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.

Impact Despite seeing 30.0 minutes per contest, McDaniels finds himself on pace to finish just outside the top-150 valuation in nine-category 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.

Impact 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, averaging 10.8 points per game to go with 1.2 three-pointers and 2.1 combined steals and blocks. Despite the sub-par 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Impact 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.

Does it all in win McDaniels finished with nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 33 minutes during Saturday's 112-101 win over Toronto.

Impact McDaniels' 4-for-5 shooting performance from the field marks his most efficient night of the season. The 24-year-old was able to do a little bit of everything in the win, and he played 30-plus minutes for the first time this season. McDaniels is the clear starter at small forward in front of Joe Ingles, though his fantasy value is reliant on his defense and efficiency.

Cleared for Tuesday McDaniels (rest) is available for Tuesday's regular-season opener against the Lakers.

Impact McDaniels was one of the many rotation players who got the night off Thursday in Minnesota's final preseason game, but he'll be a full go for Opening Night. The Washington product started 71 of his 72 regular-season appearances a year ago, averaging 10.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 0.9 steals in 29.2 minutes per game.

Scores 17 in preseason win McDaniels finished with 17 points (6-8 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists and a block across 24 minutes in Friday's 121-111 preseason win over the 76ers.

Impact McDaniels played a team-high 24 minutes in this preseason contest, the same as Donte DiVincenzo and Anthony Edwards, and he was one of three starters who surpassed the 15-point plateau, with Edwards and Naz Reid being the others. McDaniels is set to open the season as the Timberwolves starting small forward after a 2023-24 playoff run in which he averaged 12.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game across 16 postseason contests.

Efficient in Game 3 defeat McDaniels contributed 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 32 minutes during Sunday's 116-107 loss to Dallas in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.

Impact McDaniels hasn't been getting enough offensive touches compared to how good he's been in the series, as the Timberwolves continue to rely on the struggling duo of Anthony Edwards and Karl-Anthony Towns. At the same time, McDaniels has scored 15 or more points in two of three games in the series. He's shooting 55.2 percent from the field in the three losses against Dallas, and it wouldn't be shocking if he gets more touches on offense in Game 4 on Tuesday.

Impact McDaniels carried the Timberwolves in scoring and delivered another impressive outing, as he seems to have carried the momentum of the series against the Nuggets into this matchup. McDaniels has now scored at least 20 points in three straight games -- a personal-best mark -- while shooting 68.6 percent from the field, so it wouldn't be shocking if he has a more prominent role as a scoring weapon in Game 2 on Friday.
