Mitchell posted 25 points (10-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), one rebound, seven assists and one steal across 38 minutes during Wednesday's 110-109 win over the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell won a thriller in a duel against his former backcourt mate Tyrese Haliburton. In an equally significant duel, Mitchell matched the also-dealt Buddy Hield with 25 points to co-lead the game in scoring. Mitchell has had back-to-back 25-plus point performances and his stock is rising. The 23-year-old is a boom candidate against the Magic on Saturday.

Mitchell logged 28 points (9-22 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds, nine assists and one steal across 46 minutes during Sunday's 127-124 overtime loss to the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell didn't have his best shooting effort, as he needed 22 shots just to score 28 points, but he thrived in other categories and ended just one assist away from posting what would've been his first double-double of the season. Mitchell has played mostly off the bench this season, but he should remain in the starting unit until De'Aaron Fox (hand) is able to return.

Mitchell accumulated 12 points (5-14 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, two assists, one block and one steal in 35 minutes during Friday's 126-97 loss to the Celtics.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie got the start with De'Aaron Fox (hand) sidelined, and while he saw his most minutes in well over a month, it wasn't a banner night. Still, Mitchell has now scored in double figures in four straight games, and he's shooting an encouraging 49.1 percent from the floor during that span.

Mitchell is starting Friday's game against the Celtics, Jared Weiss of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 23-year-old will make his first start since Feb. 8 with De'Aaron Fox (hand) unavailable against Boston. Mitchell has scored in double figures in four of his last five appearances.

Mitchell amassed 19 points (8-13 FG, 3-7 3Pt), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 30 minutes during Wednesday's 135-126 loss to the Bucks.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell finished with his highest point total since Feb. 3, shooting an efficient 8-for-13 from the field and draining a trio of three- pointers. The rookie guard has picked up his scoring of late, notching double-digit points in four of five contests after failing to do so in five of his previous six games. Mitchell is averaging 10.2 points, 3.3 assists, 2.2 boards and 1.3 three-pointers on the season.

Mitchell contributed 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), two rebounds and three assists over 30 minutes during Monday's 131-115 loss to the Knicks.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell logged the most minutes among Sacramento's reserves, but he put forth a relatively muted effort in the loss. That has been the norm for the rookie of late -- he came into the contest averaging 22.8 minutes but just 7.3 points and 2.3 assists over his past four contests. Mitchell has shown some flashes of excellence this season, but he's not playing well enough right now to warrant a roster spot in most fantasy leagues.

Mitchell finished with seven points (3-10 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three assists and one steal across 30 minutes during Thursday's 128-110 loss to the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell missed Sacramento's previous contest with a sore right hand, but the All-Star break provided enough time for him to recover. However, the rookie struggled with his shot against Denver, missing all four of his three-point attempts and going 3-for-10 from the field overall. Mitchell did see 30 minutes off the bench, which is a positive sign for his playing time moving forward. He averaged 26.0 minutes over 54 games prior to the break.

Mitchell (hand) is no longer listed on the injury report ahead of Thursday's game against the Nuggets.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell went through a full practice Tuesday and Wednesday, so the writing was on the wall, but his removal from the report officially signals his return from the hand injury that kept him out of the Kings' final game before the break. While he may continue to come off the bench behind Justin Holiday and De'Aaron Fox, Mitchell figures to continue to play a key role for the Kings down the stretch. He'll face some competition for minutes from deadline arrival Donte DiVincenzo, however.

Mitchell (hand) practiced in full Tuesday and is likely "ready to roll" for Thursday's game against the Nuggets, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
Mitchell was dealing with right hand soreness before the break, but the time off seemingly fixed the issue. He's seen at least 20 minutes in each of his past 15 games, with averages of 13.9 points, 4.2 assists and 2.7 rebounds.

Mitchell (hand) is out Wednesday against the Bulls, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie is missing his first game since Dec. 28, and we won't see him again until after the All-Star break. His absence could open up minutes for Donte DiVincenzo, Josh Jackson and other guards.
