Hawks' Dorian Finney-Smith: Traded to Atlanta
The Hornets traded Finney-Smith to the Hawks on Tuesday in exchange for Buddy Hield and Ryan Nembhard, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Finney-Smith has now been traded twice this offseason after Houston shipped him to Charlotte in a salary-dump move. The veteran forward has been a solid defender and floor spacer in his career, but he struggled mightily, mostly due to injuries, during his brief tenure with the Rockets. In Atlanta, Finney-Smith will compete for a reserve role, limiting his fantasy appeal.

Hornets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Traded to Charlotte
The Rockets are trading Finney-Smith to the Hornets along with three second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
This is a pure salary dump by the Rockets. Finney-Smith is coming off a down season, but he has a strong track record of being a plus defender and floor spacer. Presumably, the Hornets will be eyeing him as a potential rotation player off the bench.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Scoreless in eight minutes
Finney-Smith registered zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across eight minutes during Friday's 98-78 loss to the Lakers in Game 6 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Finney-Smith was used sparingly during his first campaign with the Rockets, and injuries limited him to 37 regular-season appearances. He averaged just 3.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists, shooting 33.3 percent from the field in 16.8 minutes per contest.

Finney-Smith provided two points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and one block across 19 minutes during Sunday's 115-96 victory over the Lakers in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Finney-Smith was one of three players for Houston's second unit to log 19 minutes. The veteran forward has made just two appearances during the first four games of the series and has averaged 1.0 points and 2.5 rebounds.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Exits rotation Friday
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.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: 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.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Sitting out Wednesday
Finney-Smith is out for Wednesday's game against Denver due to left ankle injury management.
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.
