Shake Milton benefited from Gabe Vincent’s absence (sore knee) on Thursday, contributing 21 points (7-of-8 FG, 6-of-6 FT), four rebounds, four assists, two steals, and one three-pointer in 28 minutes. After scoring just 15 total points across his previous nine games, Milton seized the opportunity to post his best performance of the season for the Lakers.

Fantasy Impact

Despite this strong showing, fantasy managers shouldn’t overreact to one breakout game—Milton’s role and productivity have been minimal thus far. Still, if Vincent remains sidelined for Saturday’s tilt against the Knicks, Milton could warrant a short-term look for those in deeper leagues or in need of streaming options.

Shake Milton is expected to make his debut with the Lakers on Tuesday against the Cavaliers.

Fantasy Impact

Dorian Finney-Smith is also expected to make his debut with the Lakers. Milton is unlikely to be on the fantasy radar.

Shake Milton has been traded to the Los Angeles Lakers alongside Dorian Finney-Smith. The Nets will receive D'Angelo Russell, Maxwell Lewis, and three second-round picks.

Fantasy Impact

Milton heads to the Lakers with a likely reduced overall role compared to what he saw in Brooklyn recently. He'll compete with Gabe Vincent and Dalton Knecht off the bench in the backcourt.

Shake Milton scored 15 points (6-11 FG, 1-4 3PT, 2-3 FT) to go along with three rebounds, four assists and two steals in the Nets 99-90 win over the Pacers.

Fantasy Impact

Milton continues to see more minutes with the second unit with the front court short-handed for Brooklyn. His fantasy upside remains limited.

Shake Milton scored 22 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3PT, 6-7 FT) to go along with two rebounds, four assists and one steal in the Nets 123-100 loss against the Magic.

Fantasy Impact

Milton scored a season-high in points and played a season-high 34 minutes. He likely remains off the fantasy radar.
