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.

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.
Inefficient night Tuesday
McDaniels totaled nine points (4-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 40 minutes during Tuesday's 117-111 overtime loss to the Rockets. McDaniels shot just 25 percent from the floor, adding very little in terms of peripheral numbers. Outside of a few scoring outbursts, it's been a quiet season for McDaniels, who is averaging 10.8 points per game to go with 1.2 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks. Despite the subpar production, McDaniels is locked in as a starter and should continue to find himself in a position to contribute on both ends of the floor.
Tallies season high in defeat
McDaniels registered 22 points (8-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals over 42 minutes during Thursday's 110-105 loss to the Raptors. McDaniels stepped up for Minnesota in Thursday's contest, contributing offensively and on the glass in a well-rounded performance. McDaniels posted a new season high in scoring, surpassing the 20-point mark for the first time this year. Over his last three games, McDaniels has turned his game up a notch while averaging 15.7 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.7 steals per contest.
Grabs three steals in win
McDaniels had 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-4 FT), three rebounds, three steals, two assists and one block in 26 minutes during Sunday's 120-117 victory over the Suns. McDaniels posted his sixth consecutive game with a steal while leading the club with a team high of three. Across the Timberwolves' last six games, the 24-year-old has racked up 15 steals, compared to only four steals in the club's first eight outings. Through 14 regular-season appearances, McDaniels has averaged 10.1 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks across 29.7 minutes per game. While his scoring output is limited, the forward has shot 46.7 percent from the field and continues to stuff the stat sheet.
Season-high 19 points
McDaniels contributed 19 points (6-7 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one block over 33 minutes during Thursday's 135-119 win over the Bulls. McDaniels had scored in single digits in five of his first seven appearances, but he caught fire Thursday and finished with a season-high 19 points. While it's been a slow start offensively for McDaniels, the defensive-minded forward is averaging 1.1 blocks per game through eight appearances, which would be a career high.
Modest production Monday
McDaniels provided nine points (3-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds and two blocks in 22 minutes during Monday's 114-93 victory over the Hornets. McDaniels put together another mediocre performance, continuing his slow start to the season. Despite starting in all seven games, McDaniels is averaging just 8.6 points, 1.1 blocks and 0.9 three-pointers in 27.2 minutes per game. His pre-minute production is less than ideal, something that has plagued him throughout his career.
