Mitchell (illness) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell sat out Friday against Detroit due to an illness, but after a pair of off days he looks to be recovered and is not included on the Kings' initial injury report for Monday's contest. The 2021 first-round pick has not been viable in most fantasy leagues this season. Over his last nine games, he's averaging just 5.7 points, 3.1 assists, 2.8 rebounds per game while shooting 37.0 percent from the floor.

Mitchell is a late scratch for Friday's game against the Pistons due to an illness.

EDGE Analysis

There was no indication until an hour and a half before tipoff that Mitchell was at risk of missing Friday's game. It will be his first absence of the season. In his stead, backup point guard minutes should be available for Matthew Dellavedova.

Mitchell will appear off the bench Tuesday versus the Sixers, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell seemed an obvious candidate to return to a bench role, with De'Aaron Fox cleared for a full workload Tuesday. Mitchell should see a slight dip in his workload as a result but shouldn't see a major change in his overall production.

Mitchell finished Friday's 106-95 win over the Cavaliers with eight points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), four rebounds and six assists over 33 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell moved into the starting lineup Friday but failed to come through with the goods. He has been relatively disappointing despite a few opportunities to play a more prominent role this season. Until he proves otherwise, Mitchell can safely be left on the waiver wire, even if he sticks in the starting lineup for any length of time.

Kings coach Mike Brown said Mitchell is in the starting five for Friday's matchup with Cleveland, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell will move into the starting lineup Friday with De'Aaron Fox (foot) out. The second-year guard will make just his second start of the season.

Mitchell ended Sunday's 110-101 win over Chicago with nine points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals over 24 minutes.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell saw a few extra minutes in the win, putting up low-volume contributions across the board. Despite being a constant in the rotation, Mitchell has been unable to translate his defensive upside into fantasy value. He is outside the top 300 for the season, putting him well off the radar when it comes to standard or even deeper formats.

Mitchell will come off the bench Saturday at Orlando, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

With De'Aaron Fox (knee) returning to the starting five, Mitchell will resume a bench role. As a reserve, he's averaged 7.5 points, 2.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 18.2 minutes.

Mitchell will start Wednesday's game against the Heat, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

With De'Aaron Fox (knee) sidelined, Mitchell will join the starting five as expected after recording 23 points, four rebounds and three steals in 31 minutes during Monday's win over the Hornets. Mitchell should continue to operate as the team's starting point guard going forward until Fox is able to return to the court.

Mitchell posted 23 points (9-11 FG, 5-6 3Pt), four rebounds and three steals over 31 minutes during Monday's 115-108 win over the Hornets.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell had easily his best game of the season Monday, shouldering more responsibility after D'Aaron Fox was ruled out early due to a knee injury. If Fox misses additional time, Mitchell is certainly a player to consider adding on a shirt-term basis. He won't be this good but should be able to do enough to have backend 12-team value.

Mitchell posted seven points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, one assist and one steal across 12 minutes during Thursday's 125-110 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell played just 12 minutes in the loss, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to the season. At this point, he is simply too far down the pecking order to have any chance at putting up meaningful production. His defensive abilities have been well documented but unfortunately, they don't translate into fantasy value.
