Comes alive in second quarter
Miller posted 26 points (7-21 FG, 3-9 3Pt, 9-9 FT), eight rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 35 minutes during the Hornets' 111-106 win over the Spurs on Saturday.
Analysis
Miller struggled from the field for most of Saturday's game outside of the second quarter, when he scored 18 of his game-high 26 points. He was perfect from the charity stripe, and his nine made free throws were his most in a game since Dec. 29 against the Bucks (10). Miller's performance extended his streak of 20-plus-point games to 10, and over that span he has connected on 51.2 percent of his field-goal attempts (including 43.8 percent from three-point range) while averaging 24.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.5 threes and 0.9 steals over 30.7 minutes per game.

Extends scoring run
Miller accumulated 23 points (7-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), six rebounds, two assists and one block in 27 minutes during Thursday's 123-121 win over the Mavericks.
Analysis
Miller reached the 20-point mark for the ninth straight game, and he continues to be one of the most reliable offensive weapons for a rising Hornets team that has won four of its last five contests. Over that nine-game stretch, Miller is averaging a solid line of 24.6 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 3.6 three-pointers made per game.

Probable for Thursday
Miller (ankle) is probable for Thursday's game against the Mavericks.
Analysis
The Hornets are generally cautious with Miller, but for now the plan is for him to suit up in the second leg of this back-to-back set. During Wednesday's win over the Grizzlies, Miller finished with 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and three assists across 30 minutes.

Continues scoring tear
Miller closed Wednesday's 112-97 win over the Grizzlies with 26 points (9-17 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and three assists across 30 minutes.
Analysis
The third-year man from Alabama has now scored 20 or more points in eight consecutive games. In that span, he's averaging 24.8 points per game. The recent burst has increased his scoring average for the season to 20.5 points per game. Charlotte has four players averaging at least 18 points this season, and that might be sustainable, especially if they continue to win games and climb the standings.
