   McDaniels finished with 23 points (8-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one steal and two blocks over 40 minutes in Friday's 115-109 win over the Pelicans.

   McDaniels snapped a three-game swat-less streak during Friday's win, and he got some triples to drop after going 0-for-7 from beyond the arc in his previous outing. The 26-year-old vet is off to his best start yet, averaging 17.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 triples, and 1.7 stocks per contest, which has him flirting with top-50 value on the year.

   McDaniels remains a reliable presence on the wing for Minnesota, having collected at least 13 points and six boards in eight of his first nine appearances. He's averaged 16.4 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 0.9 steals in 33.2 minutes per game this season.

   McDaniels provided 13 points (5-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 112-100 victory over the Bucks.

   McDaniels struggled with his efficiency, converting just five of his 14 field-goal attempts while failing to record a steal or block. He also played fewer than 30 minutes for the first time since the season opener. Despite the relatively quiet showing, McDaniels has scored in double figures in all eight appearances this season and remains a useful contributor across multiple categories.

   McDaniels recorded 23 points (11-15 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal over 33 minutes during Friday's 127-101 win over the Clippers.

   McDaniels made the most of his expanded offensive role Friday, delivering his best scoring output of the season and his first game with at least 20 points while also contributing in other areas. McDaniels is enjoying an excellent start to the season and has embraced a more prominent role on offense early. He's scored at least 14 points in each of his six appearances and is averaging 17.0 points, 6.5 rebounds, 3.7 assists and a combined 1.7 steals-plus-blocks thus far.

   McDaniels contributed 19 points (8-18 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds and four assists across 35 minutes in Wednesday's 119-114 loss to the Warriors.

   McDaniels attempted 18 shots, reflecting increased offensive involvement with Anthony Edwards (knee) unavailable. However, McDaniels connected on just one of eight three-point attempts and recorded no steals or blocks, limiting his overall fantasy production. His seven rebounds and four assists were encouraging, and the additional scoring opportunities could boost his value as Minnesota adjusts to Edwards' absence. McDaniels hasn't recorded a steal in four games and has just five blocks in five contests. Still, he's averaging 15.8 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.0 assists per contest.
