Jaden McDaniels News
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) will play on Monday against the Los Angeles Clippers after being upgraded from questionable to available. He originally injured his finger on Thursday and could only play 19 minutes in a 24-point win over the Milwaukee Bucks. He registered eight points, three rebounds, two blocks, and one turnover in that contest. McDaniels hasn't exactly been the best fantasy asset outside of points and field goal percentage, so he hasn't been viable outside of the deepest leagues. He remains in the starting five though so he does receive plenty of opportunities on a nightly basis and serves as a stronger streaming option when others are out of the lineup.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) is regarded as questionable for Monday's matchup versus the Clippers. The 23-year-old hurt his left index finger against Milwaukee on Thursday and might have to come out of the lineup for the first time since Dec. 8. Nickeil Alexander-Walker was McDaniels' replacement in the starting unit the last time he was unavailable. Kyle Anderson should also get a few extra minutes without him. Alexander-Walker has logged 10 starts in total across the season, registering 9.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 1.2 steals in the role.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (finger) had eight points, three rebounds, and two blocks in Thursday's win over the shorthanded Bucks. However, he suffered a left index finger sprain during the contest, ending his night after only 19 minutes of work. The 23-year-old isn't always the most reliable contributor in any statistical category. Still, he's been instrumental to Minnesota's success this season, primarily due to his contributions on the defensive end. Fortunately, the Timberwolves aren't back in action until Monday evening versus the Los Angeles Clippers, so there's a chance he'll be better by then. But if McDaniels can't go, Nickeil Alexander-Walker, averaging 9.3 points and 1.1 steals in 16 starts this season, would presumably fill the void in the rotation.
Minnesota Timberwolves forward Jaden McDaniels (back) has been upgraded from questionable to available on Monday night ahead of their matchup against the Miami Heat. This year, McDaniels hasn't been the best source of fantasy contributions, especially in shallow leagues. In their last game on Saturday against the Indiana Pacers, a team that has one of the worst defenses in the league, McDaniels could only muster five points, one rebound, one steal, and one turnover. His defensive abilities are important to the Timberwolves' success, but they often don't appear in the box score.
