least helped fill some of the vacated minutes. Finney-Smith wasn't particularly effective during his time on the court, however, and he handled a meager 13.4 percent usage rate while Keon Johnson and Shake Milton stepped in as the primary hubs on offense in the absences of Ben Simmons (back), Cameron Johnson (hip) and Cam Thomas (hamstring). All three of those players could be back for Sunday's game against the Magic, but Finney-Smith's playing time shouldn't be too affected, as he holds a relatively stable role as a 3-and-D forward.

Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Available Friday
Finney-Smith (calf) is listed as available for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Finney-Smith will return to action after a three-game absence due to a left calf contusion. It is unclear whether the 31-year-old will operate under a minutes restriction, but if he does, Noah Clowney could see an increased role. Over his last five outings, Finney-Smith has averaged 11.0 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists across 29.8 minutes per contest.

Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Questionable Friday
Finney-Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Spurs.
Finney-Smith was a late scratch for the first leg of the club's back-to-back set in Thursday's win over the Bucks due to a left calf contusion. However, the 31-year-old seems to be nearing a return to game action, as he said he felt good before eventually being ruled out Thursday, according to Brian Lewis of the New York Post. If Finney-Smith is sidelined, Noah Clowney and Tyrese Martin are candidates for increased roles.

Nets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Leads Brooklyn in scoring Friday
Finney-Smith accumulated 19 points (5-8 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 4-5 FT), five rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 135-119 loss to the Grizzlies.
Finney-Smith is making his presence felt on both ends of the court for the Nets, and the veteran forward filled the stat sheet in this contest while also leading the team in scoring. Even though Finney-Smith has missed six of the Nets' last 10 games, he should continue to have decent fantasy upside as long as he remains healthy. The nine-year veteran has logged 17 appearances with the Nets in 2024-25, averaging a career-high 11.1 points while also adding 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.0 steals across 29.2 minutes per game.
