Miller recorded four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and three rebounds over 17 minutes during Wednesday's 105-102 victory over Houston.
Miller came up short yet again, scoring single digits for the fifth straight contest. Despite the removal of James Harden, Miller has seen his role regress in recent times, playing fewer than 20 minutes in his past two games. Given his recent lack of production, managers are fine to move on from him in standard leagues. However, he is certainly worth monitoring, should Los Angeles pivot at any point down the stretch.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Apt fill-in from bench
Rotowire
Miller notched 21 points (9-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Monday's 128-113 loss to the 76ers.
If James Harden's (personal) trade comes to pass, it'll be an interesting race between Miller and Kobe Sanders for Harden's spot in the starting lineup. Both players are equally capable, but Sanders seems to be the preferred choice for now. At 6-foot-8, Sanders provides more size in the backcourt, but Miller's skill set fits the role a bit better. He outplayed Sanders during Monday's loss, and the third-year pro certainly deserves some attention on the waiver wire in deeper leagues.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Stays hot off bench
Rotowire
Miller racked up 16 points (7-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two steals across 23 minutes during Sunday's 126-89 win over the Nets.
Miller's emergence has been a big catalyst for Los Angeles' turnaround, and many fantasy managers have been glad to have scooped him up. Over his last 11 appearances, Miller has produced averages of 13.4 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 three-pointers in 27.0 minutes on 54.5 percent shooting from the field.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Cools off in loss
Rotowire
Miller ended Tuesday's 138-110 loss to the Bulls with 12 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds and two assists in 22 minutes.
Miller scored in double digits for the fifth straight game, although all in all, it was a somewhat sobering performance. Kawhi Leonard continues to miss games due to a knee issue, affording Miller a much larger role in the rotation. In eight appearances over the past two weeks, he has averaged 13.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.3 three-pointers in 28.3 minutes per game. He remains a viable standard league asset, at least until Leonard is cleared to return, although this is a reminder that Miller is unlikely to move the needle every night.

Miller chipped in 16 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT), five rebounds, four steals, three assists and one block in 28 minutes during Monday's 110-106 victory over the Wizards.

Rotowire
Miller contributed 19 points (8-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt), six assists, four steals and two rebounds in 46 minutes during Friday's 121-117 overtime victory over the Raptors.
Miller logged a game-high workload in minutes in Friday's overtime thriller and capitalized with an efficient scoring night, steady playmaking and active defense. The 25-year-old has been a strong contributor off the bench of late, averaging 14.8 points, 3.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.4 steals on 58.5 percent shooting from the field and 47.4 percent from deep over the past five games. With Bogdan Bogdanovic (hamstring) and Derrick Jones (knee) dealing with lingering injuries, the Clippers have leaned on Miller for added production, and he's delivered consistently.

Rotowire
Miller registered nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Monday's 103-102 win over the Warriors.
James Harden got the night off due to shoulder soreness, opening up some minutes for Miller. He certainly delivered, and the coaching staff likely took notice. Prior to this strong outing, Miller saw a total of 14 minutes in his previous three appearances.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Out again Saturday
Rotowire
Miller (back) will remain out for Saturday's game against the Timberwolves, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Miller (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Hawks, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
After a seven-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Miller returned to action in Monday's loss to the Heat. However, he was unable to play in the second half due to the back issue, which could now keep him out of Wednesday's contest. If the 25-year-old swingman is ultimately ruled out, Kobe Sanders and Cam Christie are candidates for a slight bump in minutes.

Clippers' Jordan Miller: Won't return Monday
Rotowire
Miller won't return to Monday's game against the Heat due to lower-back tightness, NBA writer Justin Russo reports.
Cleared to play for the first time since Nov. 16 after a seven-game absence due to a left hamstring strain, Miller logged six minutes in the first half and produced six points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one steal before succumbing to a new injury. Miller could be healthy enough to play in the Clippers' next game Wednesday against the Hawks, but he may be at risk of falling out of the rotation if Bogdan Bogdanovic (hip) is also available for that contest.

Miller has missed the past seven games with a hamstring injury, but it appears he'll be available for Monday's game. He'll likely have some minutes restrictions as he's eased back into things, though, so Miller can't be considered a viable target in standard fantasy leagues.

Miller is out for Thursday's game against the Magic due to left hamstring soreness, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Thursday is set to be a second consecutive absence for Miller, whose next opportunity to return is Saturday in Charlotte.
