Edwards scores 29, short-handed Wolves beat Nuggets 124-111

Anthony Edwards scored 29 points, including 15 in the third quarter to help Minnesota withstand a push by Denver, and the Timberwolves held on for a 124-111 win against the Nuggets

Sluggish performance Saturday McDaniels amassed eight points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and three assists over 33 minutes during Saturday's 116-104 loss to the Pistons.

Impact McDaniels and most of his teammates were simply not up to the task Saturday as the Timberwolves fell to the lowly Pistons. After scoring double-digits in seven straight games, McDaniels has now slumped to score a combined 12 points over his past two games. He remains a must-roster player, but managers will undoubtedly be hoping for a return to form sooner rather than later.

Efficient shooting in loss McDaniels totaled 19 points (8-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and two steals in 34 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact McDaniels knocked down 66.7 percent of his field goals and turned in his best scoring performance since Nov. 9 against the Suns. He led his team with nine points in the fourth quarter by shooting 3-for-4 from beyond the arc, and he also added three rebounds and three assists in 12 minutes of action.

Posts solid cross-category line McDaniels finished with 16 points (6-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 30 minutes in Monday's 113-110 loss to the Heat.

Impact For the second straight contest, McDaniels contributed in every major fantasy category, doing so while shooting efficiently from the field. McDaniels had already been the beneficiary of Karl-Anthony Towns suffering a calf injury in late November that will likely keep him sidelined heading into the 2023 portion of the schedule, but Kyle Anderson's (illness) shorter-term absence has also aided McDaniels to some degree. While Anderson has been out the past four games, McDaniels has cleared 30 minutes each time out while averaging 14.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.5 three-pointers, 1.0 blocks and 0.8 steals.

Well-rounded outing Friay McDaniels accumulated 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and two steals in 39 minutes during Friday's 121-109 loss to the Celtics.

Impact McDaniels hadn't recorded a block or steal in either of his previous two games, so Friday's effort was a nice change of pace on that front. He also attempted a season-high 15 shots in the tilt and fell just one assist shy of matching his season high in that column. McDaniels has proven worthy of usage in most fantasy lineups over the past couple of weeks, ranking inside the top 70 thanks to his all-around fantasy contributions. He should remain involved on both ends but could see his production scaled back whenever Karl-Anthony Towns (calf)is cleared to return.

Another night in double figures McDaniels provided 10 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists across 32 minutes during Wednesday's 104-99 loss to the Mavericks.

Impact McDaniels knocked down 50.0 percent of his field goals on limited attempts and also drilled a pair of threes. He's now hit two triples in three of his last four matchups and is averaging 13.0 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 blocks over this brief span.

DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Lackadaisical performance Monday McDaniels produced two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, one block and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 133-112 loss to the Trail Blazers.

Impact McDaniels was nowhere to be seen in the loss, putting forth his worst performance of the season. Despite the consistent minutes, it's been rough going of late for McDaniels, sitting outside the top 175 over the past two weeks. While he does remain a viable commodity across standard formats, his lack of multi-category appeal does mean he is better suited to specific team builds.

Limited numbers in return McDaniels (illness) started at power forward and finished with eight points (3-4 FG, 2-3 3Pt), one rebound, one steal and one block across 18 minutes in Saturday's 135-128 loss to...

Impact Back in action after a three-game absence due to the illness, McDaniels reclaimed a spot in the starting five. After typically being deployed as the Wolverines' top small forward, McDaniels moved up to power forward in place of Karl-Anthony Towns (calf), who is expected to be sidelined for at least the next month. Though he didn't see a notable spike in production in his first game sans Towns, McDaniels' low minutes Saturday were mostly the result of foul trouble. He should see his playing time pick up while Towns is out of the lineup.

Returns to starting role McDaniels is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Thunder.

Impact McDaniels returned to practice Friday following a three-game absence due to illness, and as expected, he's back in the lineup with Kyle Anderson heading to the bench. McDaniels is averaging a career-best 11.4 points per game this season across 19 appearances, all of them as a starter.

Not listed on injury report McDaniels isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's matchup against the Thunder.

Impact McDaniels returned to practice Friday and appears set to play Saturday following a three-game absence due to an illness. The third-year forward has started all 19 of his appearances this season and is averaging 11.4 points, 3.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 29.9 minutes per game.

DECEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Participates in Friday's practice Head coach Chris Finch indicated Friday that McDaniels (illness) took the floor during practice, Chris Hine of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Impact It's unclear to what level McDaniels participated in the session, but the team's injury report released later in the day for Saturday's contest should provide more clarity. McDaniels last saw action Nov. 25 against the Hornets.

Won't play Wednesday McDaniels (illness) won't play in Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Impact McDaniels will miss a third straight game with an illness. Austin Rivers will presumably garner another start with McDaniels officially out Wednesday.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Wednesday McDaniels (illness) is considered a game-time decision for Wednesday's clash with the Grizzlies, Dane Moore of BringMeTheNews.com reports.

Impact McDaniels was listed as questionable leading up to the contest, so his game-time status isn't surprising. However, official word on his status isn't likely to surface before the earliest lineup lock and likely won't come until the Timberwolves take the floor for warmups.

NOVEMBER 30, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable against Memphis McDaniels (illness) is questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Grizzlies.

Impact McDaniels has missed the last two games due to illness. Austin Rivers has started the last two games in the third-year forward's absence. McDaniels will have plenty of time to recover for Saturday's game against the Thunder if he's unavailable Wednesday.

Remains out Monday McDaniels (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Wizards, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

Impact McDaniels sat out Sunday against the Warriors due to an illness, and he'll remain sidelined for the second half of the back-to-back set. His next chance to suit up will be Wednesday against Memphis.
