Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels opened Wednesday's Game 1 against Dallas with 4-for-4 three-point shooting and was the team's top scorer in the end in a 108-105 loss with 24 points. The 23-year-old enjoyed his third consecutive 20-point effort with 9-for-15 shooting, hitting six of his nine attempts from behind the arc. McDaniels' night also included four rebounds, three assists, and one steal. Minnesota's young forward has built himself a reputation as a very good defensive player, and he was selected to the NBA All-Defensive Second Team at the start of the week. But McDaniels has also been on a roll offensively lately thanks to some very sharp three-point shooting, going 12-for-18 from deep across his last three appearances.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels produced a second consecutive 20-point game on Sunday in a Game 7 win against the Nuggets, shooting 7-for-10 from the field en route to 23 points. He was the team's joint top scorer with Karl-Anthony Toews. McDaniels' night included a 3-for-4 effort from downtown, and he completed his line with six rebounds, one assist, two steals, and one block. The 23-year-old is more known for his defensive qualities, but McDaniels definitely gave Minnesota a boost in the attacking end in the last couple of games, which helped the team tilt the series in its favor. McDaniels now boasts three 20-point performances in 11 playoff games after having only had seven such outings during the regular season.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels cashed in an ultra-efficient performance in Game 6, which ended in a complete blowout and a Game 7 on the horizon. McDaniels has been a defensive force for this team throughout the playoffs so far and he's thrown in a few big offensive efforts for good measure. In Game 6, McDaniels posted 21 points on 8-for-10 shooting while chipping in four rebounds, one assist, one steal, and two blocks. His defensive versatility has been the biggest key to the Timberwolves' engine. McDaniels hasn't been a big offensive producer in the away games in this series, though, so he may not be the best DFS option for Game 7.
