Miller and the Hornets handed Utah a 150-95 beating, the largest in Jazz franchise history since moving to Salt Lake City. With the game out of hand by the end of the first quarter, Miller only played 22 minutes, which affected the final stat line. The good news for fantasy managers is that he offered solid value, especially in assists and steals. Charlotte begins a four-game Week 13 on Monday against the Clippers.

Miller picked up his second technical foul with 9:49 remaining in the third quarter, resulting in a premature trip to the locker room. He finished with six points (2-of-8 FGs, 1-of-2 FTs), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one three-pointer.

Miller missed Thursday’s game against the Raptors, but seems likely to return for the second game in a back-to-back on Thursday. His return would push Sion James back to the bench.

Miller was listed as probable on Tuesday evening, but he’s now in danger of sitting out against the Raptors. Charlotte is on the first leg of a back-to-back set, and it’s possible the Hornets are giving Miller a maintenance day before facing the Pacers on Thursday. If Miller is out, Sion James and Collin Sexton are candidates to replace him in the starting five.

Miller was also considered probable ahead of Monday’s win over the Thunder, a game in which he scored 28 points and recorded a complete stat line. Expect to see him on the floor Wednesday night, with Collin Sexton or Sion James starting if Miller can’t play.

In a game against the defending champion Thunder, Miller was the best player on the floor in this one. The 23-year-old small forward dropped 28 points and made seven threes in the win. One of his threes came at the end of the third quarter to beat the buzzer and put the Hornets up by 28 points. Miller has provided 10-round per game value this season, but nights like Monday remind you his ceiling is even higher.

Miller was initially listed as probable, so his availability for Monday’s game against the Thunder isn’t a surprise. The 23-year-old small forward is dealing with a left knee contusion, but Miller hasn’t missed a game in over a month and will keep that streak going.

Miller is dealing with a left knee contusion, but the probable tag suggests that he will be available for Monday’s matchup with the reigning champs. Miller hasn’t missed a game in a month, with Sion James being his replacement in a December 3 loss to the Knicks. With Kon Knueppel questionable, James may start even if Miller is available.

Miller went off in the late stages of this one after entering halftime with just four points, knocking down 7-of-12 shots, including 4-of-7 from three-point range, to finish with a game-high 18 second-half points. The 23-year-old forward is averaging 21.3 shot attempts over his last four games as the Hornets continue to lean on him more in clutch situations.

Miller led all scorers in this one, but his high-scoring effort wasn’t enough to guide Charlotte to victory. Miller finished with 31/8/5 on Monday, and he’s scored at least 30 points in back-to-back contests. Fantasy managers can count on Miller staying heavily involved on offense as one of the Hornets’ top options.

Miller had his first game with at least 30 points this year. He had a dunk on Kyle Kuzma in transition with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter, complete with trash talk. The 23-year-old small forward had 31 points on the night, but Miller wasn’t particularly efficient going 9-of-22 from the field. He got it done at the foul line by sinking 10-of-12 free throws. Miller is averaging 18.2 points per game in December. He’ll have to improve his field goal percentage to become a more consistent scorer.

Miller has been a 20-point scorer in three of his last four appearances, and his category league value has improved over the last two weeks despite poor shooting. Even with Monday’s 8-of-13 effort, Miller is shooting 41.6 percent from the field during this stretch. However, the overall production has been good enough to make him a third-round player in eight-cat formats. That bodes well for Miller’s rest-of-season value, provided he avoids an extended absence due to injury.

Miller was excellent in the win over the Hawks Thursday. The 23-year-old small forward had a full stat line as he recorded three steals and one block in addition to pouring in 26 points, grabbing five rebounds and dishing out seven assists. The Hornets got elite production from their big three of Miller, LaMelo Ball and Kon Knueppel. Miller in particular had a big night as his 9-of-15 game had his shooting percentage nearly double what he’s provided lately.

Miller, who left the game briefly with what appeared to be a left shoulder issue, had a chance to put Charlotte ahead in the final seconds but wound up missing a seven-footer. He atoned for it moments later by knocking down a game-tying step back three-pointer with five ticks left in regulation. He finished with 23 points in regulation before hitting a pair of free throws in overtime to give the Hornets a lead that they wouldn’t relinquish.

While Miller did provide a complete stat line on Friday, the field-goal percentage remains an issue. He shot 2-of-8 from beyond the arc against the Bulls and made just under 50 percent of his two-point attempts. For the season, Miller is shooting 36.6 percent from the field, which is why he’s ranked outside the top-150 in eight-cat formats. Hopefully, he can turn it around in time, because Miller’s fantasy value suffers for that reason.

