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.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Stuffs stat sheet Saturday
Mitchell provided 14 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Saturday's 109-96 win over the Hornets.
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.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Three more pilfers in win

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.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Massive stat line in win
Mitchell accumulated 21 points (8-15 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, four assists and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 114-100 win over Memphis.
Mitchell continues to enjoy a breakout season and posted another loaded stat line as a starter. Due to injuries, he's been in the first unit in each of the Thunder's last three games and has scored at least 18 points each time. Furthermore, Mitchell has surpassed the 15-point mark eight times already after doing so just twice in the 2024-25 campaign. The second-year guard is averaging a robust line of 17.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.8 steals across 28.0 minutes per game in his first 10 games this season.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Records double-double in blowout
Mitchell chipped in 18 points (5-12 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, 10 assists, one block and three steals in 31 minutes during Friday's 132-101 victory over the Kings.
Mitchell made his second start of the season with Luguentz Dort (shoulder) still sidelined, but Mitchell did the most damage once Shai Gilgeous-Alexander took a seat in the lopsided victory. He scored 12 of his 18 points in the fourth quarter, extending the lead during a decisive win for the Thunder.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Posts 21 points in spot start
Mitchell closed with 21 points (7-11 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-7 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 121-119 loss to Portland.
Mitchell earned a spot with the first unit amid Luguentz Dort's (shoulder) recent injury, and he made the most of the opportunity with his second-highest point total of the season. Wednesday marked Mitchell's first start of the season, but he's also posted impressive totals coming off the bench for the Thunder. Through nine games, Mitchell has averaged 16.7 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.6 steals. He's also converting shots at a rate of 45.8 percent.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Available to play
Mitchell (lower body) will be available to play Tuesday against the Clippers.
Mitchell should be good to go for his usual minutes Tuesday evening, and he'll look to bounce back from a tough, 2-8 shooting performance. The second-year guard is hitting career-highs across the board this season while earning 27.6 minutes a night.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Goes through shootaround
Mitchell (lower body) participated in Tuesday's morning shootaround, Justin reports.
Mitchell, who is listed as questionable, will likely test out his injury in pregame warmups before a decision is made on his status. He's been terrific to open the season with 17.3 points, 3.7 assists and 3.6 rebounds per contest.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Delivers 20 points from bench
Mitchell finished Thursday's 127-108 victory over Washington with 20 points (6-15 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and two steals across 30 minutes.
Mitchell provided ample support with the second unit during the decisive win. Although a spot in the starting five isn't possible at the moment, Mitchell is enjoying a sharp increase in court time from his rookie year. Through six games, the UCSB product is averaging 27.1 minutes per game.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Drops 18 from second unit
Mitchell recorded 18 points (7-15 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two steals and one assist across 24 minutes during Tuesday's 107-101 victory over the Kings.
Mitchell's strong start to the season continued Tuesday with another double-digit scoring performance, highlighted by three made three-pointers that tied his season high from the opener Oct. 21. The UC Santa Barbara product impressed throughout Summer League and preseason play and has carried that momentum into the regular season, averaging 18.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.6 minutes per game through five contests to open the 2025-26 campaign.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Continues strong season
Mitchell ended Monday's 101-94 win over the Mavericks with 17 points (7-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 27 minutes.
Mitchell scored at least 14 points for the fourth straight game, continuing what has been a surprising start to the season. While his playing time has been inconsistent, his production has made a lot of people sit up and take notice. While there are certainly no guarantees, Mitchell is worth taking a flier on, just in case he can turn this short-term production into long-term value.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Fills box score off bench
Mitchell registered 14 points (6-14 FG, 2-3 3Pt), seven assists, seven rebounds and two steals over 29 minutes during the Thunder's 117-110 win over the Hawks on Saturday.
Mitchell had another nice game off the bench Saturday, leading the bench in scoring and the Thunder in assists while finishing third in rebounds behind Chet Holmgren (12) and Isaiah Hartenstein (10). Mitchell averaged just 16.6 minutes per game last season, but he has gotten extended run early in the 2025-26 campaign due to the absences of Isaiah Joe (knee), Alex Caruso (concussion) and Jalen Williams (wrist).

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Explodes for 26 points in win
Mitchell closed Thursday's 141-135 double-overtime win over the Pacers with 26 points (9-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 8-8 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal in 38 minutes.
Fresh off a 16-point performance in the season opener, Mitchell delivered once again, going off to the tune of 26 points. The Thunder were without a number of key players, affording Mitchell an opportunity to shine on the big stage once again. While his role will likely reduce once the roster is back to full health, his early-season production definitely has him on the fantasy radar, even in standard formats.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Pops for 16 points
Mitchell finished Tuesday's 125-124 double-overtime win over the Rockets with 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block in 15 minutes.
Mitchell was a spark plug off the Oklahoma City bench, stepping up in the absence of Isaiah Joe (knee) and Jalen Williams (wrist), both of whom are considered day-to-day. Mitchell's role could be in jeopardy when the Thunder are at full strength, but he made a strong case for himself to remain involved Tuesday.

Mitchell (ankle) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Tuesday's season opener against the Rockets, Rylan Stiles of SI.com reports.

Thunder's Ajay Mitchell: Won't play Friday
Mitchell (ankle) has been ruled out for Friday's preseason finale against the Nuggets, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
This will be the second straight game on the bench for Mitchell, so for now, he should be considered questionable for Tuesday's Opening Night matchup with Houston. That said, Mitchell is a negligible part of the rotation, so his absence from the active roster won't impact fantasy hoops.
