Brandon Miller

Brandon Miller has continued to progress in his recovery from offseason left shoulder surgery.

Miller underwent surgery back in May. His role should only grow this upcoming season with the departures of LaMelo Ball and Miles Bridges.

Brandon Miller scored 19 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3P, 6-7 FT) with three rebounds, two assists, and two stocks in the Hornets’ 110-96 win over the Knicks.

Fantasy Impact

Miller had a bit of a falloff in April, with his rebounding and assist numbers dropping to the lowest they’ve been since October. It’s not a great time to be slumping, but with the rest of the Hornets squad showing ability to endure it, it’s not been too big of an issue.

Brandon Miller scored 20 points (8-16 FG, 2-8 3PT, 2-2 FT) to go along with two assists in the Hornets 113-102 loss against the Celtics.

Fantasy Impact

Miller struggled from deep, but he was efficient from inside the arc. The rest of his stat line was quiet on the night. He bounced back from a poor shooting performance on Sunday against the Timberwolves.

Miller finished Friday's win over the Pacers with 22 points (9-of-17 FGs), six rebounds, four three-pointers, three assists, one steal, and one block — his first game with at least one steal and one block since March 6.

Fantasy Impact

The defensive contributions don't show up often on his stat line, which makes Friday's line a bit more useful than his typical output for fantasy managers looking for that extra edge.

Miller scored 16 points without missing a shot in the first quarter Tuesday, setting the tone for Charlotte's 117-86 win over the Nets. He finished with 25 points (7-of-13 FGs, 7-of-7 FTs), four three-pointers, three assists, and one block to lead the Hornets in scoring.

Fantasy Impact

A perfect night from the free-throw line kept the total strong even after the first-quarter pace slowed, and leading a blowout win with 25 points on efficient shooting is a useful fantasy line regardless of the lopsided score.
