Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Productive off bench Thursday
Mitchell ended with 16 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals in 29 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 122-101 win over the Clippers.
Nine of those points came in the fourth quarter, as Mitchell took advantage of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander getting pulled early in the big win. It was the first time in five games that Mitchell scored in double digits, while the seven boards tied his season high. The second-year guard typically doesn't see that kind of shot volume -- he last attempted double-digit field goals against the Jazz on Nov. 21. Through six games (two starts) to begin December, Mitchell is averaging 10.0 points, 3.7 assists, 3.5 rebounds, 1.2 steals and 1.2 threes in 26.0 minutes a contest despite shooting 50.0 percent from the floor and 46.7 percent (7-for-15) from long distance.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Downward trend continues
Mitchell supplied nine points (3-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal across 19 minutes during Wednesday's 138-89 win over the Suns.
Mitchell continues to see his role reduce, logging fewer than 20 minutes for just the third time this season. While it was a red-hot start for Mitchell, his production has plateaued of late, as Oklahoma City starts to get healthy bodies back on the floor. In three games over the past week, Mitchell has averaged 8.3 points, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.4 minutes. It's hard to make a case for him being a must-roster player based on what we have seen during that span.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Shifts back to bench
Mitchell isn't part of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Mitchell had started in two of OKC's last three games due to the absences of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luguentz Dort. However, both are healthy Wednesday, meaning Mitchell will rejoin the reserves. In 17 appearances with the second unit, Mitchell is averaging 14.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.4 steals across 25.2 minutes.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Starting Sunday
Mitchell is in the starting lineup for Sunday's game in Utah, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (elbow) unavailable, Mitchell is getting the start, and he'll be joined in the first unit by Cason Wallace, Jalen Williams, Jaylin Williams and Chet Holmgren. Over six starts this season, Mitchell owns averages of 16.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.5 triples, 2.0 steals and 1.8 turnovers per contest on 51/50/91 shooting splits.

Mitchell will come off the bench for Friday's game against Dallas, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

In 16 games off the bench, Mitchell is averaging 14.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.4 steals across 25.4 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Entering starting five Tuesday
Mitchell is in the Thunder's starting lineup against the Warriors on Tuesday, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
Mitchell will make his sixth start of the season Tuesday and first since Nov. 12 against the Lakers due to the absence of Luguentz Dort (thigh). In five games as a starter, Mitchell has averaged 18.2 points, 4.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.2 steals over 30.2 minutes per game.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Productive off bench
Mitchell totaled 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal in 29 minutes during Sunday's 123-115 win over Portland.
Another game, another instance where Mitchell shows his worth as a versatile combo guard who can make an impact on both ends of the court. Mitchell was limited to five minutes Friday against the Suns due to a left knee contusion, but that injury didn't bother him at all Sunday. Excluding that early exit against the Suns, Mitchell has scored in double digits in all but one game this season while coming off the bench in all but five games. He's averaging 15.2 points, 3.5 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game.

Mitchell exited Friday's win over the Suns due to a left knee contusion, though he's set to play Sunday. In his previous five games entering Friday, the second-year guard averaged 13.8 points, 3.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 25.6 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Won't return Friday
Mitchell has been ruled out for the remainder of Friday's game against the Suns due to a left knee contusion, Marc J. Spears of ESPN.com reports.
Mitchell's night will be cut short due to a bruised knee. He'll finish the contest scoreless (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt) with one assist across five minutes. His early departure snaps a streak of 11 consecutive games scoring in double figures. While Mitchell is sidelined, look for Alex Caruso and Isaiah Joe to pick up additional minutes. Mitchell's next chance to play will come Sunday in Portland.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Perfect from field in blowout win
Mitchell closed with 20 points (8-8 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), one rebound, four assists and two steals over 24 minutes during Sunday's 122-95 win over the Trail Blazers.
Mitchell missed only two free throws in what ended up being a dominant scoring effort. This was his first game with at least 20 points since Nov. 9, but it extended his streak of double-digit scoring performances to 10 games. Over that stretch, the Sixth Man of the Year candidate is averaging 16.1 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game while shooting 38.7 percent from three-point range.

Mitchell racked up 13 points (4-10 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), three rebounds, six assists, one block and two steals over 29 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 113-99 victory over the Kings.
The second-year point guard continues to provide consistent secondary scoring for the Thunder in what's shaping up to be a breakout campaign. Mitchell has scored in double digits in eight straight games (five starts), averaging 16.1 points, 4.1 assists, 4.0 boards, 1.9 steals and 1.0 threes in 29.6 minutes a contest.

Mitchell returned to the bench after starting in the Thunder's previous five contests, but he continues to produce regardless of the role he's given. The second-year wing has scored in double digits in all but one of his games in November, averaging 15.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 2.1 steals per contest.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Sliding back to bench Saturday
Mitchell won't start Saturday's game against the Hornets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
With Luguentz Dort (shoulder) returning from a five-game absence, Mitchell will retreat to the second unit. Over his last five appearances off the bench, the second-year guard has averaged 14.6 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.0 steals in 26.2 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Three more pilfers in win
Mitchell logged 14 points (6-13 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds, three assists and three steals in 26 minutes during Wednesday's 121-92 win over the Lakers.
Making his fifth straight start, Mitchell nabbed at least three steals for the third time during that stretch, and the fourth time overall in 13 games. The second-year guard has scored in double-digits in all but one contest as he surges toward a breakout campaign, averaging 16.9 points, 3.8 boards, 3.8 assists, 1.8 steals and 1.3 threes in 28.1 minutes a game.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Stuffs stat sheet in win
Mitchell chipped in 17 points (6-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 126-102 victory over the Warriors.
The second-year guard has scored at least 17 points in each of his four starts this season, and he is enjoying a breakout season in the first few weeks of the 2025-26 campaign. Mitchell is likely to remain in the starting five if Luguentz Dort (shoulder) remains sidelined, but fantasy managers should feel confident in his chances to keep producing even if he returns to the bench. Mitchell is averaging 16.1 points per game when playing with the second unit this season.
