BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 33% of leagues
ANALYSIS: I can't build a big case for Milton based on his recent play. Milton was one of Philly's COVID-affected players this past week, so he missed every game the team played from Jan. 7th to Thursday's match against Miami, limiting his minutes to 27 overall in the past 7+ days. That being said, the fact that fantasy GMs didn't drop him (still rostered in a third of Yahoo leagues) makes me believe the consensus opinion is that Milton is here to stay--and you better be rostering him before it's too late.
Milton's season has been that of any other off-the-pine player... only he's been excellent in his minutes coming off the bench. So much, in fact, that he started for the 76ers last week given the multiple absences the team had to endure and in 36 MP he put up a 24-1-7 line shooting 61.5 percent from the floor on his 13 FGA.
But Milton magnum opus, though, came just this past Thursday when he went back to the second-unit. Playing 27 minutes against Miami he dropped a season-high 31 pops (3 treys), grabbed two boards, and dished out a season-high 7 dimes. Oh, and he paired that with 3 stocks while shooting 73%+ from the floor and hitting all 6 of his attempted freebies. If you need points and dimes, go after Milton. Reserve player, sure, but one in a magnificent context surrounded by great teammates and an incredible shooting prowess.
