Fantasy Analysis
Miller is averaging 9.8 points with five assists and 3.8 rebounds in his last five contests. He is making 66 percent of his 3-pointers over that span and is shooting a solid 58 percent from the floor. While his scoring has been a little inconsistent of late, he continues to see solid minutes off the bench and does a good job filling up the stat sheet on a nightly basis. The 35-year-old has been a viable option in Fantasy for years now so keep Miller active in the majority of formats. (Updated 02/09/2012).

01/30/2012 10:56 What's on the Schedule: Week 6
Another busy week in the NBA, with the Pistons one of three teams to play five times during the upcoming scoring period. Our Adam Moore helps owners take full advantage of the Week 6 slate.
The 35-year-old Miller has reached the twilight of his NBA career after 13 seasons. Entering his 14th, Miller looks to be out of a starting job as he moved over to the Nuggets after two seasons in Portland. New coach George Karl is ready to begin the Ty Lawson era in Denver, with Miller playing mostly a bench role and backing Lawson up. Miller has definitely been durable over the course of his career as he’s played at least 80 games in each of his seasons. That fact really cannot be understated as he’ll be ready to fill in for Lawson should the youngster get hurt. Miller was solid but not spectacular with the Trail Blazers last season over 33 minutes per game. He put up 12.7 points, 7.0 assists and 3.7 rebounds per game and shot 46 percent from the field. Of course, he only shot 11 percent from 3-point range and he’s going to get even fewer shots with the Nuggets. Miller should still see plenty of minutes and could see even more should Lawson struggle. That said, his value is definitely as low as it has been heading into the 2011-12 season. Consider him just inside the top 40 Fantasy guards. Miller should be drafted beginning in the late-middle rounds. (Updated 8/28/11)
