Mavericks' Dorian Finney-Smith: Starts at small forward Tuesday

Finney-Smith will start at small forward Tuesday against the Lakers, Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Justin Anderson filled in as the starting small forward Sunday against the Bucks, with Harrison Barnes shifting over to power forward due to Dirk Nowitzki's (Achilles) absence. However, the Mavericks weren't particularly thrilled with Anderson's production, so they'll take a flier on Finney-Smith, who ended up playing 32 minutes off the bench Sunday, in a starting role. The undrafted rookie from Florida isn't likely to see many touches on the offensive end and doesn't figure to produce much in the way of interesting fantasy numbers even if his minutes count remains strong.
