Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Little output in team debut
Finney-Smith (ankle) was held scoreless (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and committed a foul in 13 minutes during Thursday's 119-96 win over the Lakers.
Making his Rockets debut after missing Houston's first 27 games while completing his recovery from offseason surgery on his left ankle, Finney-Smith was under a strict minutes limit in what was his first game action since April 30. Though he was a plus-2 during his time on the court, Finney-Smith barely made an impact while taking on a minuscule 3.2 percent usage rate. After signing a four-year, $52 million deal with the Rockets in July, Finney-Smith will likely be in line for a greater role once he gets fully ramped up following surgery, but he's expected to continue handling light usage while he shares the floor with the likes of Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson and Kevin Durant. Most of the limited fantasy appeal that Finney-Smith will offer will be as a streaming option for three-pointers.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Cleared for team debut
Finney-Smith (ankle) is available for Thursday's game against the Lakers, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Finney-Smith joined the Rockets on a four-year deal this offseason but hadn't been available for the first 27 games of the season after he underwent surgery in June to address a left ankle injury. The Rockets had been mum on providing updates on his status throughout the season, but Finney-Smith was apparently able to do enough ramp-up work behind the scenes over the past few weeks for the team to sign off on him making his team debut. As Charania notes, Finney-Smith will be operating with a strict minutes limit Thursday, though once he gets fully ramped up, the 32-year-old could end up eating into the playing time of supporting players such as Tari Eason, Clint Capela, Steven Adams, Reed Sheppard and Josh Okogie.

Rockets' Dorian Finney-Smith: Chance to return Christmas Day
Finney-Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Lakers.
Finney-Smith has yet to appear in a game this season as he continues to recover from offseason ankle surgery. The veteran forward was eyeing a January return, but it looks like he's slightly ahead of schedule. If cleared to face the Lakers on Christmas Day, Finney-Smith would likely be under a significant minutes restriction. Still, his return could mean fewer opportunities for Jae'Sean Tate or Josh Okogie.
