By the numbers: Miller has recorded 2.3 points per game and 2.0 rebounds per game and 0.9 assists per game in 2026-27 through 8 games. Strus has recorded 9.0 points per game and 3.7 rebounds per game and 3.7 assists per game in 2026-27 through 3 games.
What to watch: Both players look to expand their on-court chemistry as regular-season rotation patterns solidify throughout November.
