EDGE Analysis
Mitchell provided ample support with the second unit during the decisive win. Although a spot in the starting five isn't possible at the moment, Mitchell is enjoying a sharp increase in court time from his rookie year. Through six games, the UCSB product is averaging 27.1 minutes per game.

Mitchell recorded 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two steals and one assist across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 107-101 victory over the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell's strong start to the season continued Tuesday with another double-digit scoring performance, highlighted by three made three-pointers that tied his season high from the opener Oct. 21. The UC Santa Barbara product impressed throughout Summer League and preseason play and has carried that momentum into the regular season, averaging 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.6 minutes per game through five contests to open the 2025-26 campaign.

Mitchell ended Monday's 101-94 win over the Mavericks with 17 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell scored at least 14 points for the fourth straight game, continuing what has been a surprising start to the season. While his playing time has been inconsistent, his production has made a lot of people sit up and take notice. While there are certainly no guarantees, Mitchell is worth taking a flier on, just in case he can turn this short-term production into long-term value.

Mitchell registered 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven assists, seven rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes during the Thunder's 117-110 win over the Hawks on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell had another nice game off the bench Saturday, leading the bench in scoring and the Thunder in assists while finishing third in rebounds behind Chet Holmgren (12) and Isaiah Hartenstein (10). Mitchell averaged just 16.6 minutes per game last season, but he has gotten extended run early in the 2025-26 campaign due to the absences of Isaiah Joe (knee), Alex Caruso (concussion) and Jalen Williams (wrist).

Mitchell closed Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime win over the Pacers with 26 points (9-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Fresh off a 16-point performance in the season opener, Mitchell delivered once again, going off to the tune of 26 points. The Thunder were without a number of key players, affording Mitchell an opportunity to shine on the big stage once again. While his role will likely reduce once the roster is back to full health, his early-season production definitely has him on the fantasy radar, even in standard formats.

Mitchell finished Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime win over the Rockets with 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 15 minutes.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was a spark plug off the Oklahoma City bench, stepping up in the absence of Isaiah Joe (knee) and Jalen Williams (wrist), both of whom are considered day-to-day. Mitchell's role could be in jeopardy when the Thunder are at full strength, but he made a strong case for himself to remain involved Tuesday.

Mitchell (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Rockets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell appears to have overcome an ankle injury that hindered him during the preseason, setting the stage for him to be available Tuesday. That said, it might be a challenge for the guard to crack the Opening Night rotation.

Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
EDGE Analysis
This will be the second straight game on the bench for Mitchell, so for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup with Houston. That said, Mitchell is a negligible part of the rotation, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy hoops.

EDGE Analysis
Mitchell went down with what appeared to be a painful leg injury. He performed incredibly well during the 15 minutes he was on the floor, racking up 16 points, one rebound, three assists, two steals and one block. The next chance for him to return to the floor will be Tuesday against the Bucks.
