McDaniels recorded 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 victory over Utah. Although he's been a consistent presence on the defensive side of the floor all season, fantasy managers have to be particularly pleased with McDaniels' growth as a scorer lately. The 24-year-old forward has scored in double figures in 21 consecutive outings. Over 13 games following the All-Star break, McDaniels has averaged 18.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes.

Jaden McDaniels Latest News
Continues to surge as scorer

McDaniels recorded 20 points (8-13 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 27 minutes during Sunday's 128-102 victory over Utah. Although he's been a consistent presence on the defensive side of the floor all season, fantasy managers have to be particularly pleased with McDaniels' growth as a scorer lately. The 24-year-old forward has scored in double figures in 21 consecutive outings. Over 13 games following the All-Star break, McDaniels has averaged 18.1 points, 8.1 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.7 steals, 0.8 blocks and 1.5 three-pointers in 35.3 minutes.
Strong two-way performance

McDaniels produced 11 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, two blocks and three steals in 32 minutes during Friday's 118-111 win over Orlando. McDaniels continues his breakout season, turning in yet another strong two-way performance. He has been arguably the most consistent player for Minnesota over the past two months. In 29 games during that span, he is averaging 16.2 points, 7.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.6 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.
Season-high four rejections Tuesday

McDaniels registered 17 points (7-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists, four blocks and two steals in 37 minutes during Tuesday's 126-112 victory over the 76ers. It was another dazzling defensive effort from McDaniels, who supplemented his usual pilfers with a season high in rejections. The fifth-year forward has recorded multiple steals in five straight games and seven of the last 10, averaging 17.1 points, 7.4 boards, 2.8 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.3 threes and 0.9 blocks over that span.
Double-double vs. Utah

McDaniels amassed 20 points (9-16 FG, 2-6 3Pt), 10 rebounds, five assists and two steals across 35 minutes during Friday's 117-116 loss to Utah. McDaniels finished second on the Timberwolves in both points and rebounds Friday behind Naz Reid (27 points and 11 rebounds). McDaniels was averaging 10.5 points per game up until Jan. 31, but the fifth-year forward has taken on an increased scoring role as of late. He has recorded three double-doubles over his last four games, and he has averaged 18.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.3 steals over 37.1 minutes per game over his last 10 outings.
Nears double-double in defeat

McDaniels recorded 15 points (6-18 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, two steals and one assist across 37 minutes during Thursday's 111-102 loss to the Lakers. McDaniels finished as the club's third-leading scorer Thursday, though he was fairly inefficient in the loss. Additionally, the fifth-year pro recorded multiple steals for the 25th time this season. The 24-year-old has scored at least 15 points in each of his last five outings, during which he has averaged 20.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.2 steals in 39.6 minutes per game.
Leads big comeback in OT win

McDaniels racked up a team-high 27 points (9-16 FG, 9-9 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and two steals across 42 minutes during Monday's 131-128 overtime win over Oklahoma City. The Timberwolves were down by 22 points heading into the fourth quarter, but McDaniels helped fuel a massive comeback that he capped by scoring five straight points inside the final minute of regulation to force OT. The double-double was his seventh of the season, but four of them have come in February as he's taken full advantage of the absence of Julius Randle (groin), including one in each end of a back-to-back set against the Thunder. Through 11 games in February, McDaniels is averaging 18.6 points, 8.3 boards, 2.9 assists, 1.3 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.0 blocks.
Double-doubles in loss

McDaniels contributed 17 points (5-15 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 13 rebounds, one assist and one block in 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-123 loss to the Thunder. With Donte DiVincenzo (toe), Julius Randle (groin) and Rudy Gobert (neck) all battling injuries, Minnesota is very shorthanded these days. McDaniels has been logging a ton of minutes as a result, and his usage is up as well. Over his last five games, McDaniels has produced averages of 15.8 points, 7.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers.
Hits for 21 in Houston

McDaniels racked up 21 points (7-15 FG, 1-7 3Pt, 6-7 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 42 minutes during Friday's 121-115 loss to the Rockets. The fifth-year forward was productive once again as Julius Randle (groin) remained sidelined coming out of the All-Star break. McDaniels has scored more than 20 points in five of nine February contests, averaging 17.9 points, 7.6 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.4 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks on the month, but his usage figures to decline as soon as Randle is cleared to get back in the lineup.
Hits for 21 in Thursday's win

McDaniels accumulated 21 points (9-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds and five assists in 37 minutes during Thursday's 116-101 victory over the Thunder. The fifth-year forward has found an extra level of consistency in February. McDaniels has scored in double digits in eight straight games to begin the month, averaging 17.5 points, 7.8 boards, 3.0 assists, 1.5 threes, 1.3 steals and 1.1 blocks while shooting 50.0 percent from the floor. His surge in productivity has come while Julius Randle (groin) has been sidelined, and McDaniels will likely see his usage and shot volume decline significantly once Randle is cleared to return.
