Impact The rookie set a new career scoring high to lead a top-heavy Hornets roster -- two of Miller's teammates delivered 19-plus points, but the rest of the squad combined for a total of 23.

Hits for 21 in Wednesday's loss Miller supplied 21 points (8-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, three assists and one steal over 38 minutes during Wednesday's 117-110 loss to the Bulls.
Impact The second overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft continues to catch fire. Miller has topped 20 points in six of the last eight games, averaging 20.5 points, 4.5 boards, 2.8 assists and 2.6 threes over that stretch. The eventual return of Gordon Heyward (calf) could cut into the rookie's usage, but Miller may also have established himself as one of the top options in the Hornets' offense by then.

Matches career-high 29 points Miller logged 29 points (11-19 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 4-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block across 39 minutes during Monday's 113-92 loss to New York.
Impact Miller scored at least 20 points for the fifth time in his past seven outings, matching his career-high with 29 points. The rookie has flashed his offensive upside in recent times, establishing himself as a must-roster fantasy asset. While this performance did come without LaMelo Ball (ankle) in the lineup, the Hornets would be wise to continue rolling with Miller as a primary offensive option, given the draft stock they have invested in him.

Hot streak continues Wednesday Miller provided 23 points (8-17 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and one block in 39 minutes during Wednesday's 113-106 loss to Detroit.
Impact The 2023 second overall pick is beginning to find his rhythm in the NBA. Miller has scored at least 23 points in four straight games since missing a couple of contests in mid-January due to a bruised back, averaging 24.3 points, 6.5 boards, 3.5 threes, 2.8 assists and 0.8 steals over that stretch while shooting 57.4 percent from the floor and 45.2 percent (14-for-31) from beyond the arc. The 21-year-old's surge can't simply be dismissed as the product of a favorable schedule, either -- one of those performances came against a Timberwolves team that ranks first in the league in points per game allowed, while another came against the eighth-ranked Sixers.

Continues booming Miller closed with 27 points (11-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 29 minutes during Monday's 128-125 win over the Timberwolves.
Impact Miller notched his third consecutive game with 20-plus points, bringing his season total to nine such performances. His three-point stroke has leveled out at 38.2 percent shooting on 5.5 attempts per game, although it's been extremely volatile on a night-to-night basis. Regardless, the rookie is firmly on the rise, averaging 24.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists on 14.7 shots and 61.4 percent shooting across his last three games.

Hits 20-point mark again Miller ended with 23 points (8-17 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 5-5 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and one block in 35 minutes during Saturday's 97-89 loss to the 76ers.
Impact Miller recorded back-to-back games with at least 20 points for the first time in his career, and the rookie forward continues to settle in as a regular contributor for a struggling Hornets team. He also left behind a subpar four-game stretch between Jan. 5 and Jan. 12, where he averaged just 7.3 points per game while shooting a dreadful 25.6 percent from the field.

Near double-double Friday Miller totaled 24 points (8-14 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 4-5 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and two steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 124-120 victory over the Spurs.
Impact Miller was one rebound shy of registering his first career double-double. He missed the Hornets' last two games with a back bruise he sustained Jan. 12, but he came back in style with his first 20-point outing since Dec. 29. Miller is averaging 8.8 points per game in January and has had a volatile start to the new year.

Iffy against Spurs Miller (back) is listed as questionable for Friday's game versus San Antonio.
Impact Miller is in danger of missing his third consecutive contest Friday due to a back contusion. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Cody Martin will likely continue to start.
