Offensively, he averages 16.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game, shooting 53% from the floor and an impressive 41% from beyond the arc. In his last five outings he has raised his scoring to 17.0 points per game, though his field-goal percentage dipped to 44% compared with his season average. McDaniels' recent performances include a 23-point, 6-rebound, 5-assist night in 40 minutes against the New Orleans Pelicans on 6 November and a 16-point, 6-rebound, 3-assist effort in 33 minutes against the Utah Jazz on 8 November. His form score of 4.8, slightly below his 52-week normal of 5, suggests a modest dip in recent output. The Timberwolves will host the Dallas Mavericks on 13 November at home in the NBA.
