Probable for Sunday Miller (back) is probable for Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Miller was initially probable for Friday's game versus the 76ers before the Hornets decided to ultimately hold him out. Despite the probable tag, fantasy managers will want to double check to make sure he gets the green light to suit up.

Brandon Miller Ruled Out vs. 76ers Another big loss for the Hornets on the road tonight.

MARCH 1 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Ruled out against Philadelphia Miller (back) won't play in Friday's game versus the 76ers, Roderick Boone of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Impact Miller has been downgraded from questionable to out for Friday's game versus the 76ers due to a lower back injury. However, the rookie forward's injury isn't expected to sideline him long-term. Seth Curry will start in his absence. Miller's next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with Toronto.

MARCH 1 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to questionable Miller (back) is now listed as questionable for Friday's game versus the 76ers.

Impact Miller's late addition to the injury report due to a low back injury and being subsequently downgraded to questionable is a bad sign of his availability Friday. If the rookie forward is ruled out, Bryce McGowens will likely receive increased playing time.

Late addition to injury report Miller is listed as probable for Friday's game versus the 76ers due to a low back injury.

Impact Despite being a late addition to the injury report with a low back issue, Miller is still expected to suit up against Philadelphia. The rookie forward shot 37.4 percent on 7.6 three-point attempts per contest across his 13 appearances in February.

Leading scorer in Thursday's loss Miller totaled a team-high 21 points (8-21 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and one assist in 40 minutes during Thursday's 111-99 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact The rookie forward continues to impress. Miller has scored in double digits in 16 straight games, averaging 20.6 points, 4.3 boards, 2.7 threes, 2.6 assists and 1.6 steals over that stretch on a depleted Hornets roster. That surge has come while LaMelo Ball (ankle) has been sidelined, but even though the fourth-year guard appears to be closing in on his return, that doesn't mean Miller's role is guaranteed to shrink once Ball is running the offense again.

Scores 14 points with 14 shots Miller had 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-7 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal across 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-85 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Miller has been struggling a bit from the field in recent weeks, though that was somewhat to be expected since he's a rookie who's enduring a huge workload on offense in a rebuilding team. Miller is averaging 16.8 points but shooting just 39.5 percent from the field over his last five contests.

FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE

Busy on defense Thursday Miller had 16 points (6-16 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, five assists and four steals over 38 minutes during Thursday's 115-107 victory over Utah.

Impact The rookie forward tied his season high in steals while setting a new season best in assists. Miller has caught fire over that last month, scoring in double digits in 12 straight games and averaging 22.2 points, 4.3 boards, 3.0 threes, 2.7 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.8 blocks as he begins to live up to his billing as the second overall pick in the 2023 Draft.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Extends impressive scoring run Miller had 26 points (8-19 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 36 minutes during Wednesday's 122-99 win over the Hawks.

Impact Miller needed a few weeks to adjust to the intensity of the NBA, but there's no question the second overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft is going through his most productive stretch of the campaign. He has scored in double digits in 11 outings in a row, a span in which he's averaging 22.7 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists across 34.8 minutes per contest.

Struggles to find shot Friday Miller produced 16 points (6-18 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Friday's 120-84 loss to the Bucks.

Impact Miler tied for the team lead with 16 points, but he needed 18 shots to accumulate that total and went just 1-for-6 from three-point range. It's certainly a positive for the rookie's fantasy managers that he's increasingly becoming a central part of Charlotte's offense, though Miller is likely to have semi-frequent poor shooting performances given his 43.9 percent field-goal rate on the season. Still, he's worked his way up to being nearly a must-roster player in fantasy with his recent play -- coming into Friday, Miller was averaging 23.3 points on 49.3 percent shooting along with 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 3.2 triples and 1.3 steals over his previous 12 contests.

FEBRUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Another strong display Miller provided 20 points (9-17 FG, 2-8 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 41 minutes during Wednesday's 123-117 loss to Toronto.

Impact Miller is going through his best stretch of the season and has emerged as one of Charlotte's most reliable offensive weapons, especially with LaMelo Ball (ankle) sidelined and the likes of Gordon Hayward and Terry Rozier no longer with the team. The rookie out of Alabama has reached the 20-point mark in six games in a row, averaging 27.7 points and shooting 49.2 percent from the field in that span.

Stays hot in Monday's loss Miller recorded 33 points (13-25 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists and four steals over 33 minutes during Monday's 124-118 loss to the Lakers.

Impact The second overall pick in the 2023 Draft topped 30 points for the second straight game and drained five three-pointers for the third straight contest. Miller has topped 20 points in nine of the last 11 games, averaging 23.6 points, 4.5 boards, 3.3 threes, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals over that stretch while shooting 40.9 percent from long distance. The 21-year-old forward's usage figures to remain sky-high until a Hornets roster that's currently missing LaMelo Ball (ankle), Gordon Hayward (calf) and Mark Williams (back) gets healthier.

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. Miller broke out in January and shows no signs of slowing down, scoring more than 20 points in eight of the last 10 games and averaging 22.7 points, 4.6 boards, 3.1 threes, 2.7 assists and 0.9 steals over that stretch while shooting 40.3 percent from beyond the arc.
