Finney-Smith is unlikely to be ready at start, so expect at least a few weeks of absence. Houston will lean on Smith, Eason, and Reed Sheppard for shooting and defense. His 3-point volume will be noticeably lower early, pushing the Rockets to rely on younger wings and role players; if he returns mid-November, his outside shot could re-stabilize the spacing around Amen Thompson.
