Miller had 19 points (7-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Friday's 132-125 victory over the Bucks.
Miller turned in another strong performance, playing a larger role than what might have been expected coming into the season. After an encouraging end to the 2025-26 campaign, Miller has picked up where he left off, forcing his way into the rotation. It appears as though Tiago Splitter is not afraid to shuffle his lineups, which is both good and bad when it comes to projecting Miller's fantasy value. At this point, he could be considered for streaming purposes, under the assumption that his playing time could reduce at the drop of a hat.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Available to play
Rotowire
Miller (groin) is available for Wednesday's regular-season opener in Toronto.
Miller made some noise in December last season, averaging 16.1 points, 7.9 rebounds, 1.6 triples and 0.9 blocks per contest on 58/41/67 shooting splits through the final seven games of the year. It'll be interesting to see what his role looks like in the rotation while Nic Claxton (hamstring) is out.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Listed as probable
Rotowire
Miller is probable for Wednesday's game against the Raptors with a right adductor strain.
This is a new injury for Miller, though it sounds minor. The Bulls have quite a few injuries, so Miller could be in the mix for a rotation spot after a strong showing in the preseason.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: To remain in Chicago
Rotowire
The Bulls picked up their $2.4 million team option for Miller on Saturday, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.
Miller played well after getting traded to Chicago last season, churning out regular-season averages of 11.7 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 triples per contest on 56/36/76 shooting splits. However, with the additions of Dailyn Swain and Caleb Wilson, it could be tough for Miller to find meaningful minutes in the rotation when the team is healthy.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Available versus Magic
Rotowire
Miller (hand) is available for Friday's game against Orlando.
Miller popped up on the injury report due to a hand injury. However, after being listed as probable heading into the meeting with Orlando, he is now officially good to go. The 22-year-old had a 26-point, 11-rebound double-double with three assists, one steal and one block across 39 minutes in Thursday's 119-108 win over Washington.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Starting sans Buzelis
Rotowire
Miller will start Sunday's game against the Suns, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
With Matas Buzelis (illness) sidelined, Miller will slide into the starting lineup. As a starter this season (seven games), Miller has averaged 11.7 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists and 1.1 stocks in 28.4 minutes.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Struggles in start
Rotowire
Miller racked up five points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one steal across 16 minutes during Saturday's 125-124 loss to Memphis.
Miller was elevated to the starting lineup, sliding in at center for the first time this season. While the promotion was encouraging, his performance was certainly not. In fact, this was his worst performance in quite some time, having scored in double digits in nine straight games prior to Saturday. Despite the lack of production, Miller remains a viable fantasy option, albeit one with a seemingly unpredictable role.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Flirts with double-double
Rotowire
Miller registered 17 points (7-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds and three assists over 23 minutes during Monday's 132-124 win over the Rockets.
Miller continues to turn heads, despite the fact that his playing time has subsided in recent games. He has now scored in double digits in seven straight games, putting up top-100 value during that time. With averages of 13.7 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.1 three-pointers, he should at least be on the radar in standard leagues, although his overall upside is somewhat limited.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Entering starting five
Rotowire
Miller will start Tuesday's game against the Warriors.
Miller logged only one minute off the bench Sunday against the Kings, but he'll be in line for a much larger workload Tuesday due to the Bulls missing Isaac Okoro (knee) and Collin Sexton (lower leg). Miller finished with eight points and nine rebounds in his only other start this season, which came against Phoenix last Thursday.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Probable Saturday
Rotowire
Miller (wrist) is listed as probable for Saturday's game against the Pistons.
Miller was recalled from the G League's Windy City Bulls on Saturday and is likely to suit up for the parent club. He appeared in Windy City's 141-135 loss to Raptors 905 on Friday, during which he tallied 16 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block in 30 minutes. Even if he's cleared to play for Chicago on Saturday, he isn't guaranteed to see meaningful playing time.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Not spotted on injury report
Rotowire
Miller (recently traded) is off the injury report for Saturday's game against Denver.
Leonard looks to be in the clear for his Bulls debut Saturday. Given the unstable role he occupied during his time in Minnesota, it's not guaranteed the 2023 second-rounder hits the court in a notable manner against the Nuggets.

Bulls' Leonard Miller: Traded to Chicago
Rotowire
The Timberwolves traded Miller, Rob Dillingham and four second-round picks to the Bulls in exchange for Ayo Dosunmu (quadriceps) and Julian Phillips (wrist) on Thursday, Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic reports.
A second-round pick back in 2023, Miller never found his footing in Minnesota with just 49 career regular-season appearances. He could get a real opportunity in Chicago down the stretch with the team pivoting toward a rebuild, but at least in the short term, he's just someone to monitor in deeper formats. He should be considered questionable to debut Saturday versus Denver.

Timberwolves' Leonard Miller: Iffy for Wednesday
Rotowire
Miller is questionable for Wednesday's game against Dallas due to lower-back spasms.
Miller's absence would affect Minnesota's frontcourt depth, but it wouldn't have a major impact on the rotation as a whole. The forward hasn't seen double-digit minutes since the Nov. 17 win over the Mavericks.
