Shake Milton Latest News
Plays three minutes in win
Milton ended with two points (2-2 FT) and three assists over three minutes during Thursday's 117-96 victory over Boston. Milton received minutes in garbage time following two consecutive DNP's via coach's decision. The 28-year-old has struggled to carve out a role with his new team, and in seven appearances with the Lakers, he has averaged 2.1 points across 8.6 minutes per contest.
Little impact in win
Milton logged four points (2-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and three rebounds over 16 minutes during Thursday's 114-106 win over the Trail Blazers. Much like Dorian Finney-Smith, Milton hasn't made much of an impact in Los Angeles since being traded to the Lakers. In two games with his new team, he has shot 4-for-9 from the floor, scoring 10 points, grabbing five rebounds and recording zero assists.
Set for Lakers debut
Milton (recently traded) will make his debut with the Lakers against the Cavaliers on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. After being traded to the Lakers recently, Milton is set to make his debut for Los Angeles on Monday. Milton could see a decent amount of minutes off the bench with his new team to help fill the void left by D'Angelo Russell, who heads to Brooklyn as result of the trade.
Shipped to Lakers
The Nets traded Milton and Dorian Finney-Smith to the Lakers on Sunday in exchange for D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis and three second-round picks, Shams Charania of ESPN reports. Milton had been playing well for the Nets, averaging 11.2 points, 3.1 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 0.9 steals in 24.5 minutes across his past 15 appearances, including a 16-point, 12-assist double-double against the Spurs on Friday during his first start of the season. However, the veteran guard is looking at a reduced role in Los Angeles, as he'll likely compete with Gabe Vincent for backup minutes behind Austin Reaves, Max Christie, Dalton Knecht and Cam Reddish. Milton's first chance to make his Lakers debut will come Tuesday against the Cavaliers.
Posts double-double Friday
Milton notched 16 points (5-9 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 12 assists and one steal in 34 minutes during Friday's 96-87 loss to the Spurs. Milton made his first start of the season Friday due to the absence of Ben Simmons (lower back injury management), and the journeyman responded by notching a double-double. The 12 dimes were a season-high mark for Milton, and the veteran is riding a solid stretch of play with double-digit points in five of his previous seven appearances, including a season-high 20-point output in the Dec. 26 win over the Bucks.
Erupts for 20 points in win
Milton had 20 points (7-10 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 2-3 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 23 minutes during Thursday's 111-105 victory over Milwaukee. Milton delivered his second-highest mark in scoring of the season in an efficient outing Thursday. The 28-year-old has received an uptick in playing time of late, and over his last 10 appearances, he has averaged 10.5 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists across 22.9 minutes per contest.
Invisible in loss
Milton closed with four points (1-8 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists and two steals over 19 minutes during Monday's 110-95 loss to the Heat. Milton had a nightmare showing in the loss after two straight games with double-digit points. Despite this dud, Milton is someone that deep-league fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on with the Nets rumored to be looking to unload Cameron Johnson and Dorian Finney-Smith (calf).
Could see larger role
Milton supplied five points (2-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and one assist over 17 minutes before fouling out of Monday's 130-101 loss to the Cavaliers. With Dennis Schroder now in Los Angeles, Milton moves up the depth chart by default and will have the opportunity to lock down the backup point guard minutes. He's played well in a limited role so far this season, hitting 45.5 percent from the field and 40.0 percent from beyond the arc with averages of 6.2 points, 2.0 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.5 steals and 0.9 three-pointers in 16.4 minutes per contest.
Pops for 22 points in loss
Milton provided 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 6-7 FT), two rebounds, four assists and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 123-100 loss to the Magic. Milton scored a season-high 22 points, playing at least 20 minutes for the fourth straight game. The Nets are dealing with a few injuries at the moment, presenting Milton with an unexpected opportunity. As long as they are running with limited backcourt resources, Milton could continue to play a meaningful role, albeit off the bench.
