Brandon Miller News
Charlotte Hornets guard/forward Brandon Miller (wrist) has been cleared to play on Friday against Orlando. The team has upgraded him from probable to available. Miller is set to make a 17th consecutive appearance despite dealing with a right wrist sprain. He's averaged over 34 minutes per game since the All-Star break, even hitting the 40-minute mark twice in the past three games. The 21-year-old rookie should be heavily involved again in Friday's action, although it's an uncomfortable matchup against a good defensive team that plays with a slow pace. Miller has recorded 19.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in three previous clashes with the Magic this season.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (wrist) is listed as probable for Friday's contest against the Orlando Magic. The 21-year-old is battling through a right wrist sprain. However, the injury does not appear to be serious. Miller played in Wednesday's match-up versus the Portland Trail Blazers despite being listed as questionable with the same ailment. Miller has been playing heavy minutes for the Hornets while also putting up quality scoring numbers. He has averaged over 17 points per game during his rookie season, which recently includes a 31-point performance against the Cavaliers on March 27.
Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (wrist) has been upgraded to probable for Wednesday's game versus the Portland Trail Blazers. It sounds like Miller's sprained right wrist isn't going to keep him out of action in an advantageous matchup against the Blazers, who rank 26th in the league in opponent field-goal percentage (49.3%). The 2023 No. 2 overall pick out of Alabama got off to a slow start this year but has swiftly become one of Charlotte's cornerstones, averaging 18.8 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.4 assists, and 2.9 three-pointers in 34.2 minutes over his last 16 games. With Miles Bridges (wrist) doubtful, Miller is set to handle extra usage for the Hornets as an exciting fantasy option on Wednesday.
Charlotte Hornets forwards Miles Bridges (wrist) and Brandon Miller (wrist) are both questionable for Wednesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. The injury-plagued 18-57 Hornets could be in serious trouble in this one, as their entire starting lineup could be watching from the sidelines. Bridges has a right wrist contusion, and Miller is dealing with a sprained wrist. It's anyone's guess who would benefit most from a fantasy perspective if one or both of the two forwards are out, but Davis Bertans and Aleksej Pokusevski would likely handle heavy minutes in the frontcourt and attract the attention of some fantasy managers as streamers in a soft matchup against the 19-58 Blazers. It's difficult to cast judgements on Charlotte's rotation at this time with such a deep injury report, though.
