Mon Oct 30 202316:01Shake Milton Experiencing Foot Soreness
Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Shake Milton (foot) is questionable for Monday's game against the Atlanta Hawks. Milton popped up on the injury report with left foot soreness, creating some doubt regarding his availability for Monday's interconference tilt. The 27-year-old combo guard has been a member of head coach Chris Finch's rotation for 38 combined minutes over the season's first two contests, likely due to Jaden McDaniels' (calf) absence, but he has only scored six points across this stretch. Mike Conley could handle additional run in the starting unit if Milton is sidelined, while Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker would likely see extra minutes in this case.

Fri Oct 6 202313:53Timberwolves Have High Hopes For Shake Milton
Minnesota Timberwolves guard Shake Milton is heading into his first season with the team and he's already stepping into more opportunities in training camp. The team wants him to shoot more threes than he did with the 76ers and he flashed his range over the first few days already. He attempted 1.9 per game last season which was down from his career-high of 3.4 in his second season. The 27-year-old took a step back minutes-wise last year and it remains to be seen if he'll see upwards of 20 minutes per contest. His main competition will be Jordan McLaughlin and Nickeil Alexander-Walker, but if he can find his way on the floor more often, he could be a good three-point asset in category formats.

Fri Jun 30 202320:44Shake Milton Signs With Timberwolves
According to NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski, Shake Milton is signing a contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves. It will be a two-year, $10 million deal. Milton desired more minutes and a more prominent role in free agency, and now he will get that opportunity in Minnesota. The 26-year-old guard has been a productive player in the last few seasons for Philadelphia, even in his limited role. He averaged 8.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, and 3.2 assists in 76 games for the Sixers last season. The Timberwolves severely lacked depth last year, so Milton could immediately come in and produce.

Tue Jun 20 202322:11Shake Milton Currently Unlikely To Return To 76ers
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is not likely to re-sign with the team at this time. Kyle Neubeck of the Philly Voice suggests this could happen "as the veteran guard looks for a potential opportunity for more minutes". The 26-year-old made a few spot starts here and there for the injured James Harden and Tyrese Maxey last season, but was mostly glued to the bench otherwise. The combo guard has scored 9.4 points, 2.7 assists, and 2.4 rebounds per game across 20.8 minutes per night over 254 contests in his Philadelphia career. Milton would likely only become a priority for the 76ers if Harden ends up walking this offseason.

Sun Nov 27 202221:39Shake Milton Continues Great Play Against Magic
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton has made the most out of his added minutes over the last week or so. Since James Harden and Tyrese Maxey are both out, he's been receiving starter's minutes and has provided the output to match it. On Sunday, he logged 29 points, five rebounds, seven assists, and one steal. Over the last week he's ranked sixth in fantasy value and over the last two weeks, he was in the top 25. While Harden and Maxey continue to be sidelined, Milton is a great streaming option for any fantasy format.

Sat Nov 26 202208:00Shake Milton Goes Close To A Triple-Double
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton led the charge in Friday's 107-99 win over Orlando, posting a near triple-double with 24 points, nine rebounds and a career-high 10 assists. He also notched a steal and a block while shooting 7-for-13 from the field with a 4-for-7 record from downtown. Following a rash of injuries, Milton has earned himself a big role in Philly and is quickly becoming a must-have player. He has averaged 20.8 points across the last five games with 6.2 rebounds and 6.4 assists. The 26-year-old will have a chance to trouble the Magic again Sunday.

Sun Nov 20 202208:14Shake Milton Looks Great In First Start
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton had a great time in his first start of the campaign Saturday, posting 27 points on 10-for-15 shooting in a 112-109 loss to Minnesota. He hit three times from deep with five attempts and added six rebounds and two assists to his line in 38 minutes. It was a very good performance from the 26-year-old, although Milton blemished his line a bit with six turnovers. With the Sixers having suffered a number of injuries, Danuel House Jr. and De'Anthony Melton have also started to run with the starters. The former hasn't made much use of the extended minutes, but Melton put together a 19-5-6 line Saturday and even had five steals and one block. Philly's new starting backcourt should draw plenty of attention from fantasy managers until the team gets back healthy again.

Tue Jun 28 202218:58Shake Milton To Stay In Philly
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton had his team option exercised by the organization on Tuesday. He'll return to the team as a key role player, but his fantasy value will be minimal. The Sixers have Joel Embiid, James Harden, Tyrese Maxey, and Tobias Harris as their main contributors. It's tough for anyone else to have reliable fantasy value outside of those four players. Milton is a nice insurance piece, but missed a ton of games due to injury last season. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect Milton to bring much to the table unless the team loses a few players due to injury.

Wed Jun 15 202221:18Philly Expected To Exercise Option On Shake Milton
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is expected to have his $2 million team option exercised. The 25-year-old averaged just 8.2 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 2021-22. However, throughout six starts last season, he averaged 16.0 points. Nonetheless, while Milton probably won't see much interest during drafts ahead of the 2022 campaign, he'll likely have some value as a periodic streaming alternative for fantasy managers in all formats.

Fri Feb 11 202217:49Shake Milton Set For Return To Action Friday
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Shake Milton (back) has been given the green light to get back into action for Friday's game against Oklahoma City after missing 18 games due to a back ailment. Milton's return comes at a critical juncture for Philly, who sent Seth Curry to the Nets in the package that landed James Harden. Due to his layoff, Milton is likely facing a capped minutes total vs. the Thunder, even with his role among the second unit likely safe moving forward. At 10.5 points and 2.8 assists per contest, Milton is on the fringe of season-long viability in most formats for the time being.

