  15D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

His per-minute production is less than ideal, something that has plagued him throughout his career.

• Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Does it all in win

  24D ago • By RotoWire

  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. 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 the former's fantasy value is reliant on his defense and efficiency.
