Back to bench Sunday
Mitchell is not in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Heat on Sunday, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Analyse
Mitchell got the start against the Grizzlies on Friday due to the absence of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and the former finished with 23 points, six assists, three rebounds and one block over 38 minutes. Gilgeous-Alexander has been cleared to return Sunday against Miami, so Mitchell will revert to a bench role for that contest.

Scores 23 points with six dimes
Mitchell finished with 23 points (9-18 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 3-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists and one block across 38 minutes during Friday's 117-116 victory over the Grizzlies.
Analyse
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) and Chet Holmgren (shins) out, Mitchell was able to operate as one of the lead dogs on offense, and he responded with one of his better games of the season. Mitchell has been in a nice rhythm over the past eight games, posting averages of 14.3 points, 4.0 assists, 1.4 triples, 1.6 steals and just 1.0 turnovers per contest, which has been good enough for top-60 value in nine-category leagues.

Will start Friday
Mitchell will start against the Grizzlies on Friday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Analyse
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (ankle) sidelined, Mitchell will get the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 7. In seven starts so far this season, the 23-year-old guard has averaged 15.4 points, 4.1 assists, 3.9 rebounds and 1.7 steals across 30.3 minutes per game.

Strong production continues
Mitchell accumulated 16 points (5-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 33 minutes during Wednesday's 129-125 overtime win over the Jazz.
Analyse
Mitchell continues to put up above-average numbers despite coming off the bench, scoring double digits for the 10th straight game. While his red-hot start to the season was clearly unsustainable, he has quietly gone about his business in recent times. In fact, in seven games over the past two weeks, he has flirted with top-50 value in standard leagues, averaging 13.0 points, 3.7 assists, 1.9 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.

Puts up 11 points in loss
Mitchell racked up 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and three steals across 24 minutes during Monday's 124-97 loss to Charlotte.
Analyse
Mitchell was the only reserve to find much success for Oklahoma City other than Kenrich Williams. Mitchell's minutes have been held in check recently with 23.9 minutes per game over his last six contests, but he's been a sixth-round fantasy value in nine-category leagues during that span with 12.5 points, 3.5 assists, 2.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 1.2 three-pointers.
