McDaniels logged 27 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight boards, four steals and three blocks in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Mavericks. The fifth-year forward was the x-factor in his team's narrow victory, finishing the game as the team leader in points, rebounds, steals and blocks (tied with Rudy Gobert). His 27 points also marked a new career high. His efficiency from the field and defensive contributions were just the cherries on top of this career-best fantasy performance. He'll look to stay hot Saturday against the Nuggets.

Jaden McDaniels Latest News
Big game with career-high 27 points
McDaniels logged 27 points (10-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight boards, four steals and three blocks in 40 minutes during Wednesday's 115-114 win over the Mavericks. The fifth-year forward was the x-factor in his team's narrow victory, finishing the game as the team leader in points, rebounds, steals and blocks (tied with Rudy Gobert). His 27 points also marked a new career high. His efficiency from the field and defensive contributions were just the cherries on top of this career-best fantasy performance. He'll look to stay hot Saturday against the Nuggets.
Posts double-double
McDaniels produced 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt), 11 rebounds, one assist, two blocks and two steals over 42 minutes during Monday's 108-106 loss to the Grizzlies. McDaniels recorded his third double-double of the season Monday, but his impact went beyond what he accomplished as a scorer and rebounder since he also delivered a combined four steals-plus-blocks. McDaniels seems to be trending in the right direction as a scoring weapon as well, and he's tallied double-digit points in five of his last six appearances.
Makes defensive impact Monday
McDaniels racked up eight points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one block across 30 minutes during Monday's 120-106 victory over the Wizards. Although McDaniels didn't make a major impact in the scoring department Monday, he came down with eight boards and a swat to give the Wolves a boost on the defensive end of the floor. The 24-year-old forward remains a locked-in starter in Minnesota, and he's a solid source of defensive stats while averaging 11.3 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.4 steals, 0.9 blocks and 1.7 threes across his last seven outings.
Hits three triples
McDaniels ended with 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 108-106 win over the Clippers. For the fourth time this season, McDaniels knocked down at least three triples. While this was a decent showing, McDaniels has been a little underwhelming in recent outings -- over his last 10 games, he's barely been a top-150 player in nine-category formats with averages of 8.8 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.
Double-double in win
McDaniels closed with 12 points (6-12 FG, 0-4 3Pt), 10 rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Sunday's 112-110 victory over San Antonio. McDaniels has struggled as of late but made an impact against San Antonio by scoring in double figures for the first time in four games while also crashing the glass and battling Victor Wembanyama in the paint.
Posts decent stat line Saturday
McDaniels closed with 10 points (4-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, two assists and one steal in 35 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 loss to Golden State. McDaniels was one of six Timberwolves players in double scoring figures, and he's now managed to hit double-digit points in six of his last nine games despite Saturday's inefficient shooting display. Over this stretch, McDaniels is averaging 10.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers per game. The 24-year-old forward's impact on the floor is more noticeable in the intangible areas outside the box score as Minnesota's top perimeter defender, so while he doesn't play a big role offensively, McDaniels' disruptive defense can translate to plenty of defensive counters for fantasy managers.
Double-doubles in victory
McDaniels chipped in 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and four steals in 28 minutes during Sunday's 106-92 victory over the Spurs. McDaniels recorded a season-high 11 rebounds as he posted his first double-double of the campaign. He's having a strong December so far, posting averages of 10.5 points, 5.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 2.2 steals, 0.5 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in his last six appearances.
Efficient in win over Lakers
McDaniels had 18 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and five steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 97-87 win over the Lakers. This was McDaniels' fourth time in which he surpassed the 15-point plateau this season, but it will go down as one of his most efficient performances on both ends of the court. Aside from missing just four shots from the field, he also ended one board away from a double-double while also notching a season-high mark in steals. McDaniels has scored in double digits in four of his last six appearances, averaging 10.3 points, 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.5 steals per game in that span.
Records two steals
McDaniels posted nine points (4-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes during Sunday's 114-106 loss to the Warriors. Despite seeing 30.0 minutes per contest, McDaniels finds himself on pace to finish just outside the top-150 valuation in nine-category fantasy formats. He's averaging 9.9 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.2 three-pointers, but he's hitting just 44.0 percent from the field and 69.2 percent from the free throw line.
