Daniels closed with 20 points (8-13 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-6 FT), four rebounds, three assists and five steals in 35 minutes during Wednesday's 132-125 victory over the Magic.
Daniels was in his bag to begin the season, getting it done on both ends of the floor. Coming off a strong showing during the 2025-26 season, Daniels will look to advance his game this year, particularly on the offensive end. Although he missed both of his three-point attempts, the fact that he attempted 13 shots was encouraging. He has a chance to lead the league in steals, which provides fantasy managers with a sense of reassurance when it comes to his overall value.
