New York Knicks Sign Shake Milton to Roster

The New York Knicks are on a roll in terms of their knack for hiring. If you bet on basketball, then you are aware of how the Knicks have been performing this season- and how certain players are driving them to be one of the favorites to get to the playoffs this season. Their roster is now stronger, as the New York Knicks sign Shake Milton, a defensive guard coming in from the Detroit Pistons.

Milton started the season with the Minnesota Timberwolves, but was traded ahead of the deadline to Detroit. After playing 4 games with the Pistons, he was bought out of his contract, thus making him a free agent.

If you want to become an NBA bookie, you need to know about trades and such as bolstering a roster even in the midseason can affect a team’s standings, and can therefore affect the sports betting odds of the team, and the conference.

Adding Milton into the mix at this point in the season is perfect timing, as the Knicks’ scorers have been injured as of late. Julius Randle and OG Anunoby have both been explosive in their most recent games. However, they are both been injured. On top of this, Jalen Brunson suffered from a knee contusion in their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers last weekend. Having Milton in the roster gives the team a much-needed insurance especially with defense.

Milton did not get much playing time with the Timberwolves and even with the Pistons, short as his stay there was. But when he was with the Philadelphia 76ers for five seasons, he played well. He can defend well, and has a career record of 45.1% of shooting from the field, and 35.7% from the three-point range.

The constant changes in rosters are also a good reason why prop bets are popular, and many bettors will be looking to see how Milton will play with the Knicks. More importantly, a lot of bettors and Knicks fans are looking forward to seeing the Knicks play- with all injured players back in the game. This will make for a great postseason run for the Knicks.
