Leads third-quarter charge
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.
Analysis
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).

Shooting woes continue
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.
Analysis
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.
