To say that Miller struggled with his shooting on Thursday would be putting it mildly. The 23-year-old small forward was hardly efficient with 17 points on 22 field goal attempts, which included a 1-of-12 performance from behind the three-point line. Miller should continue to get more shots with Miles Bridges still suspended, but he’ll need to do better than volume scoring to his reach his ceiling.

Miller didn’t have his most efficient performance, but it was enough to get the win. It was also his highest-scoring game since December and just his fourth 30-point game of the season. With Miles Bridges set to be suspended for three more games, Miller should continue to take on a few extra shots per game, which could lead to more big performances after the All-Star break.

Miller followed up his 10-game streak with at least 20 points with three straight games below that mark. While he got back on track in this game, Charlotte’s winning streak came to an end. Miller was better than he had been over the past week, which is great to see after a short lull. The Hornets have one more game before the All-Star break having Miller stay hot against the Hawks on Wednesday should help them get back to their winning ways before a week off.

Miller and the Hornets have now won six consecutive games, the franchise’s longest win streak since March 2016. And he’s been on a roll recently, scoring at least 20 points in 10 straight games. Another impressive streak for Miller is that he’s made his last 38 free throws. Over the past two weeks, he has provided first-round per-game value in 12-team leagues. The Hornets play three games in Week 16, starting with the Pelicans on Monday.

Miller’s start to the season wasn’t pretty, but he has flipped the switch recently. This was his ninth straight game with at least 20 points, and he has shot at least 50 percent from the floor in five straight games. This wasn’t his best performance of the stretch, but he has been on another level offensively, which has led to elite production for fantasy managers. He’ll look to stay hot against the Spurs on Saturday to wrap up the week.

Miller’s stellar play continued on Wednesday. He was great from behind the three-point line and used his production there to help extend his streak of double-digit scoring performances to eight games. The third-year forward wasn’t a major contributor across any other statistical category, but his recent run as a scorer should leave many optimistic about what his future could look like.

Monday’s game was one of the best of the season for Miller, and not just because he notched his third 30-point game. The third-year wing only needed to attempt 12 shots from the field to get the job done, shooting 6-of-9 from beyond the arc. And with the Hornets leading by as much as 50, Miller did not play at all during the fourth quarter. He’s been on a roll recently, having scored at least 20 points in seven consecutive games.

Miller got hot late in the third quarter and scored 11 points over the final six minutes of the frame. He didn’t do any more scoring in the fourth quarter, but he didn’t need to due to the lopsided score. This was his fifth straight game scoring at least 20 points, which is his longest stretch of the season. He has shot the ball more efficiently in recent weeks, which has helped his value. He’ll look to stay hot against the Wizards on Saturday.

Miller is enjoying one of his most productive scoring stretches of the season, having tallied at least 23 points in four consecutive games. According to Basketball Monster, he’s been a third-round player in eight-cat formats over the past week. As long as he stays healthy, Miller is capable of offering excellent fantasy value, especially considering how productive he’s been recently.

Miller handled the bulk of the scoring duties for the Hornets on the second night of a back-to-back with Miles Bridges, LaMelo Ball and rookie sensation Kon Knueppel taking a back seat in a one-sided affair. The 23-year-old forward drained 6-of-10 shots, including 4-of-4 from three-point range, to score 18 of his 23 points by halftime. He was able to take off most of the final quarter after Charlotte built up a 33-point advantage in the final stanza. The Hornets have a three-game week coming up that features matchups against the Cavaliers, Magic and Wizards.

Miller came out of the gate hot and finished 6-of-11 from three-point range, falling just short of reaching the 30-point mark for the third time this season. The issue for Charlotte in this one was one the defensive end of the floor as they allowed Golden State to pile up 136 points on 55 percent (51-of-93) shooting, including 44 percent (23-of-52) from beyond the arc. The Hornets have a three-game week coming up with matchups against the Cavaliers, Magic and Wizards.

Miller was one of several Hornets players to have a productive night on the offensive end against the Lakers. He utilized the free-throw line and was productive both inside and outside the arc before finishing as Charlotte’s second-leading scorer for the game. Miller also tallied three stocks on defense to further boost his solid final line and provide fantasy managers with more production.

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 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.

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.
