Milton amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), two assists, one rebound and one steal across 21 minutes during Wednesday's 118-109 victory over the Cavaliers.
Though Milton served as a reserve again Wednesday, he saw ample playing time and was perfect from beyond the arc to score in double figures for the second time in the last five matchups. Across those five appearances, he's averaged 7.6 points, 2.8 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 20.0 minutes per game.

76ers' Shake Milton: Available to play
Rotowire
Milton (eye) will be available to play Monday against the Rockets.
Milton should see his usual minutes in the teens off the bench Monday night, which isn't enough floor time for him to produce in fantasy hoops. He's safe to leave on the waiver wire in most formats.

76ers' Shake Milton: Probable Monday with eye injury
Rotowire
Milton is listed as probable for Monday's matchup against the Rockets due to left eye soreness.
Despite landing on the injury report, Milton's eye issue doesn't seem to be serious enough to keep him out Monday. The backup point guard has scored in double figures in just one of his past nine appearances, averaging 5.0 points, 1.9 assists and 1.8 rebounds in 14.3 minutes during that stretch.

76ers' Shake Milton: Thrives in Saturday's win
Rotowire
Milton produced 17 points (7-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 118-117 win over the Jazz.
With Tobias Harris (knee) ruled out Saturday, Milton stepped up, playing as the first man off the bench. After playing just 15 minutes in his previous outing, this was a much better performance, reminiscent of what he was doing when both Tyrese Maxey and James Harden were sidelined earlier in the season. If Harris is ruled out any longer, Milton should at least be considered for streaming purposes for anyone in need of a points boost.

76ers' Shake Milton: Steps up with 18 points
Rotowire
Milton ended Saturday's 115-96 win over the Thunder with 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, five assists and one steal over 38 minutes.
Milton entered the starting lineup after James Harden was ruled out with a foot injury. Given the opposition, there is a chance the 76ers simply gave Harden the night off on the second night of a back-to-back. Nonetheless, Milton was able to step up, something he has done on more than one occasion already this season. While he was a nice stream, he will likely return to the bench against the Pelicans on Monday.

Milton finished with eight points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt), three rebounds and one assist across 23 minutes during Sunday's 119-112 victory over the Knicks.
Milton knocked down both of his attempts from beyond the arc, and he also helped out on the glass by snagging two of his three rebounds on the defensive end. The 26-year-old is putting up 10.4 points, 2.7 rebounds and 3.0 assists through 10 December appearances.

76ers' Shake Milton: Hampered by foul trouble
Rotowire
Milton contributed six points (3-8 FG, 0-3 3Pt), four rebounds and three assists in 24 minutes before fouling out of Friday's 133-122 overtime win over the Lakers.
Milton failed to get into any rhythm Friday, picking up a third foul early in the second quarter before ultimately fouling out before overtime. His stretch of fantasy relevance seems to be coming to a close with James Harden back and Tyrese Maxey (foot) approaching a return to the hardwood.

76ers' Shake Milton: Stays relevant despite bench role
Rotowire
Milton amassed 11 points (5-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 132-123 double-overtime loss to Houston.
Milton moved back to the bench Monday, ceding his starting spot to the returning James Harden. Despite the relegation, Milton still managed to play 26 minutes, putting up serviceable production. Sadly, his playing time could slowly decline as Harden gets his legs under him, meaning Milton is trending towards being a drop, outside of deeper formats.

76ers' Shake Milton: Admirable play continues
Rotowire
Milton had 17 points (6-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound, five assists, one block and one steal in 40 minutes during Friday's 117-109 loss to Memphis.
Milton has scored at least 17 points in five of his last six games. Also, his recent facilitating has been great, amounting to 6.6 dimes per game with a 3.14 assist-to-turnover ratio over his last seven contests. It'll be interesting to monitor the role that Milton retains with returns looming for James Harden (foot) and Tyrese Maxey (foot).

