Mitchell continues to shine for the Thunder, recording his fourth 20-point game of the season on Sunday. While fantasy managers are right to wonder what will happen once the reigning champions have their complete rotation, that’s a problem for another day. Until Jalen Williams and Luguentz Dort return from their injuries and are playing starter’s minutes, Mitchell needs to be rostered. And he may even be a hold once those two return. He’s been that good thus far.

Mitchell once again filled in for Luguentz Dort and again provided the Thunder with solid production. He didn’t reach the same 20-point mark as he did against the Trail Blazers on Wednesday, but managed to supplement a nice scoring outing on Friday with a season-high 10 assists. The double-double marked the first of the season for the second-year guard, while he compiled four stocks on the defensive end. Mitchell continues to produce in his sophomore season and has turned himself into a roster-worthy player in fantasy leagues.

Rostered in 31 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mitchell continues to provide top-100 value in nine-cat formats. He filled in for the injured Luguentz Dort on Wednesday, providing efficient scoring and playmaking. The lone disappointment for those who rostered Mitchell was that he didn’t record any defensive stats despite averaging 1.6 steals per game. If Dort’s shoulder injury sidelines him for an extended period, Mitchell will be even more appealing to deep-league managers and some standard-league managers as well.

Wednesday’s game is the second in as many nights for the Thunder, who are without Luguentz Dort and Chet Holmgren. Mitchell and Wiggins, who have provided solid deep-league value this season, will fill the resulting voids in the starting lineup. Both are worth rostering, as is Isaiah Joe, despite coming off the bench.

Initially questionable for Tuesday’s game, Mitchell is available and will remain with the Thunder bench rotation. He’s played well enough to merit being rostered in most 14-team leagues and some 12-team formats. Mitchell is worth rostering as long as the Thunder are without Jalen Williams.

Mitchell is dealing with a bilateral glute contusion, hence his appearance on the initial injury report for Tuesday’s game. Despite coming off the bench, the second-year guard has provided reliable fantasy value as Oklahoma City has played without multiple players, most notably Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren. If Mitchell cannot play, Isaiah Joe will figure more prominently in the rotation.

Rostered in 32 percent of Yahoo! leagues, Mitchell has been one of the biggest surprises in fantasy basketball thus far. He’s providing fifth-round value in 12-team formats, which is excellent production for a player barely on anyone’s radar during the preseason. The Thunder being without Jalen Williams and Isaiah Joe, with the latter making his season debut on Thursday, opened the door for Mitchell. And he’s made the most of his opportunities.

As evidenced by his nonexistent Yahoo! ADP, Mitchell wasn’t on anyone’s fantasy radar during the preseason. Well, through five games, he’s ranked just outside the top-50 in nine-cat formats, providing consistent value off the bench. Mitchell has reached double figures in all five games, scoring at least 14 points in each. He’s rostered in 30 percent of Yahoo! leagues, a sign that many managers have not hesitated to join the bandwagon. And it’s worth holding onto him as long as Jalen Williams (wrist) and Isaiah Joe (knee) remain sidelined.

Mitchell was a difference-maker for Oklahoma City in this one as he came off the bench to knock down seven of his 10 shots from inside the three-point line. The 23-year-old guard is averaging just under 19 points per-game this season as he continues to take advantage of his opportunity with Jalen Williams still out while recovering from offseason wrist surgery.

Even with Cason Wallace back, Mitchell refused to be slowed down on offense. Mitchell has gotten off to a fantastic start to the season and has averaged 18.7 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.7 three-pointers per game. The Thunder are still without Jalen Williams (wrist), Alex Caruso (concussion) and Nikola Topic (groin), which has opened the door for Mitchell to play more minutes. However, it will be difficult for coach Mark Daigneault to bench him when everyone is healthy.

What a start to the season Mitchell has had. The 2024 second-round pick has been able to carve out a big role for the reigning champs and has delivered two straight big performances off the bench. Mitchell is currently rostered in 13 percent of Yahoo! leagues and seems worthy of a short-term stream. When Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace and Alex Caruso are back, there may not be enough minutes for Mitchell to maintain this level of production despite how well he has started the season.

Although Mitchell was limited to 36 games last season due to a foot injury, he showed flashes of being able to contribute consistently when he was healthy. The second-year guard had a good night off the bench in Tuesday’s season opener, scoring 16 of Oklahoma City’s 36 bench points. With Jalen Williams (wrist), Isaiah Joe (knee) and Nikola Topić (groin) currently sidelined, there is a slight opening for Mitchell within the Thunder rotation. However, it’s important to remember he only played 15 minutes Tuesday night despite those absences. He’s worth adding to watchlists, but that’s about it right now.

Mitchell suffered a lower-body injury in the loss, potentially rolling his ankle. It’s unclear if the injury contributed to his limited playing time, but he was excellent when on the court. Mitchell is too far down OKC’s depth chart to be a weekly contributor in redraft leagues, but he’s a fine stash in dynasty leagues.

Mitchell continues to play like a player that is too good to be playing in Summer League. They’re undefeated in Las Vegas, so they’ll have a chance to compete for the championship, which may be the only reason for Mitchell to continue to play at this point.

Mitchell was able to earn rotation minutes as a rookie before a toe injury in January sidelined him for over three months. For that reason, the time taking on a prominent role for Oklahoma City’s summer league team is invaluable as Mitchell heads into his second season. And with the Thunder signing him to a three-year deal in late June, it’s clear the franchise believes in the 2024 second-round pick. Now, Mitchell must clean up the turnovers after committing seven on Saturday. But it’s fair to wonder if he’s shown the Thunder enough in Las Vegas to be shut down for the rest of the event.

After playing well in Oklahoma City’s three games in Salt Lake City to begin the summer, Mitchell carried over his solid play into Thursday’s opener in Las Vegas. With the second-year guard agreeing to a three-year contract on June 29, his immediate future in Oklahoma City is secure. While Mitchell’s role may not be one in which he provides consistent fantasy value once the 2025-26 season begins, he showed as a rookie that he can step up and be an asset when his name is called.

Mitchell has been the best player on the floor for most of Summer League, and that was the case once again on Tuesday. He shot the ball better than he did on Monday, and he was able to fill up the box score as well. We’ll see how many games Mitchell gets to play in Las Vegas. The extra time on the floor will certainly help, but he could already have proven what he needs to.

Mitchell dominated against Memphis on Saturday, and while he didn’t shoot the ball that well in this game, he was still able to contribute plenty of value. The 2024 second-round pick has played really well through two games this summer after a strong rookie season. He’ll have a chance to be part of the OKC rotation next season, and it wouldn’t be shocking if he didn’t play many more games this summer.

The 2024 second-round pick just played in the NBA Finals a few weeks ago, and that experience was evident in this game; it looked like he was playing a different sport entirely. Mitchell was dominant in this game, and he probably won’t be asked to play many more games during Summer League. He’ll compete for a rotation spot for the defending champions next season.

Not long after deciding to decline Mitchell’s team option, the Thunder have secured his immediate future in Oklahoma City. The 38th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Mitchell averaged 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists in his 36 appearances. A toe injury suffered on January 3 sidelined him for over three months. Mitchell does not offer much fantasy value in his role, but he’ll provide additional depth off the Thunder bench.

Mitchell has been sidelined since January 3 after undergoing surgery to address a right great toe sprain. The 2024 second-round pick had some solid performances prior to his injury and was able to carve out a reserve role for a talented Thunder team. He wasn’t great in his 18 minutes on Friday, but it was good to see him back on the floor. He should play a significant role in the regular season finale in New Orleans on Sunday, but he won’t play much during the postseason.
