Upgraded to probable Miller (wrist) is probable for Wednesday's game against Portland.
Impact Miller and Grant Williams (ankle) have been upgraded from questionable to probable, while Miles Bridges (wrist) has been downgraded to doubtful. Nick Richards (foot) is also out, so the Hornets' frontcourt is expected to be shorthanded, opening up more playing time for Aleksej Pokusevski, Davis Bertans, Leaky Black and JT Thor.

Hits 20-point mark again Miller ended with 22 points (8-19 FG, 5-13 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one block across 40 minutes during Sunday's 130-118 loss to the Clippers.
Impact Miller's performances in his first year in the league might have been overshadowed by the likes of Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, but that doesn't change the fact that the first-year forward has injected some much-needed life into the Hornets' anemic offense. Miller has now scored at least 20 points in four of his last six games and is aiming to end his first year in The Association on a high note.

Game-high 31 points vs. Cavs Miller ended Wednesday's 118-111 win over the Cavaliers with 31 points (11-19 FG, 7-13 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block across 35 minutes.
Impact Miller led all scorers for the second straight night Wednesday, in a game that saw no other Hornets player score 18 points or more. Miller has now reached 20-plus points in three of his last four games and has averaged 22.3 points on 44.9 percent shooting (including 44.4 percent from three on 9.0 3PA/G), 5.8 rebounds and 1.5 assists over 34.8 minutes per game over that span.

Hits for game-high 24 in loss Miller supplied 24 points (8-18 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 5-5 FT), eight rebounds and three assists across 37 minutes during Monday's 115-92 loss to the Cavaliers.
Impact The rookie wing led all scorers on the night, but no other Hornet scored more than 13 points. Miller is showing signs of fatigue toward the end of his first NBA campaign, but he's still produced 20-plus points five times in 11 March games and has averaged 17.7 points, 5.4 boards, 2.5 assists, 2.5 threes and 0.8 steals on the month despite shooting just 41.8 percent from the floor and 70.4 percent from the free-throw line.

Scores 13 points in loss Saturday Miller amassed 13 points (5-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 34 minutes during Saturday's 132-91 loss to the Hawks.
Impact Miller has settled into an established offensive role for the Hornets, so by now, it's not a surprise to see him score in double digits while attempting 10 or more shots every time he steps on the court. The rookie out of Alabama has shown flashes of his potential, and while his game remains rough around the edges, the Hornets are going to give him plenty of minutes especially now that they're eliminated from the playoffs. Miller is averaging 17.1 points per game since the beginning of March.
MARCH 24 • ROTOWIRE
Leads Hornets in scoring Tuesday Miller accumulated 21 points (7-20 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 112-92 loss to Orlando.
Impact It was the first time since March 9 against the Nets that Miller scored 20-plus points in a game. He struggled overall from the field, but he managed to hit four threes for the 15th time this season. He's averaging 17.6 points per game in March, and he and Miles Bridges are the only Hornets players to provide some semblance of scoring prowess as Charlotte ranks last in the NBA in offensive rating over its last 15 games.

Impact Miller flared his elbow out and connected with Tyrese Maxey's face, so he was quickly assessed a Flagrant Two foul. With Miller's night done early, the Hornets could rely more on Grant Williams, Aleksej Pokusevski and Davis Bertans.

Well-rounded performance Miller recorded 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, seven assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Monday's 114-97 loss to Detroit.
Impact Miller wasn't overly efficient on a night when Charlotte shot just 38.6 percent from the field as a team, but he chipped in across the board and facilitated without committing a turnover. Monday marked his first game of the season logging more than three assists in a turnover-free outing, alluding to the rookie's upside as a secondary playmaker.

Scores 18 points in loss to Orlando Miller supplied 18 points (7-15 FG, 4-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 101-89 loss to the Magic.
Impact Miller was coming off the first double-double of his career in his previous game, and while he was unable to repeat such feat in this loss to Orlando, he continued to score the ball at a very efficient rate. Miller has surpassed the 15-point mark in seven of his last 10 appearances, averaging 17.9 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.3 steals per game in that span. Miller has been the lone bright spot in what has been another lost season for the Hornets.
