Miller is averaging 24.3 points, 6,0 rebounds, and 3.3 assists across the Hornets' six-game winning streak. While Miller is in his second consecutive season of averaging 20+ points per game, his 37.7% shooting clip from behind the 3-point arc, and 0.9 blocks per game this season are career-bests.

Miller talked about how his confidence is at an all-time high, per Hornets Reddit.

“I feel great, my confidence level is high. I take my hat off to my teammates every night, because without them I wouldn’t have games like this, without their trust,” Miller said. “So as long as I keep trusting them, we’re gonna keep pushing these wins to the city of Charlotte.”
