Daniels amassed 17 points (6-9 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one assist in 21 minutes during Wednesday's 119-118 loss to Orlando.
EDGE Analysis
Daniels hit four triples Wednesday, ending with a season-high 17 points. He can be a sneaky source of three-pointers when afforded sufficient playing time. Unfortunately, that is not an every night occurrence, highlighted by the fact he played only three minutes in the game prior.

Daniels produced 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt) and six rebounds in 21 minutes during Saturday's 125-110 win over Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old shot nicely in the middle quarters with 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt) and set season-highs in both rebounds and minutes played. Daniels received a more significant workload due to team injuries, so it's highly unlikely he'll continue to produce at this rate unless most of his teammates are out.

Daniels didn't score a single point (0-1 FG) in four minutes during Wednesday's 117-107 win over the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Daniels has reached double-digit minutes twice and has gathered four DNP designations over the Lakers' last 10 games. He is struggling to produce when given the chance and, considering recent tendencies, he shouldn't be much of a factor off the bench for the Lakers moving forward.

Daniels supplied 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and a steal in 15 minutes during Monday's win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Daniels topped double-figures for the third time this season. His production is predominantly charged by his ability to make three-pointers, which he's doing at a subpar 32.7 clip on the season. He's averaging just 15.5 minutes per game, so, despite his track record of solid three-point shooting, Daniels can safely be avoided in the majority of formats.

Daniels (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the Suns, but he's unlikely to see the court unless "needed", Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
It seems like the Lakers will opt to take it easy with Daniels, who is recovering from a knee injury. In 15.2 minutes per game, he's averaging 5.4 points and 1.6 rebounds.

Daniels (knee) isn't expected to be cleared to play Tuesday against the Suns, Kyle Goon of The Orange County Register reports.
EDGE Analysis
While it appears Daniels will end up sitting out of this one, coach Frank Vogel did note that "there's a chance" the VCU product could return. His availability will likely depend on how he fares during shootaround.

Daniels (knee) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Phoenix, Bill Oram of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daniels underwent an MRI earlier in the day Monday, and while the team has yet to reveal the details of the injury, it's good to hear that he has a chance to play Tuesday. Expect an update closer to tipoff.

Daniels will undergo a precautionary MRI on his left knee, Mike Trudell of the Lakers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Daniels apparently tweaked his left knee during Monday's practice, leaving his status for Tuesday's game in Phoenix up in the air. His availability should clear up once the results of his MRI are known.

Daniels contributed 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds and one block in 17 minutes during Sunday's 113-104 loss to Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Daniels scored 11 points off the Lakers bench during Sunday's loss, ending with 3-of-5 from the three-point line. Daniels is a known sharpshooter and that is certainly a skill the Lakers are going to need from time to time. If you can catch him on the right night, Daniels could be a solid three-point streamer, but be prepared for a number of duds mixed in with the odd good game.

Daniels produced 15 points (5-9 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and a steal in 21 minutes during Friday's win over Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Daniels finished third on the team in points, leading the bench unit by a sizable margin. The veteran sharpshooter's hit 5-of-13 attempts from downtown over his first two games, clearly benefitting from the easy looks generated by LeBron James. If he's able to sufficiently keep up on the defensive end, Daniels has the offensive chops to embed himself as a steady option within the Lakers' second unit going forward.
