Finney-Smith is out for Wednesday's game against Denver due to left ankle injury management.
EDGE Analysis
Finney-Smith has yet to play both ends of a back-to-back set since making his season debut Dec. 25, so his absence Wednesday doesn't come as a major surprise after he suited up for Tuesday's 113-99 win over the Raptors. He played 21 minutes in the victory, finishing with three points (1-3 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal.

Finney-Smith (ankle) won't play in Thursday's game against the Warriors, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward is sitting out the front end of Houston's back-to-back for injury management, and the expectation is that Finney-Smith will be able to play in Friday's tilt versus Portland. His absence Thursday should lead to a bump in minutes for Josh Okogie and Clint Capela off the bench.

Finney-Smith ended with five points (2-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 123-118 win over the Wizards.
EDGE Analysis
Finney-Smith saw a sizable workload in this win, but he wasn't able to do much damage in the box score. Amen Thompson suffered an ankle issue Monday and Jabari Smith (ankle) is also day-to-day, so Finney-Smith could see a short-term boost in minutes.

Finney-Smith (knee) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Magic.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran forward sat out Wednesday's blowout win over the Kings due to knee injury management. Finney-Smith is ready to handle his typical role off the bench Thursday, but he hasn't yet reached double figures in scoring in any of his 23 appearances.

Finney-Smith (knee) won't play Wednesday against the Kings, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Finney-Smith will receive a rest day on the first leg of this back-to-back set, but he'll return to the floor for Thursday's game in Orlando. Josh Okogie could see some extra minutes with Finney-Smith unavailable, and Jeff Green might be able to get into the rotation.

Finney-Smith (knee) finished Thursday's 105-101 win over the Hornets with eight points (3-7 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 23 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Houston's final game prior to the All-Star break was the second half of a back-to-back, and Finney-Smith sat out that contest for injury maintenance. He was good to go for the first game coming out of the break, and Finney-Smith ended up receiving his largest workload of the season in narrow win. The Rockets are thin in the frontcourt in the wake of Steven Adams' season-ending ankle injury, so Finney-Smith could end up maintaining a 20-plus-minute role moving forward if his play warrants the extra playing time.

Finney-Smith (knee) is off the injury report for Thursday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
Houston's final contest prior to the All-Star break was the second half of a back-to-back, which Finney-Smith sat out, but he's good to go for Thursday and should occupy his usual role off the bench. However, the veteran forward has failed to score at least five points in each of his last seven appearances, diminishing most of his fantasy appeal.

Finney-Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Finney-Smith will be held out for the second leg of the back-to-back set due to left ankle injury management. Finney-Smith played a season-high 20 minutes in Tuesday's 102-95 win over the Clippers, finishing with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one block.

Finney-Smith produced three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one block in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 102-95 victory over the Clippers.
EDGE Analysis
Finney-Smith scored fewer than five points for the seventh straight game, despite the fact that he has carved out a somewhat consistent role. In 12 appearances over the past month, he has averaged just 3.1 points in 16.1 minutes, leaving him well and truly off the fantasy radar.
