Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) will be active on Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets. He missed the last game before the All-Star break due to ankle soreness. Finney-Smith has been a solid addition to the Lakers rotation, but his fantasy stock has significantly dropped since his move to Los Angeles. The 31-year-old has been limited to 6.0 points and 3.0 rebounds in 25.2 minutes with his new squad. On Wednesday, Finney-Smith may have a larger role in the proceedings if
LeBron James (foot) cannot play. The Lakers have listed James as questionable for the matchup.

Dorian Finney-Smith (ankle) has been ruled out ahead of Wednesday's game against the Utah Jazz. He is nursing an ankle issue, so the Lakers have decided to hold him out during the final game before the All-Star break. His absence should free up additional playing time for
Dalton Knecht,
Shake Milton, and
Jarred Vanderbilt. None of them are great streaming choices, but Knecht probably has the most upside out of the three. Fantasy managers should expect Finney-Smith to be back in the rotation after the break.

Dorian Finney-Smith (shoulder) will not play on Thursday against the Washington Wizards. He has been downgraded from questionable to out. The Lakers are pretty banged up right now, meaning the likes of
Dalton Knecht,
Jarred Vanderbilt, and
Cam Reddish will need to take on additional responsibility. Finney-Smith's first chance to make a comeback will be on Saturday against the New York Knicks.

Dorian Finney-Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Thursday's matchup against the Washington Wizards. The versatile veteran hurt his right shoulder on Tuesday against the Philadelphia 76ers. Finney-Smith's injury has come at an unfortunate time for the Lakers, as he's an option to cover some of
Anthony Davis' (abdomen) minutes. If Finney-Smith can't play on Thursday, the responsibility will primarily fall on the shoulders of
Jarred Vanderbilt and
Jaxson Hayes.
Christian Koloko is also an option to log minutes at center.
