Hornets' Miles Bridges: Takes step back in 2025-26
Rotowire
Bridges ended Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic with 15 points (5-12 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist across 28 minutes.
Bridges propelled the Hornets to a 127-126 overtime victory over the Heat in Tuesday's Play-In Game, when he logged 28 points, nine rebounds, two assists, three blocks and one steal over 43 minutes, though he was unable to replicate that production in Friday's elimination loss. Bridges was productive to open the 2025-26 season, but his numbers dipped significantly following the All-Star break. Over his final 24 regular-season outings from Feb. 24 to April 12, he averaged 14.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.5 threes and 0.8 steals over 28.3 minutes per game. Part of that dip had to do with Bridges taking a back seat to the likes of LaMelo Ball, Kon Knueppel and Brandon Miller. Bridges is slated to earn $22.8 million in 2026-27, which is the final year he is under contract with Charlotte.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Productive in third NBA season
Rotowire
Miller closed with 14 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and two steals over 29 minutes during Friday's 121-90 Play-In Game loss to the Magic.
Miller played a key role in the Hornets' 127-126 overtime win over the Heat on Tuesday, though he was unable to replicate that success in Friday's elimination game. The 2023 first-rounder has established himself as a franchise cornerstone for the Hornets alongside LaMelo Ball and 2025-26 Rookie of the Year candidate Kon Knueppel. Miller ended the 2025-26 regular season averaging 20.2 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.1 threes, 1.0 steals and 0.7 blocks over 30.3 minutes per game. He has two years left on his rookie contract (including a $21.2 million qualifying offer for 2027-28), though Miller could earn a rookie max extension from the Hornets in the offseason.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Surpasses 20-point mark again
Rotowire
Miller accumulated 22 points (9-20 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and four steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 118-100 loss to the Pistons.
Even though LaMelo Ball's creativity and Kon Knueppel's impressive rookie numbers have grabbed headlines, it's worth noting that Miller has emerged as a reliable No. 2 option on offense for the Hornets while also improving his efficiency. Even though Miller's numbers this season are quite close to the ones he posted in 2024-25, he's posting career-best numbers in field-goal percentage, three-point shooting and free-throw efficiency. Miller should remain a reliable scoring threat for the Hornets in the Play-In Tournament.

Rotowire
Miller amassed 22 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt), six rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Friday's 129-108 victory over Indiana.
Miller finished with a team-best plus-22 differential in the blowout win, and it was nice to see him bring some defensive statistics to the box score after he failed to do so in his previous outing. Miller has been hot over the past three games, scoring 21.3 points per game on 52.3 percent shooting from the field and 100 percent at the stripe to go with 3.3 assists, 3.7 triples and 0.7 swats per contest.

Rotowire
Miller notched 29 points (8-17 FG, 5-11 3Pt, 8-10 FT) and eight rebounds in 34 minutes during Saturday's 118-114 loss to the 76ers.
Miller came just one point short of what would have been his sixth 30-point game of the season.

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Efficient in win Saturday
Rotowire
Miller chipped in 22 points (8-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one block in 30 minutes during Saturday's 124-101 win over the Grizzlies.
LaMelo Ball tends to carry the Hornets offensively on a game-to-game basis, but Miller certainly made his presence felt in this game with an efficient shooting display. Miller has reached the 20-point threshold in three of his last five appearances, and he's achieved that mark in nine of his 16 contests since the All-Star break. He's been thriving as the Hornets' No. 2 option on offense this season.
Miller registered 25 points (8-14 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 4-4 FT), eight assists and four rebounds over 28 minutes during the Hornets' 130-111 win over the Magic on Thursday.
The Hornets were looking to build on their 19-point lead coming out of halftime, and Miller aided that effort by scoring 15 points in the third quarter and finished as the team's second-leading scorer behind Coby White (27 points). It was a nice bounce-back performance from Miller, who entered Thursday's contest having shot 8-for-29 (27.6 percent) from the field in his two prior games. It was also the 11th time this season that Miller connected on at least five triples (six of which have occurred in the Hornets' 14 games since the All-Star break).

Hornets' Brandon Miller: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
Miller finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 4-6 3Pt), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 26 minutes during Tuesday's 136-106 win over the Heat.
Even though Miller posted a better line than the six-point dud he delivered in the loss to the Spurs on Saturday, it was still an underwhelming effort from the star wing. Miller has failed to reach the 20-point mark in five of his eight appearances in March, but the shooting woes are a new issue, as he's shooting 43.1 percent from the floor and 42.6 percent from three in that span. Over the last two games, though, that number has plummeted to 27.6 percent overall. Miller should eventually bounce back, so fantasy managers shouldn't be overly worried by his recent drop in efficiency.

Miller was hot from the jump, dropping in 16 points on nine shots over his first 13 minutes of play, and he tied his career high in rebounds. Miller has been shooting the lights out over the past three games, converting 60 percent of his shot attempts during that stretch. He'll look to keep the good times rolling Sunday in Phoenix.

Miller was unable to extend his streak of 20-plus-point performances to five, though he still led the Hornets in scoring while playing limited minutes during a blowout win. The third-year swingman also posted a game-high mark in blocks, supplying multiple swats for the 10th time this season.

It marked Miller's third game this season shooting at least 70 percent from beyond the arc on seven or more attempts, tying for the second-most such performances in the league.