Tue Jan 4 202218:04Shake Milton Will Miss Wednesday’s Contest
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Shake Milton (back) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against Orlando due to a back contusion. Milton struggled over his two most recent outings, having missed four games under the league's health and safety protocols around the Christmas holiday. With Tyrese Maxey (health and safety protocols) also down, Furkan Korkmaz and Seth Curry stand to see the vast majority of ball-handling duties, while Joel Embiid also possesses upside as a passer, evidenced by his triple-double Monday. When healthy, Milton has been a streaky offensive-minded contributor off the bench. His next chance to suit up comes Friday vs. the Spurs.

Thu Dec 30 202119:00Shake Milton Available For Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is available for Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. The young guard has cleared the league's health and safety protocols and is allowed to return to action. Actually, Milton cleared COVID-19 protocols a few days ago, but has been building up his conditioning. His return could mean a slight decrease in value for Seth Curry and Tyrese Maxey. Both still have fine fantasy value, but could lose a few minutes to Milton. Fantasy managers shouldn't expected too much from Milton during his first game back.

Wed Dec 29 202122:00Andre Drummond, Shake Milton Questionable For Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers center Andre Drummond and guard Shake Milton have both cleared the league's health and safety protocols ahead of Thursday's game against the Brooklyn Nets. Drummond was able to practice on Wednesday, but it normally takes a few days to get up your conditioning. That being said, Joel Embiid could be asked to take on a heavier role, assuming Drummond sits out. Milton cleared COVID-19 protocols a few days ago, but has been building back his conditioning. The organization is hopeful that Milton plays, but it'll be a wait-and-see type of approach. In the meantime, Tyrese Maxey and Seth Curry will continue seeing increased usage. Fantasy managers should consider both Drummond and Milton questionable heading into Thursday's contest.

Mon Dec 27 202117:36Shake Milton Remains Out On Tuesday
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Toronto Raptors. Milton has cleared protocols, but needs to build up his conditioning. Fantasy managers should expect him back on the court soon. In the meantime, Tyrese Maxey will see all the minutes he can handle. Maxey is worth streaming and could be an interesting DFS option for Tuesday's slate.

Mon Dec 20 202118:44Shake Milton Likely To Miss Next Four Games
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton is expected to miss at least the next four games. He entered the league's COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Dec. 19, meaning he won't clear quarantine until Dec. 30. The Sixers are also going to be without Tyrese Maxey (quadriceps) for Monday's contest. That means that Seth Curry is looking at increased minutes and responsibilities while Milton and Maxey are down. Fantasy managers can feel free to leave Milton on the waiver wire, but Maxey is worth holding.

Mon Nov 29 202117:56Shake Milton Will Suit Up For Monday’s Contest
Philadelphia 76ers point guard Shake Milton (groin) has been cleared to take the floor for Monday's game against the Magic despite battling a sore left groin. The ailment cost Milton the team's most recent outing, with his return likely to take a slight chunk out of Seth Curry and Tyrese Maxey's respective minutes totals. Primarily having been utilized as a bench dynamo in the first quarter of the year, Milton has averaged 12 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 3.1 assists, production that put him on the fringe of most season-long leagues. He has a particularly favorable matchup Monday, as Orlando has yielded the second-most DFS points per contest this year per both DraftKings and FanDuel's scoring system.

Sun Nov 28 202122:26Shake Milton Questionable Against Magic
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Orlando Magic. He was forced to miss Saturday's contest due to a groin issue. Furkan Korkmaz and Isaiah Joe will likely be asked to step up if Milton is forced to miss another game. Although, Matisse Thybulle and Danny Green are better fantasy options with Milton sidelined. Thybulle could have some DFS value with an expanded role. Fantasy managers should check back on Monday for more information.

Wed Nov 17 202104:30Shake Milton Scores 18 Points On 19 Attempts
On Wednesday, the Philadelphia 76ers suffered a massive 120-85 loss to the Utah Jazz. In the blowout loss, guard Shake Milton took 19 shots and only converted them into 18 points, along with four assists and three rebounds. With Joel Embiid (protocols) and Ben Simmons (personal) on the sidelines, several role players have had their chances to impress. Unfortunately, Milton, Georges Niang, and Furkan Korkmaz have shone brightly and then disappeared on and off. They all remain streaming candidates in the right matchup but shouldn't be consistently on 12-team rosters. Tyrese Maxey, Tobias Harris, and a healthy Joel Embiid remain the only must-have players in Philly.

Mon Nov 8 202118:44Shake Milton Will Return To Second Unit
Philadelphia 76ers guard Shake Milton will return to the second unit for Monday's game against the New York Knicks. The return of Danny Green (hamstring) will push Milton back to the bench. Although, he is still expected to have a significant role with the Sixers missing a handful of key players. Furkan Korkmaz will start on Monday, but Milton remains a low-end fantasy option while the Sixers are banged up. Both Joel Embiid and Tobias Harris are sitting due to the league's health and safety rules. That means, Green, Korkmaz, and Milton should have no shortage of shots.

Thu Oct 28 202118:44Joel Embiid, Shake Milton Suiting Up Thursday
Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid (knee), who was questionable, will play Thursday against the Pistons. Guard Shake Milton (ankle), who has yet to play this year, will also suit up. Embiid has been battling a sore knee, but it has yet to cost him any game action. Still, the talented big man has been affected by the ailment, as he has been far less aggressive on the offensive end through four games played, limiting his DFS upside. Milton has been dealing with an ankle sprain but has the potential to play heavy minutes, so long as he's healthy with the Ben Simmons saga roaring on in Philly.
