Hands out eight assists in return
Mitchell (ankle) chipped in 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt), two rebounds and eight assists across 31 minutes during Sunday's 132-125 loss to the Knicks.
Analysis
Mitchell made his return from a one-game absence with an ankle sprain, pacing the team in assists. The fifth-year guard is enjoying a breakout campaign, and he should continue to start at point guard even when Tyler Herro (toe) gets back into the fold. Mitchell has averaged 10.9 points, 8.0 assists, 2.0 rebounds and 1.4 three-pointers in 31.3 minutes per contest in his last seven games.

Cleared to play
Mitchell (ankle) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Knicks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Mitchell is set to return after missing Friday's game versus Boston. As a result, Kasparas Jakucionis is likely to move back to the bench for Miami.

Iffy for Sunday
Mitchell (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Knicks.
Analysis
Mitchell remains day-to-day after missing Friday's game against Boston. If he's unable to return to action, Kasparas Jakucionis could get another extended look after a productive outing Friday with 17 points in 36 minutes.

Not playing Friday
Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Celtics, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Mitchell was initially listed as probable for Friday's contest. His sprained left ankle is severe enough to sideline him against Boston, though he could be available for Sunday's road contest against New York. With Mitchell and Tyler Herro (toe) both sidelined, the Heat will insert Kasparas Jakucionis into the starting lineup.

Downgraded to questionable
Mitchell (ankle) has been downgraded to questionable for Friday's game against Boston.
Analysis
Mitchell was previously listed as probable, so this is a troubling update for his fantasy managers. If Mitchell is unable to go, Dru Smith could potentially take over as the starter with Kasparas Jakucionis behind him.

Probable with ankle sprain
Mitchell is probable for Friday's game against the Celtics due to a sprained left ankle.
Analysis
With Tyler Herro (toe) already ruled out, Mitchell is in position to handle the bulk of the ball-handling duties Friday. Over 20 games without Herro available this season, Mitchell has averaged 10.5 points, 7.3 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 29.9 minutes per game.

Scores 12 in loss
Mitchell had 12 points (5-11 FG, 2-6 3Pt), four rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 32 minutes during Monday's 106-96 loss to the Raptors.
Analysis
Mitchell has scored at least 10 points in four of his last five appearances, averaging 10.6 points, 2.4 rebounds, 8.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 0.2 blocks and 1.4 threes across 31.6 minutes in that span. With Tyler Herro (toe) missing three of his last four games, Miami has called upon Mitchell to handle the volume he was at the beginning of the season, and the latter has stepped up to the challenge yet again.
