Miller

Reports from last week indicated that Miller would be out indefinitely, but this is the worst case scenario for him. He should be ready to go before the start of next season, but for now, Nick Smith Jr. has slid into the starting lineup in his place. Smith Jr. has had a few solid performances as a starter and should be worth streaming in place of Miller.

Miller’s injury-plagued season is potentially over as the 22-year-old small forward is out indefinitely with a torn ligament in his right wrist. He had dealt with an ankle injury earlier this season before popping up on the injury report with a wrist injury this week. Miller’s injury is a tough blow to the Hornets and fantasy teams alike.

Miller popped up on the injury report Thursday as questionable with a wrist injury and will subsequently miss Friday’s game against the Bulls. Cody Martin and Josh Okogie could see extra minutes in the 22-year-old small forward’s absence.

Miller has popped up on the injury report with a new injury, which also happens to be his shooting wrist. If he plays, it may bother him, but if he isn’t able to suit up, Cody Martin and recently-acquired Josh Okogie may get the chance to take on extra minutes.

After playing well for most of November, an ankle injury upset Miller’s offensive rhythm. That’s something he’s working to get back, with the second-year wing scoring 19 points or more in three of his last four outings. Miller’s ranked just outside the top 50 in 9-cat formats, with the biggest issue in the short-term being Charlotte’s schedule. Week 12 is a two-game week for the Hornets, who visit Chicago on Friday.

Miller’s recent absence due to a sprained ankle upset his offensive rhythm. The second-year wing had scored 20 points or more in 12 straight games before missing six of seven games. However, while Miller didn’t have a great night shooting the ball, he did dish out six assists while committing only one turnover. For the season, Miller’s ranked just outside the top-50 in 9-cat formats, and improved playmaking would raise his fantasy ceiling moving forward.

Miller had missed six of their previous seven games due to a sprain in his left ankle, but he picked up right where he left off in this one. This was his sixth game with at least six 3-pointers this season and was able to start up a new 20-point streak. He went 12 straight games with at least 20 points prior to his ankle injury, and he’ll look to keep this new one going against the Suns on Tuesday, where they’ll also be trying to snap their 10-game losing streak, which is currently the longest in the league.

After missing six of their last seven games, Miller will be back in the lineup for this matchup. Seth Curry has been able to supply some 3-pointers and points as a starter in place of Miller, but he won’t be worth rostering in a return to a reserve role.

Miller has missed six of Charlotte’s last seven games with a sprained left ankle. Seth Curry has filled the void in the starting lineup, but the veteran guard has been ranked outside the top 200 in 9-cat formats over the past two weeks. Unless it’s an act of desperation, there isn’t much to gain from streaming Curry if Miller remains out.

Miller will be missing his sixth game in the last seven Hornets games with this ankle injury. He was originally listed as questionable, but will not be unavailable Friday. Seth Curry will likely continue to start for Charlotte, though his fantasy value remains limited.
