Mitchell’s absence opens up a spot in the starting lineup, with Tyler Herro being his potential replacement. Herro may still be under a minutes restriction, so there may also be a few more minutes for Dru Smith.

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.

Saturday’s game will be the sixth consecutive game that Mitchell has missed with a strained left shoulder. Rookie Kasparas Jakučionis has been the replacement in the starting lineup, and that will likely remain the case on Saturday.

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.

This will now be five straight missed games for Mitchell. Kasparas Jakučionis will continue to fill in as the starting point guard with Mitchell and Tyler Herro (ribs) both sidelined. Jakučionis remains off the fantasy radar.

Wednesday’s game will be the fourth that he’s missed as he continues to deal with a left shoulder injury. Kasparas Jakučionis will continue to fill in as the starting point guard, but his value has not been enough to merit being streamed in most leagues.

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.

Sunday’s game will be the third that Mitchell has missed with a sprained left shoulder. Kasparas Jakučionis (face) has started the last two, but he’s questionable. If the rookie can’t play, Dru Smith will likely be the next man up at point guard.

Mitchell has missed Miami’s last two games with a sprained left shoulder, and it appears likely that he’ll miss a third on Sunday. Kasparas Jakučionis has started the last two games, but he’s questionable with a facial contusion. If both are unable to play, Dru Smith will likely move into the starting lineup. He would be worth streaming in that scenario.

Mitchell will miss a second consecutive game with a left shoulder injury. While Kasparas Jakučionis should get another start, he played 11 ineffective minutes in Thursday’s loss to the Trail Blazers. There’s no need to consider streaming Jakučionis.

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.

Mitchell returned to the Heat lineup on Monday after missing the prior two games with a left shoulder contusion, most recently logging 19 minutes in Tuesday’s win over the Kings. If he’s unable to play against Portland, the Heat will likely turn to Kasparas Jakučionis to fill the void. The rookie would be worth streaming if allowed to start.

Mitchell will be back after missing Miami’s last two games. His return means Kasparas Jakučionis will return to playing a role off the bench after getting the second start of his career on Saturday. That will eliminate Jakučionis’ streaming upside, so he can be returned to the waiver wire.

Mitchell has missed Miami’s last two games with a shoulder injury, but he’s on track to return Monday night. If he can play, Kasparas Jakučionis will be headed to the bench to take on a lesser role. While the rookie should be rostered in dynasty leagues, there’s no need to hold onto him in most redraft formats.

Mitchell will remain out for a second straight game, which leaves the starting point guard spot open. Pelle Larsson filled it on Thursday, though he was unproductive in his 31 minutes. Kasparas Jakucionis did more with his 27 minutes, though a matchup with this Thunder defense isn’t ideal for a rookie point guard.

Mitchell has benefitted from Tyler Herro’s ongoing absence due to a lingering toe issue in addition to Miami’s newfound run-and-gun offensive style. The 27-year-old guard has provided an impact for fantasy managers in deeper leagues, averaging 9.4 points, 2.5 rebounds, 7.5 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.1 blocks through 33 games.
