Mitchell provided 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), six assists, one rebound and one steal across 32 minutes in Monday's 123-108 win over the Pelicans.
EDGE Analysis
While appearing on the top unit for the second time in four games in place of De'Aaron Fox (hamstring), Mitchell didn't supply an eye-popping line, but his efficient shooting made his overall output better than what he had provided in most of his previous six starts this season. Fox is expected to be back in action for the Kings' next game Thursday versus the Knicks, putting Mitchell in line to move back to the bench while seeing a steep reduction in playing time.

Mitchell will enter the starting lineup for Monday's game against the Pelicans with De'Aaron Fox (hamstring) unavailable, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Over six starts this season, Mitchell has compiled averages of 8.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists, 1.3 triples and 1.3 turnovers per contest on 46.7 percent shooting. He will draw a favorable matchup against New Orleans, but he's still more of a deep league option.

Mitchell finished with 15 points (6-10 FG, 3-7 3Pt), one rebound, four assists, one block and one steal in 33 minutes during Tuesday's 123-117 victory over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was moderately productive Tuesday, sliding into the starting lineup with De'Aaron Fox ruled out due to a wrist injury. Although his numbers won't set the world on fire, this was actually one of Mitchell's best games of the season. Despite having started a handful of games thus far, he typically struggles to have any sort of tangible impact. Until Fox returns to action, Mitchell is at least worth a look in slightly deeper formats.

Mitchell is in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Thunder, Chris Biderman of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell will replace De'Aaron Fox (wrist) in the starting lineup Tuesday. The second-year guard is averaging 7.4 points, 3.0 assists and 2.2 rebounds in 27.6 minutes across his previous five starts this season.

Mitchell amassed two points (1-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two assists across 14 minutes during Sunday's 124-115 win over the Thunder.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell didn't add much in his time on the floor Sunday night. He may still see double-digit minutes each game, but the young guard really only provides enough fantasy value as a streaming option when the team becomes shorthanded, allowing him to get that added usage. In the meantime, he doesn't need to be rostered in almost any league.

Mitchell will return to the second unit for Monday's game against the Rockets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
De'Aaron Fox (personal) is back after a two-game absence, which will prompt Mitchell's return to the second unit, and his value will take a significant hit. The Sacramento starting five will be comprised of Fox, Kevin Huerter, Harrison Barnes, Keegan Murray and Domantas Sabonis on Monday.

Mitchell totaled three points (1-5 FG, 1-4 3Pt), one rebound and one assist in 22 minutes during Friday's 107-104 loss to the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell moved into the starting lineup Friday, taking over for De'Aaron Fox, who was out due to personal reasons. While seen as a potential stream candidate, Mitchell came up empty, continuing a trend of poor production when starting. At this point, he simply isn't an impactful player. Even managers in deeper formats may be better off looking for upside when scouring the waiver wire.

Mitchell will draw the start Friday against the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was the logical candidate to get the starting nod once it was announced De'Aaron Fox would sit out Friday's tilt, and Kings head coach Mike Brown confirmed has confirmed that will be the case. Mitchell has averaged 8.0 points, 4.0 assists and 2.7 rebounds over 29.0 minutes in his three previous starts this season.

Mitchell finished with four points (2-3 FG), three rebounds, five assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Saturday's 117-110 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell played fewer than 20 minutes for the 10th time in his past 11 games, serving up a giant plate of nothing. For a player known as an elite defensive stopper, Mitchell has been unable to translate that into tangible fantasy production. He is currently averaging just 0.5 steals per game for the season, a number that certainly won't get it done when it comes to fantasy value.

Mitchell supplied 19 points (7-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one steal in 20 minutes off the bench in Sunday's 132-119 win over the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell's 19 points gave him his second-best total of the season and exceeded his scoring production from the previous four games combined. With the Kings having enjoyed better health than any team this season, Mitchell has rarely had the opportunity to seize hold of major minutes for an extended period of time, and he'll likely remain stuck in a limited bench role so long as all of De'Aaron Fox, Kevin Huerter and Malik Monk steer clear of long absences.
