Miller will start Sunday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
The Pelicans elected to change up their starting five with Nikola Mirotic (ankle) ruled out yet again, so Miller will get the nod over Solomon Hill. Miller is averaging 8.6 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.4 assists per contest over his previous seven games.

Miller logged 11 points (4-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt, four rebounds and a steal across 32 minutes in Friday's 112-104 loss to the Lakers.
EDGE Analysis
Miller recorded one of the highest plus-minus totals of the game in a bench role. He's emerged as one of the Pelicans' most dependable second-unit players and showed his talents in a spot start against the Bucks earlier in the week, where he put up a season-high 20 points.

Miller scored 20 points (7-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt) and added two rebounds, two assists and a steal in 36 minutes Wednesday against the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Miller, who got a spot-start with Julius Randle (ankle) and Nikola Mirotic (ankle) out, eclipsed the 20-point threshold for the first time this year, tying a career-high with six treys in the process. Even when he's given minutes, Miller has a one-dimensional fantasy game as he can be a good source of threes but provides little else of value.

Miller will start Wednesday against the Bucks, Will Guillory of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Julius Randle (ankle) and Nikola Mirotic (ankle) out, Miller will draw the start. It will be his first start of the year, though Miller has seen 30-plus minutes in four games. In those contests, he's averaged 6.8 points, 2.8 assists and 2.5 rebounds.

Miller produced 11 points (4-11 FG, 3-10 3Pt), two assists and one steal across 30 minutes in Monday's 124-107 loss to the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
Of the 19 shots Miller has taken in the last two games, 16 of them have been three-point attempts. While he has played over 30 minutes in each contest, it's hard to believe he is anything more than a deep sharpshooter coming off the Pelicans' bench going forward.

Miller (quad) scored nine points (3-4 3Pt.) and recorded a rebound along with an assist across 17 minutes in Monday's loss to Oklahoma City.
EDGE Analysis
Miller entered the day probable with a quadriceps issue, and he managed to take the court as expected. Prior to Monday's contest, he'd only taken one shot on the year, but he was able to get it going from beyond the arc, knocking down three of four 3-point attempts. Miller figures to remain in a bench role for Wednesday's tilt versus Chicago.

Miller (quad) is listed as probable for Monday's game against the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Miller missed four consecutive games with a quad injury before returning for their last game. The probable designation makes it likely he will play, however the final call will be made prior to Monday's game.

Miller (quad) has been cleared to play Saturday against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Miller was previously questionable due to a lingering right quadriceps injury, but will be able to make his return after a four-game absence. It's unclear if he'll be limited in his first game back.

Miller (quadriceps) is questionable for Saturday's game at San Antonio.
EDGE Analysis
Miller has been absent for the last four contests due to a lingering right quadriceps bruise but has been officially ruled as questionable for Saturday's date versus the Spurs. Teammates E"Twaun Moore and Soloman Hill will fill in for Miller if he can't go.

Miller (quad) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Trail Blazers.
EDGE Analysis
This marks four straight absences for Miller while he continues to nurse a bruised right quad. The Pelicans will likely continue leaning on E'Twaun Moore to play heavy minutes on the wing in Miller's absence while Soloman Hill fills in off the bench on a limited basis.