Miller had a rough night inside the arc, making just one of his nine two-point attempts. However, a respectable 40 percent mark from three boosted his point total, and he did finish with a complete stat line. The five assists were the most he’s recorded in a game since the season opener, when Miller dished out seven helpers against the Nets. Staying healthy has been an issue for him this season, so the extra time off due to the NBA Cup may benefit Miller. Charlotte plays games on Friday and Sunday during Week 8.

It was only a two-game absence for Miller, but it was good to see him back on the floor since he has already missed so much time this season after missing most of last season. It wasn’t a spectacular first game back, but he was able to play 30 minutes in a blowout win over the Raptors. LaMelo Ball injured his ankle, and if he remains out, Miller should see a bump in usage in the coming weeks.

Miller was upgraded to probable earlier in the day after initially being listed as questionable. Now, he’s been cleared to suit up. His return should push Sion James back to the bench.

It’s good news for Miller, who has missed the last two games with a left shoulder injury. The 23-year-old small forward was upgraded to probable and is now likely to return against the Raptors on Friday. Sion James will head back to the bench, though Miller could be on a minutes restriction.

Miller has missed Charlotte’s last two games with a left shoulder injury, resulting in starts for rookie Sion James. If Miller can play against Toronto, James will be headed back to the bench. Due to his shoulder issues this season, Miller’s playing time may be limited if he can go.

Miller was held out of Monday’s loss to the Nets due to what the Hornets described as left shoulder soreness. Ahead of Wednesday, the injury is now listed as a left shoulder subluxation, which cost him 13 games earlier this season. Miller may be considered day-to-day, but fantasy managers should plan for the possibility of him being out for an extended period. Sion James should continue to start until Miller returns.

Absent from the Hornets’ initial injury report for Monday, Miller will not play due to left shoulder soreness. It’s the same shoulder that sidelined him for nearly a month, and he appeared to aggravate the injury during Saturday’s win over the Raptors. Sion James is the most likely replacement in the starting lineup. While the rookie has had his moments, he is not someone who needs to be rostered in redraft leagues.

After a stellar performance in Friday’s win over the Bulls, Miller played the second game of Charlotte’s home back-to-back. While the poor shooting was problematic, more concerning for fantasy managers was Miller exiting during the third quarter after appearing to aggravate his left shoulder injury. While he did return later in the quarter, the Hornets forward did not seem to be all that comfortable. The Hornets begin a four-game Week 7 in Brooklyn on Monday, but they won’t have any back-to-backs. Hopefully, Miller will be available for all four contests.

This was only Miller’s fifth appearance this season, but he has been fantastic when he has suited up this year. This game featured new season-highs for minutes, points, blocks and three-pointers and resulted in Charlotte’s fifth win of the season. Miller’s injuries over the last two seasons have been frustrating, but if he can stay on the floor moving forward, he will be worth the wait.

Miller led the way for the Hornets, shooting 4-of-9 from beyond the arc. The nature of Wednesday’s game, which the Knicks won 129-101, meant he got some extra time on the bench, with the Hornets already eliminated from the NBA Cup. However, his 28 minutes were two more than his total in Saturday’s loss to the Clippers. Miller can be a valuable fantasy option when playing without restrictions, so fantasy managers must be patient as he works to improve his conditioning.

Miller did not play in Sunday’s loss to the Hawks, as Charlotte was playing its second game in as many nights. His return means Sion James will head back to the bench, with the rookie already providing minimal fantasy value.

Saturday’s appearance against the Clippers was Miller’s first since October 25, so it’s unsurprising that back-to-backs are off the table for the time being. Sion James will likely return to the starting lineup, but he offers a limited fantasy ceiling. Fellow rookie Liam McNeeley should see his playing time increase as well.

Miller missed nearly a month of action with a shoulder injury before returning against the Clippers on Saturday. The 23-year-old small forward played 26 minutes in his first game back and that should only increase as he gets further away from the injury. Miller was a little rusty as he went 2-of-10 from three-point range, but still managed to score 21 points.

Injured during an October 25 game against the 76ers, Miller is ready to return to NBA action. Whether he’ll be under a minutes restriction is unknown, but fantasy managers should plan for the possibility due to the time missed. Sion James is the player most likely heading to the bench if Miller is inserted into the starting lineup immediately.

Miller hasn’t played since October 25, but his recall from the G League suggests he’s trending toward a return with the parent club. Miller’s eventual return may mean fewer minutes for Kon Knueppel, but Knueppel is a hold based on how well he’s played to start his NBA career.
