Brandon Miller (wrist) has been ruled out ahead of Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Miller appears to have suffered a wrist sprain during Wednesday's game. As a result, Miller won't play on Friday, so his next chance to get on the court will be on Monday. The loss of Miller is going to be tough to fill given Miller is playing over 30 minutes per game. The expectation is that the Hornets are going to use a committee approach to help fill the void.
Cody Martin, Nick Smith, and
Josh Okogie should all see more minutes on Friday. Out of the three, Martin is the best streaming choice and could be worth a look while Miller is out.

Brandon Miller (wrist) is questionable heading into Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. The 22-year-old had 20 points, five boards, three steals, and one block in Wednesday's victory over the Utah Jazz. But he's uncertain to suit up on Friday because of a wrist sprain. Miller has already missed 10 games this season, so fantasy managers are keeping their fingers crossed regarding his availability versus the Bulls. If Miller Isn't out there,
Seth Curry, averaging 10.6 points and shooting 45.9% from deep in eight starts this season, will likely fill the void in the lineup, making him an appealing value option for DFS managers.

Brandon Miller will be able to return from his six-game absence on Sunday when the Hornets face the Cavaliers in Cleveland. Miller and
LaMelo Ball (ankle, wrist) will both be back in action for Charlotte, giving them their two top offensive options for the first time since December 26. In his second season, the former No. 2 overall pick is having a breakout campaign, averaging 21.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 3.7 assists in 34.5 minutes per game in his 23 games this season. Miller may be on a minutes restriction, but he should quickly step back into a key role in Charlotte's offense.

Brandon Miller (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Miller has missed six of Charlotte's last seven games dealing with a left ankle sprain. The 22-year-old has been a solid option in Charlotte's offense when healthy, averaging 21.4 PPG this season. If active, fantasy managers can expect him to take quite a few shots from deep as Cleveland's defense is prone to three-point shooters. If not, expect
LaMelo Ball (if active) to be the best fantasy option for the Hornets. If neither can go, expect
Miles Bridges to become the main focal point of Charlotte's offense.
