Top Jaden McDaniels News

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Ties career high in loss

    McDaniels provided 26 points (9-13 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 4-7 FT), six rebounds, two blocks and one steal in 38 minutes during Tuesday's 115-112 loss to the Nuggets.

    The Timberwolves need nights like this from McDaniels if they hope to keep pace in the Western Conference. The Washington product is the best chance for the team to make up for Karl-Anthony Towns' (knee) absence, but he's struggled to stay consistent. The issue is exacerbated by Rudy Gobert's (ribs) absence, but McDaniels' effort shows that he is capable of shouldering a heavy load if shots are falling his way.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Sees 33 minutes

    McDaniels ended Monday's 114-104 victory over Utah with nine points (4-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist, two blocks and one steal across 33 minutes.

    Rudy Gobert (ribs) was sidelined and Naz Reid left this game early with a head injury, so McDaniels saw expanded minutes. His struggles continued, however, as he hasn't been able to generate much offensively in March. In his last nine appearances, McDaniels has shot 40.2 percent from the field and 22.9 percent from beyond the arc.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Poor shooting effort Sunday

    McDaniels ended with 10 points (5-17 FG, 0-5 3Pt), six rebounds, one assist and two steals in 32 minutes during Sunday's 120-109 loss to the Lakers.

    With Karl-Anthony Towns (knee), Rudy Gobert (hamstring) and Kyle Anderson (shoulder) sidelined, McDaniels failed to take advantage of extra opportunities and needed 17 shots to score 10 points. The defensive-minded forward should continue to get more offensive looks, but his poor shooting may mitigate any boost in fantasy value.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Drops season-high 26 in loss

    McDaniels closed Friday's 124-120 overtime loss to Sacramento with 26 points (9-11 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 45 minutes.

    The fourth-year forward wound up leading Minnesota in scoring on the night, in part due to Anthony Edwards (personal) leaving the game at halftime. McDaniels set new season highs in points and made three-pointers, and Friday's performance was the first time since Jan. 17 he'd topped 20 points. Despite a fairly consistent role in the rotation, the 23-year-old's production has been anything but -- in 12 games since the beginning of February he's scored in single digits six times, including a goose egg against the Trail Blazers on Feb. 13.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Turns in 17 points

    McDaniels closed with 17 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and two steals across 28 minutes during Thursday's 128-91 win over Portland.

    McDaniels' value as a fantasy target is a variance-filled proposition, as his numbers fluctuate nightly. He scored nine points in the first quarter, and Minnesota's 44-14 lead marked the most lopsided quarter of the season. The Timberwolves are running hot with four straight wins, and despite some rocky numbers, McDaniels has value as a consistent starter with the first unit.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Good to go against Portland

    McDaniels is available for Tuesday's game versus the Timberwolves.

    McDaniels has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with a left index finger sprain. McDaniels is averaging 9.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 29.0 minutes across his last five appearances.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Returns to injury report

    McDaniels is questionable for Tuesday's game against Portland due to a left index finger sprain.

    McDaniels has been appearing on Timberwolves injury reports for the past week due to the finger sprain, but he has yet to miss a game. He posted 11 points (5-8 FG), one assist, one steal and one rebound across 25 minutes in Minnesota's win over the Clippers and likely would have seen more playing time in the fourth quarter if the game hadn't been a blowout. Assuming he didn't suffer a setback with the finger Monday, McDaniels should face no restrictions Tuesday if he's cleared to play.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Cleared for action

    McDaniels (finger) will play Monday versus the Clippers, Alan Horton of the Timberwolves Radio Network reports.

    McDaniels exited Thursday's game after spraining his left index finger, but the injury will not cost him any games. McDaniels is a critical addition to the Timberwolves' lineup as Minnesota attempts to slow down Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Questionable for Monday

    McDaniels (finger) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday's game against the Clippers.

    McDaniels left Thursday's game against the Bucks early due to a left index finger sprain that now has his status for Monday's game in question. If he is unable to go, Kyle Anderson and Nickeil Alexander-Walker are likely candidates to get extra minutes.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Suffers finger sprain

    McDaniels suffered a left index finger sprain during Thursday's 129-105 win over the Bucks and wasn't able to return. He finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks in 19 minutes.

    The severity of the injury isn't known, but the good news for Minnesota is that they are off until Monday's game against the Clippers. If McDaniels is unable to play Monday, Minnesota could turn to Kyle Anderson and Naz Reid to soak up some additional minutes at forward.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Held in check

    McDaniels finished Sunday's 111-90 victory over the Rockets with five points (2-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds, two assists and one block across 29 minutes.

    McDaniels' streak of scoring in double figures ended at three, as he couldn't generate much offensively Sunday. He hasn't lived up to the offseason hype in fantasy basketball, as he's sitting outside the top-150 in nine-category formats due to muted production across the board. In 40 appearances, the forward holds averages of 10.8 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.3 three-pointers, 0.9 steals and 0.5 blocks.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: On-brand scoring in win

    McDaniels contributed 14 points (6-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 31 minutes during Monday's 107-101 win over Oklahoma City.

    McDaniels is averaging 11.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.2 steals on 50.4 percent shooting across his last 15 games. He fell in line with those averages Monday, while playing critical defense on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams (ankle) -- who grade as two of the most efficient scorers in the league this season.

  • Timberwolves' Jaden McDaniels: Season-high 23 points in victory

    McDaniels supplied 23 points (8-11 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 30 minutes during Wednesday's 124-117 victory over Detroit.

    McDaniels connected on a trio of threes while finishing as one of three Timberwolves with 20 or more points and ending with a season-high scoring mark in a winning effort. McDaniels has surpassed the 20-point mark in four games this year, connecting on three or more threes in three of those four outings.
