• Nets' Shake Milton: Could see larger role

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Nets' Shake Milton: Pops for 22 points in loss

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Nets' Shake Milton: Plays 12 minutes in win

  11/05/2024 • By RotoWire

  Milton had five points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT) and four rebounds over 12 minutes during Monday's 106-104 victory over the Grizzlies. Through seven appearances, this was Milton's third time seeing minutes in the double digits, with two of those outings coming when Ben Simmons (back/rest) was sidelined during a back-to-back set. Milton faces an uphill battle for playing time on a nightly basis, and he remains well off the fantasy radar in most formats for the foreseeable future.

• Nets' Shake Milton: Plays 17 minutes in loss

  Milton finished with three points (1-2 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and two assists over 17 minutes during Friday's 116-101 loss to Orlando. Milton saw meaningful minutes yet failed to make any noise when it came to tangible production. Despite a somewhat fantasy-friendly game, it doesn't appear that Milton is going to be afforded a consistent role in Brooklyn. Should he step into a larger role at any point, he would be a name to watch. For now, he can be safely ignored across most formats.

• Nets' Shake Milton: Headed to Brooklyn

  Milton signed a three-year, $9 million contract with the Knicks on Thursday before being shipped, along with Bojan Bogdanovic, to the Nets as part of the sign-and-trade that will send Mikal Bridges and Keita Bates-Diop (shin) to the Knicks, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. While the final two years of Milton's contract are non-guaranteed, he will have an opportunity to compete for backcourt minutes on a rebuilding Nets squad. In 2023-24, Milton averaged 4.5 points, 1.6 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 12.1 minutes across 48 total appearances for the Pistons, Timberwolves and Knicks in the regular season.
