Miller (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Lakers, Andrew Lopez of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Miller won't play Saturday, although he has a chance to return to action on Monday against Philadelphia. The fifth-year forward's been dealing with a right ankle sprain which kept him out of Friday's game against Indiana. Look for Stanley Johnson, Frank Jackson and Solomon Hill to see minor increases in run until Miller returns.

Miller (ankle) is doubtful for Saturday's matchup against the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Miller will probably miss a second straight game Saturday, as he's dealing with a sprained right ankle. His presumed absence opens up more playing time for the likes of Stanley Johnson, Frank Jackson and Solomon Hill.

Miller (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected after being listed as doubtful, Miller will be sidelined for the first game out of the All-Star break. It remains unclear how Miller suffered the injury or how severe it is, but he should be considered day-to-day for now. E'Twaun Moore and Stanley Johnson should be in line for some extended minutes in Miller's absence Friday.

Miller (ankle) is doubtful for Friday's matchup against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Miller is nursing an ankle injury, which will be evaluated Friday, and it's doubtful he'll be deemed able to take the court. In his absence, E'Twaun Moore and Stanley Johnson could see more run.

Miller is nursing an ankle injury and will be re-evaluated on Friday, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
As of now, it's unclear when Miller suffered the ankle injury or how serious it is, but it looks like the team will provide an update at some point Friday. Should Miller be unable to play Friday, Kenrich Milliams, E'Twaun Moore and Stanley Johnson would all be in line to see extended action against Indiana.

Miller put up eight points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), five assists, four rebounds and one steal in 35 minutes Thursday in the Pelicans' 131-122 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
After a one-game benching, Miller re-entered the starting five Thursday with Jahlil Okafor heading back to the second unit. While the forward was able to pick up some playing time with the move to the starting five, he was largely an afterthought during his time on the court, as evidenced by his underwhelming 8.2 percent usage rate. After a stretch of seven consecutive double-digit scoring performances from Jan. 24 to Feb. 6, Miller has now been held under 10 points in four straight contests. That looks to be the new norm for Miller now that the Pelicans have gotten several key players back from injury in the past week and a half.

Miller is starting Thursday against the Thunder, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller moved to the bench for Tuesday's clash with Orlando, but he'll rejoin the starting lineup for his team's final game before the All-Star break. E'Twaun Moore will shift back to the bench as a result. Miller is averaging 11.6 points, 2.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists over his previous seven starts.

Miller will come off the bench Tuesday against the Magic, Andrew Lopez of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Miller will come off the bench for the first time in seven games, as coach Alvin Gentry opts to switch things up two games before the All-Star break. As a reserve, Miller is averaging 6.9 points, 1.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists across 23.0 minutes.

Miller (face) finished with eight points (3-10 FG, 2-8 3Pt) and two assists across 20 minutes Saturday in the Pelicans' 99-90 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was forced to depart at one point during the contest after suffering a facial laceration but was able to return. Even after accounting for the time he required in the locker room to receive treatment, Miller's minutes were still down notably after he played no fewer than 30 in any of the previous six games. With rookie Kenrich Williams shining at the moment and E'Twaun Moore (quadriceps) re-entering the picture at small forward Saturday following a six-game absence, Miller could be looking at this level of playing time on a more frequent basis moving forward.

Miller went to the locker room due to a cut under his eye during Saturday's game against the Grizzlies, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The injury doesn't seem serious. Miller should be considered questionable to return, however.