Rotowire
Milton finished with 21 points (9-20 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds and seven assists over 40 minutes during Monday's 104-101 win over the Hawks.
Milton has scored 20-plus points in five of his last six contests and continues to provide value on the boards and as a passer. He's also being handed heavy workloads on a consistent basis, averaging 38.8 minutes over his last six contests without Tyrese Maxey (foot) on the court.

76ers' Shake Milton: Goes off on Magic again
Rotowire
Milton notched 29 points (10-13 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 6-6 FT), seven assists, five rebounds and one steal in 38 minutes during Sunday's 133-103 victory over the Magic.
Milton and the Sixers crushed the Magic by an even wider margin Sunday, after beating them by eight points Friday. Milton's production was also much higher, and he drained 78 percent of his shots in the winning effort. He has 22-plus points in four of his past five outings and should continue to handle a high-volume role on offense while the 76ers play without Joel Embiid (foot), James Harden (foot) and Tyrese Maxey (foot).

76ers' Shake Milton: Just misses triple-double
Rotowire

He continues to put up impressive numbers in place of Tyrese Maxey (foot), averaging 22.3 points, 7.0 rebounds and 6.5 assists since entering the starting lineup four games ago.

76ers' Shake Milton: Team-high 22 points in loss
Rotowire
Milton accumulated 22 points (9-16 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, nine assists and two steals in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 107-101 loss to the Hornets.
Milton had arguably his best overall game of the season on Wednesday, reaching the 20-point mark for just the second time while handing out a team and season-high nine assists. He logged 10 of his 13 second-half points in the fourth quarter on 4-of-5 shooting from the field, while he also dished out back-to-back assists to Georges Niang and P.J. Tucker for threes toward the end of the period, though it wasn't enough as the Sixers fell to the Hornets. Milton has been a solid contributor on offense for Philadelphia in the absence of Tyrese Maxey (foot), and the point guard should maintain value as long as the latter is on the shelf.

76ers' Shake Milton: Another solid performance
Rotowire
Milton racked up 16 points (7-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds and five assists across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 115-106 victory over Brooklyn.
Since Tyrese Maxey (foot) went down in the first half against Milwaukee on Nov. 18, Milton has emerged as Philadelphia's top point guard. Over his last three games, Milton has averaged 19.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists while shooting 56.1 percent from the field. Maxey is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks, so Milton figures to be a quality fantasy play over the next month.

76ers' Shake Milton: Season-high 27 points in loss
Rotowire
Milton chipped in 27 points (10-15 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Saturday's 112-109 loss to the Timberwolves.
Milton got the start on Saturday with Tyrese Maxey out (foot) and did not disappoint, knocking down five of nine shot attempts in the first half for 13 points before going a perfect 4-of-4 from the field in the fourth quarter for another eight points as the Sixers fell to the Timberwolves. The 27 points were a season high, as were his three makes from beyond the arc. Philadelphia will lean on Milton much more for offensive production over the next few weeks without Maxey and James Harden (foot) in the lineup.

Milton will start Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Derek Bodner of DailySix.com reports.
With Tyrese Maxey (foot) shelved three-plus weeks, Milton may join the starting five until he returns. Milton saw 31 minutes during Friday's win over the Bucks, and he posted 15 points, six assists, three rebounds and one steal.

76ers' Shake Milton: Solid stat line off bench Friday
Rotowire
Milton chipped in 15 points (6-12 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one steal in 31 minutes during Friday's 110-102 victory over the Bucks.
Milton recorded a season-high 31 minutes due to the foot injury sustained by Tyrese Maxey, and he responded by delivering his best stat line of the entire campaign. Given the Sixers will play the second half of a back-to-back Saturday against the Timberwolves, Milton might find himself in the starting unit if Maxey can't go, which would result in an increased role for the former SMU standout.

76ers' Shake Milton: Plays just 12 minutes in win
Rotowire
Milton totaled two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT) and one rebound across 12 minutes during Monday's 100-88 win over the Suns.
Milton saw double-digit minutes for the third straight game, but in the wake of James Harden's (foot) injury, he's not seeing enough of a playing-time boost to warrant consideration in most leagues. Instead, it's been offseason addition De'Anthony Melton who's clearly benefited most from Harden's absence.
