Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Friday's matchup against the New York Knicks. He has not played in the previous two contests because of left knee inflammation, and the injury will hold him out for another game. Noah Clowney is expected to continue to remain in the starting lineup and receive a heavy workload again, after playing at least 35 minutes in two consecutive games. Sunday's meeting against the Philadelphia 76ers will be the only opportunity for Finney-Smith to play again this season, as the Nets have been eliminated from playoff contention.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is ruled out ahead of Sunday's clash with the Sacramento Kings. He logged 24 minutes in Saturday's win over the Detroit Pistons. However, the veteran will sit this one out because of a knee issue. With Cameron Johnson (toe) also sidelined versus the Kings, Noah Clowney, Jalen Wilson, and Trendon Watford should all see more minutes. Yet, Clowney, coming off a 17-point showing, may have the highest potential for DFS managers.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will come out of the lineup Thursday versus Milwaukee. He's played through an ankle issue for several weeks but won't be able to go on Thursday, missing his first game since Feb. 8. His absence is set to give Cameron Johnson a chance to shine. Johnson has done well coming off the bench, but a bigger role and more minutes as a starter will increase his fantasy value. The 28-year-old has recorded 14.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2.6 assists as a member of the first unit in 2023-24.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been upgraded from questionable to available for Tuesday's clash with New Orleans. The 30-year-old hasn't missed any games since Feb. 10 and is once again ready to go despite dealing with a sore left ankle. Finney-Smith is coming off a 38-minute shift against San Antonio, during which he posted eight points, seven rebounds, one assist, four steals, and one block. He typically chips in across the board and should do so again versus the Pelicans.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is questionable heading into Tuesday's meeting with New Orleans. The 30-year-old logged 38 minutes in the loss to the Spurs on Sunday, finishing with eight points, seven boards, four steals, and one block. But he's in danger of missing his first game since February 8. If Finney-Smith is available against the Pelicans, fantasy managers should consider him a high-upside DFS value option. But if he's not, Cameron Johnson would presumably return to the starting lineup, with Trendon Watford and Jalen Wilson in line for a few minutes off the bench.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will play against San Antonio on Sunday. He's been battling left ankle soreness, but the team has upgraded Finney-Smith from probable to available. The 30-year-old is enjoying a good month and should have a productive evening against an up-tempo team that usually struggles defensively. Finney-Smith has averaged 11.3 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.1 steals in March.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) is still out for Thursday's matchup with the Cleveland Cavaliers. A sprained left ankle will keep Finney-Smith sidelined for a sixth consecutive game, but he remains day-to-day and will target a return for Saturday's clash with San Antonio Spurs in the fourth game of Brooklyn's five-game homestand. Royce O'Neale is on the move to the desert on Thursday, so the Nets may have to give Ben Simmons more run than they'd like to following his long layoff with back problems. Since Spencer Dinwiddie was sent north of the border as well, Simmons should function as the primary facilitator in the starting lineup but still faces a possible playing-time cap after logging just 20 minutes in Tuesday's defeat to the Dallas Mavericks. That makes him a risky DFS play in a difficult draw against a Cleveland group giving up the third-fewest points per game (109.6) in 2023-24.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) remains out for Tuesday's game versus the Dallas Mavericks. Head coach Jacque Vaughn said on Monday that Finney-Smith is day-to-day, so the forward will look to return from a five-game absence with a sprained left ankle when the Nets host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday for the third outing of their current five-game homestand. DFS hasn't been the most useful from a fantasy standpoint, but his absence vacates 28.8 minutes per night. Cameron Johnson (adductor) is also sidelined on Tuesday, leaving Royce O'Neale as Brooklyn's primary three-and-D presence off the bench. Ben Simmons could also pick up some extra run, depending on his minutes limitations.

