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.

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.

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.

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.
