McDaniels contributed four points (2-2 FG), two assists, one rebound, and one steal over 15 minutes in Thursday's 88-86 loss to the Mavericks.

EDGE Analysis

McDaniels entered the starting lineup at small forward for the first time all season, but the move didn't result in much of a change in his minutes or productivity. In fact, McDaniels actually saw three minutes less than he did in the team's previous game Sunday against the Thunder while he came off the bench. It's unclear if his stay in the starting lineup will become permanent, but regardless of how he's deployed, McDaniels doesn't figure to ascend to fantasy relevance.
