Brandon Miller Fantasy Stats

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (wrist) will miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery to repair a torn scapholunate ligament in his right wrist, the team announced on Thursday. The No. 2 pick overall in the 2023 NBA Draft looked very promising in his 27 games this season, averaging 21.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 1.1 steals while playing 34.2 minutes per game. He carried the load for the team when LaMelo Ball was out and will be a key part of the team's plans for the future after he recovers from this surgery. Nick Smith Jr. has stepped into the starting lineup in each of the last three games in Miller's place, averaging 14.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists, and 1.0 steal per game while playing 25+ minutes in each contest. Smith should continue to benefit from Miller's absence in the short term while Josh Green, Cody Martin, and eventually Tre Mann (back) will all help carry Miller's work going forward.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Miller appears to have suffered a wrist sprain during Wednesday's game. As a result, Miller won't play on Friday, so his next chance to get on the court will be on Monday. The loss of Miller is going to be tough to fill given Miller is playing over 30 minutes per game. The expectation is that the Hornets are going to use a committee approach to help fill the void. Cody Martin, Nick Smith, and Josh Okogie should all see more minutes on Friday. Out of the three, Martin is the best streaming choice and could be worth a look while Miller is out.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (wrist) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 22-year-old had 20 points, five boards, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's victory over the Utah Jazz. But he's uncertain to suit up on Friday because of a wrist sprain. Miller has already missed 10 games this season, so fantasy managers are keeping their fingers crossed regarding his availability versus the Bulls. If Miller Isn't out there, Seth Curry, averaging 10.6 points and shooting 45.9% from deep in eight starts this season, will likely fill the void in the lineup, making him an appealing value option for DFS managers.

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller will be able to return from his six-game absence on Sunday when the Hornets face the Cavaliers in Cleveland. Miller and LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) will both be back in action for Charlotte, giving them their two top offensive options for the first time since December 26. In his second season, the former No. 2 overall pick is having a breakout campaign, averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 34.5 minutes per game in his 23 games this season. Miller may be on a minutes restriction, but he should quickly step back into a key role in Charlotte's offense.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Miller has missed six of Charlotte's last seven games dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 22-year-old has been a solid option in Charlotte's offense when healthy, averaging 21.4 PPG this season. If active, fantasy managers can expect him to take quite a few shots from deep as Cleveland's defense is prone to three-point shooters. If not, expect LaMelo Ball (if active) to be the best fantasy option for the Hornets. If neither can go, expect Miles Bridges to become the main focal point of Charlotte's offense.

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (ankle) remains out on Friday against the Pistons. He's had the best season of his young career, averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 boards, and 1.1 steals. Unfortunately, the 22-year-old has been sidelined of late, missing time because of an ankle injury. Hopefully, Miller can play on Sunday versus Cleveland. But as far as Friday night is concerned, Miles Bridges, Seth Curry, and Vasilije Micic should see most of the offensive opportunities, considering LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) will miss a third-straight contest.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Detroit Pistons. Miller has missed five of the last six games due to a lingering ankle injury. The Hornets have also been without guard LaMelo Ball (wrist, ankle) for the last two games, so they've been shorthanded lately. Vasilije Micic and Seth Curry have been asked to take on bigger roles over the last few games. Curry has scored double digits in each of his last two games, but he doesn't offer much fantasy value outside of the scoring. That being said, Curry is a low-end streaming option if Miller is forced to miss Friday's game.

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (ankle) remains out for Monday's meeting with the Bulls. From a statistical standpoint, Miller has had a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.1 steals. Unfortunately, he'll now miss his ninth game of the year on Monday night. With LaMelo Ball (ankle) and Cody Martin (knee) also out, Miles Bridges, Tidjane Salaun, and Vasilije Micic are all on tap for expanded fantasy production.

Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Monday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The second-year wing returned from a three-game absence to play against the Wizards, but then was sidelined again in their last outing against the Thunder on Saturday. It looks like he'll have to miss another game due to the ankle sprain, as the injury bug continues to plague the Hornets. With Cody Martin (knee) also listed as doubtful, Josh Green and Tidjane Salaun are the best streaming options. The former posted 10 points, two rebounds, one assist, and three steals in their last game.

Charlotte Hornets guard Brandon Miller (ankle) won't play on Saturday against the Thunder. The 22-year-old missed the three games leading up to Thursday's clash with the Washington Wizards. While Miller was back on the floor for that one, finishing with 18 points and nine assists, he'll now miss another game. With LaMelo Ball (wrist, ankle) and Cody Martin (knee) also out, the team will look to Miles Bridges to get it done on the scoring end, with Vasilije Micic and Josh Green both in line for more offensive opportunities.
