Mitchell has reached double figures in assists on nine occasions this season, with Thursday’s 11 being the most in a game for him since a New Year’s Day win over the Pistons. Add in the points, and “Off Night” finished with his fifth double-double of the season. The three-point shooting remains a work in progress, but Mitchell has made strides as a point guard this season.

After struggling with his perimeter shot in his first two-plus NBA seasons, Mitchell has made significant strides since joining the Heat last season. A 44.7 percent shooter from deep in his 30 regular-season games for Miami last season, “Off Night” has made over 39 percent of his attempts in 2025-26. Against the Celtics, Mitchell shot 5-of-10 from three and dished out seven assists without a turnover. The Heat play once more in Week 23, as they host the Wizards on Saturday.

The Heat have won six straight games, and Mitchell’s improvements as a playmaker is one of the reasons for the team’s surgery. During the streak, he has totaled 29 assists and five turnovers. Mitchell may not provide elite scoring, but the improved efficiency and defensive ability have given his fantasy value a welcome boost. The Heat play two more games in Week 20, starting with the Bucks on Thursday.

Mitchell was upgraded from questionable to available, as the Heat look to put together back-to-back wins for the first time in nearly one month. Mitchell, the team’s leader in assists per game, should play a pivotal role in getting Miami’s scorers going. Andrew Wiggins’ and Tyler Herro’s returns from injury should also benefit the Heat.

Mitchell showed up on the injury report Friday with a head injury before Miami’s first game following the All-Star break. The sixth-year guard has mostly succeeded as a playmaker in his first full season with the Heat, leading Miami in assists per game. Should he miss Friday’s contest, Kasparas Jakucionis and Dru Smith could be utilized even more.

Mitchell was back in the Heat lineup after a six-game absence, and if there was a minutes restriction, the Heat didn’t need to enforce it. With Miami winning by 41 points, and it wasn’t that close, Mitchell only played 21 minutes. The Heat have a three-game Week 16 without any back-to-backs; hopefully, that bodes well for Mitchell’s availability.

Having missed Miami’s last six games with a strained left shoulder, Mitchell appears poised to return to action on Sunday. If so, his return would likely push Kasparas Jakučionis to the bench. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Jakučionis should only be rostered in dynasty leagues.

Mitchell has missed the last five games for Miami and is now expected to make it six absences in a row. Kasparas Jakučionis should continue to start, but his minutes have been too low to make much of an impact as a streaming option. Dru Smith should play more minutes, but his value is often tied to steals.

Mitchell has missed the last three games and is in danger of missing a fourth. Kasparas Jakučionis has been starting in his place and will likely remain in that role if Mitchell remains out. He hasn’t been great as a starter, but his minutes have gone up, so he should get an opportunity to produce.

Mitchell missed Thursday’s game against the Trail Blazers, which allowed Kasparas Jakučionis to start in his place. Jakučionis should start again if Mitchell remains out, but he only played 11 unproductive minutes against Portland and shouldn’t be considered as a streaming option against Utah.