Brooklyn Nets forwards Dorian Finney-Smith and Royce O'Neale are two of three players seemingly on the trade block ahead of the NBA's trade deadline on February 8. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the Nets are listening to offers on both of their veteran forwards and Spencer Dinwiddie. They're expected to look for deals on just these three vets while the rest of the roster is expected to stay in Brooklyn at least until this offseason. Finney-Smith and O'Neale are two prototypical 3-and-D wings that many playoff contenders could use. It's unclear right now what the Nets are expecting in return and whether or not it would be a package of picks plus younger players or one of the two.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't play Saturday against Philadelphia. The 30-year-old sprained his left ankle a week ago in a clash with the Rockets and has sat out two games already. Lonnie Walker IV has seen a big boost in playing time off the bench over the last couple of games, while the rest of the Nets starters are also counted on more without Finney-Smith. The veteran appears to be progressing well, as Finney-Smith started running again on Friday.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) won't play on Monday versus Utah. Finney-Smith sprained his left ankle versus Houston on Saturday, leaving the Nets without a very versatile piece of the rotation. However, the team will have Cameron Johnson (personal) back in the fold on Monday, and Ben Simmons (back) is expected to play, so the void left will be filled by committee.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith has been upgraded from probable to available for Tuesday's road matchup against the New Orleans Pelicans. Finney-Smith continues to experience soreness in his left knee, which would seem to threaten his availability for the second leg of Brooklyn's back-to-back on Wednesday versus the Houston Rockets. The 30-year-old three-and-D specialist tends to be a low-end fantasy option, providing 10.2 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 2.4 treys per game on a career-high 43.0% clip from three-point land in his first full year with the Nets during 2023-24. With Ben Simmons (hip) on the shelf for the majority of the campaign, Finney-Smith has spent more time as a small-ball five than he ever has in his career behind starter Nicolas Claxton.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is currently listed as probable heading into Tuesday's game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Finney-Smith has been dealing with knee issues for weeks, but has been able to play through it on most nights. It's worth noting that Tuesday's game is the front end of a back-to-back set. That means, Finney-Smith might not be available on Wednesday. Fantasy managers will have to check back on Tuesday to see if he's cleared to go for the first game.

Brooklyn Nets forward/center Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is expected to remain in the lineup Saturday versus Golden State. He's been playing through left knee soreness this month and is listed as probable for Saturday's contest. Finney-Smith has had a good season in Brooklyn, but his productivity has dropped recently after he was taken out of the starting lineup. In the past five games, he's averaged 8.8 points in 24.2 minutes with 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals. The Warriors allow the second-fewest bench points in the league, so Finney-Smith will likely find it tough to make a big mark on Saturday.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (knee) is available for Thursday's game against the Denver Nuggets. The veteran forward was a game-time call coming into this game due to left knee soreness. However, it appears Finney-Smith has been cleared to suit up. He has been playing well lately with eight points or more in each of his last five games. He could be worth a look as a dart throw in DFS contests as a cheap option for Thursday's slate.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (foot, knee) is questionable for Saturday's game against the red-hot Orlando Magic. The veteran was added to the injury report on Saturday because of right foot and knee soreness. However, with Royce O'Neale (hip) back in the lineup after missing a game, he may benefit the most if DFS doesn't suit up.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith is excited to start his first full season with the team. "There's been love there," Finney-Smith told Marc Davis of WTKR. "I can't wait to get started. Last year was a little wild, my first time getting traded, but I'm happy it's to Brooklyn." After spending his entire NBA career with the Dallas Mavericks, Finney-Smith was traded to the Nets last February in the Kyrie Irving deal. The 30-year-old struggled offensively on his new team, shooting only 35.1 percent from the field and averaging 7.2 points. Finney-Smith should do a lot better in that department when he's had a full training camp to gel with his new teammates.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith is about to enter his eighth season in the NBA after just turning 30. According to Matt Moore of Action Network, that hasn't deterred any contending teams from calling the Nets about a trade. He's had quite the inconsistent three-point shot recently, but his 3-and-D prototype is something that the upper-echelon teams could always use. While the Nets are in weird territory after trading a lot of their picks, they could use this leverage to get a higher pick in the upcoming draft on Thursday.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (finger) underwent successful surgery to correct a contracture of the right pinkie finger. Luckily, the 29-year-old underwent surgery less than a week after the Nets season ended. That being said, Finney-Smith should have plenty of time to recover before training camp. The organization mentioned that Finney-Smith should be cleared for offseason workouts in six weeks. He averaged 8.3 points, 4.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists in 66 games between the Dallas Mavericks and Nets. He'll likely be a late-round option in standard leagues heading into next season.

Brooklyn Nets forward Dorian Finney-Smith (wrist) will not play Wednesday versus the Detroit Pistons. Finney-Smith suffered a wrist contusion in his shooting hand and will sit out on the second night of a back-to-back. Royce O'Neale and Cameron Johnson should see an increased amount of minutes against Detroit. Joe Harris and Yuta Watanabe should also see extra minutes Wednesday.
