BRANDON MILLER NEWS

Downgraded to questionable Miller has been downgraded to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cavaliers due to a right wrist injury.

Impact Miller has been one of the few bright spots in another lost year at Charlotte, and there's a chance the rookie forward is held out of the season finale since the team has no reason to risk him in a meaningless game. Miller is averaging 18.5 points, 4.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game since the All-Star break.

Amost perfect in victory Miller finished with 32 points (11-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 5-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 39 minutes during Friday's 124-115 victory over the Magic.

Impact Miller went 11-of-13 from the field en route to a team-high 32 points, continuing his impressive rookie campaign. He has scored at least 20 points in six of the past nine games, putting up top-80 value during that time. Although he doesn't have the upside of Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren, Miller has certainly endeared himself to fans in Charlotte and looks to be a key piece for them moving forward.

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.

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.

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.
