Mitchell (COVID-19 protocols) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Thunder, Sean Cunningham of ABC 10 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell will miss his sixth straight game due to the league's health and safety protocols. His next chance to return will be Wednesday against the Mavericks.

Mitchell (COVID-19 protocols) is out Friday against the Grizzlies, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell was initially listed as questionable due to protocols and is now, unsurprisingly, sidelined for at least Friday's game against the Grizzlies and possibly longer. De'Aaron Fox and Terence Davis are also in protocols, so the Kings will be quite shorthanded in the backcourt, especially with Tyrese Haliburton (back) also questionable. Buddy Hield and Harrison Barnes could end up shouldering the offensive load.

Mitchell was placed in COVID-19 protocols and is listed as questionable for Friday's contest with the Grizzlies, Jason Anderson of The Sacramento Bee reports.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell has an outside chance of playing Friday, but he'll likely be unavailable against Memphis. The timing couldn't be worse for the rookie first-round pick, who just made his first career start Wednesday, totaling 13 points, five assists, two rebounds and a block across 29 minutes. The Kings are in danger of being without their top three point guards against the Grizzlies, as De'Aaron Fox (COVID-19 protocols) has already been ruled out and Tyrese Haliburton (back) is questionable.

Mitchell will start Wednesday's game against the Wizards, James Ham of ESPN 1320 Sacramento reports.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie first-round pick will make the first start of his NBA career Wednesday. Mitchell has averaged 11.2 points, 3.5 assists and 2.4 rebounds in 25.8 minutes across the past 10 games and should continue to see heavy minutes for Sacramento.

Mitchell had eight points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four rebounds and six assists across 26 minutes during Monday's 124-101 loss to Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the blowout situation, Mitchell's role remained constant, as he's now played between 24 and 28 minutes in seven straight games. The rookie out of Baylor has some appeal for fantasy managers in need of assists and steals, but his percentages are poor, and he's not adding quite enough in other counting-stat categories to warrant holding in most season-long, roto leagues.

Mitchell chipped in 20 points (7-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and two steals across 28 minutes during Wednesday's 124-115 win over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell had a hot hand off the bench in the win, knocking down three of four attempts from beyond the arc en route to his second game of 20-plus points on the season. The rookie guard has been inconsistent throughout the campaign, but he has been given ample opportunity to succeed, frequently seeing minutes in the 20s and 30s. Mitchell is averaging 9.4 points, 3.4 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 three-pointers in 23 games thus far.

Mitchell racked up 11 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four rebounds, six assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes during Sunday's 128-101 loss to the Grizzlies.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell had plenty of playing time off the bench in this one, and he scored in double figures for the second time in the last three games. During that span, he's averaged 10.7 points, 3.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists in 26.0 minutes per contest.

Mitchell posted five points (2-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds and four assists across 26 minutes during Friday's 108-89 loss to the Raptors.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell fumbled his way through 26 minutes of sub-par basketball Friday as the Kings succumbed to the Raptors. It's been an indifferent start to Mitchell's career, as he's flashed his defensive upside while also battling to be a consistent offensive producer. The trajectory of the team is likely going to impact his fantasy value as we progress through the season. If the Kings are to fall out of the playoff race, there is a chance his role increases, at which time he could at least move into the standard league discussion.

Mitchell closed with 13 points (6-16 FG, 1-8 3Pt), three rebounds and six assists across 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to San Antonio.

EDGE Analysis

Mitchell scored 22 points in his third game of the season and while many believed that was just an outlier, the rookie has begun to turn heads with his play of late. He has scored in double digits in five of his last six contests and is flashing enough offensive upside to become a streaming pick in most formats, especially if Tyrese Haliburton (back) remains out.

Mitchell is averaging 12.6 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 28.0 minutes across the past five games.

EDGE Analysis

The rookie quickly became a staple of coach Luke Walton's rotation. He's a defender first, but he's shown offensive upside lately. Unfortunately, his defensive skill doesn't translate to steals and blocks, so fantasy managers aren't getting a bump there. Still, he's worth a flier in deeper leagues.
