2025 Fantasy Outlook
Playing in his fourth NBA season, Mitchell began the campaign in Toronto following a three-year stint in Sacramento. He wasn't able to find his footing with the Raptors, as he averaged a mere 6.3 points, 4.6 assists, 1.9 rebounds and 0.7 steals on 43.4 percent shooting in 24.5 minutes per contest. A mid-season trade to Miami revitalized his fantasy appeal, as he appeared in 30 regular-season games with averages of 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.4 steals while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 44.7 percent from beyond the arc. The Heat re-signed him for two years and $24 million, but the rest of their offseason was pretty quiet other than the acquisition of Norman Powell. The Heat seem comfortable with Tyler Herro and Powell as their starting backcourt, setting up Mitchell to potentially be the first guard off the bench. Terry Rozier is still around, but he's on the trade block, and the Heat have seemingly lost patience with him after a dreadful 2024-25 season. That said, Herro is expected to miss the onset of the season due to offseason foot surgery, which positions Mitchell as the team's most likely candidate to open the new year as their starting point guard. Mitchell is a decent source of steals and assists with a trickle of three-pointers, but it's fair to question if he'll see enough usage to warrant a late-round pick, even with a projected uptick in minutes while Herro is sidelined. Plus, based on career shooting averages, Mitchell's splits in Miami last season look unsustainable. Read Past Outlooks

Won't play Saturday
Mitchell (calf) will not play Saturday's preseason contest against Orlando, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell was unable to practice Friday due to soreness, so while it sounds like a minor issue, the Heat aren't going to take any chances during the preseason. With the Heat expected to be very shorthanded, this could be a big opportunity for Dru Smith.

Mitchell spent the 2023-24 season as De'Aaron Fox's backup in Sacramento, but that won't be the case in 2024-25 after he was traded in late June in the deal that sent Jalen McDaniels to the Kings. This might lead to a more significant role for Mitchell. The Raptors are clearly in a rebuilding mode while the Kings aim to contend in the Western Conference. However, fantasy managers shouldn't get over-excited by this trade. Mitchell is expected to remain a backup for the Raptors, but instead of being Fox's replacement, he'll play behind Immanuel Quickley. Plus, Mitchell's numbers have been trending in the wrong direction ever since he averaged 11.5 points per game as a rookie and delivered a career-low 5.3 points per game in 2023-24. However, Mitchell posted a career-high mark in three-point shooting, draining 36.1 percent of his attempts on 2.2 attempts per game. Either way, the lack of production and the bench role suggest Mitchell should stay on waivers across all formats, with the lone path to fantasy relevancy being a potential injury to Quickley or Gradey Dick, who figures to start at shooting guard for the Raptors.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Expected to start
Mitchell is set to see an expanded role to open the season following Tyler Herro's injury, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Mitchell re-signed with Miami this summer after a strong run following the Jimmy Butler trade. He averaged 10.3 points and 5.3 assists while shooting 50.4 percent from the field and 44.7 percent from beyond the arc in 30 regular-season appearances with the Heat. With Herro sidelined, Chiang expects Mitchell to start in the backcourt next to Norman Powell. Mitchell has never been a high-usage player, but the opportunity he has to open the season is certainly intriguing from a fantasy perspective.
