Leonard Miller Fantasy Stats

Chicago Bulls forward Matas Buzelis (illness) won't play on Sunday against the Phoenix Suns. The 21-year-old has been ruled out due to illness. With Josh Giddey (hamstring) also sidelined, the Bulls will have two new starters on Sunday. Collin Sexton will join Tre Jones in the backcourt, while Leonard Miller will be Buzelis' replacement. Miller has been one of Chicago's best players in recent weeks, and a starting role will further elevate his fantasy value. In seven starts, Miller has posted averages of 11.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game.

Chicago Bulls guard Collin Sexton and forward Leonard Miller will join the first unit for Thursday's tilt against the Phoenix Suns. The two will replace Josh Giddey (ankle) and Matas Buzelis (ankle), respectively. While Sexton has plenty of prior experience as a starter, Miller will make his first career start. He has earned the opportunity by averaging 11.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.3 steals off the bench across the last three games. Tre Jones, Isaac Okoro, and Guerschon Yabusele are also in the starting lineup against the Suns.

Minnesota Timberwolves forward Leonard Miller was the team's top scorer with 20 points in Monday's 108-96 Summer League defeat to Utah. He hit a solid 2-for-4 from downtown and had a 7-for-15 overall record from the field. The 33rd pick of this year's draft also contributed well defensively by getting three steals, and he completed his work with five rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes. This was a second consecutive impressive effort from Miller after he made his Summer League debut Friday with a 16-point, 11-rebound double-double. He has just signed a four-year deal with at least two seasons guaranteed, and Miller appears to be capable of helping the Timberwolves in multiple ways, although it remains to be seen how big of a role he will have during his rookie campaign.
