Fantasy basketball: Mitchell's 30-point outburst in a start offers streaming appeal for managers with Monday's lone Oklahoma City game still to play.

By Fantasy Roundup Staff · October 27, 2026

Ajay Mitchell scored 30 points on 10-of-16 shooting with two rebounds, five assists, one block and one three in 25 minutes as a starter in Oklahoma City's 125-114 win over Phoenix on Monday, October 26.

The performance produced 41.9 fantasy points against his 26.3 projected mark in default points scoring and stands well above his 13.6 points a game from last season (57 games). The Thunder have one game left this week, on Monday, making Mitchell a streaming option for managers chasing counting statistics in nine-category formats or fantasy points in points leagues.

Ajay Mitchell

Mitchell shot 62.5 per cent from the field and 90.0 per cent from the line while using 22.8 per cent of possessions at 49.5 per cent true shooting. The start marked his first of the season after he came off the bench in 72 per cent of appearances last season, when he averaged 13.6 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 0.3 blocks and 1.1 threes in 25.8 minutes a game.

Through four games this season, Mitchell is averaging 16.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.8 assists in 24.8 minutes a game. His Monday line offers value in both formats: the 30 points and five assists help in categories, while the 41.9 fantasy points well outpace his baseline. With Oklahoma City playing once more this week, Mitchell is a streaming target for managers needing production immediately.

What to do

• Stream Mitchell for Monday's game if you need points, assists or fantasy points production from the guard spot.

• Add him in deeper leagues where his role as a backup ball handler offers steady minutes even without a start.

• Monitor whether the start reflects a shift in Oklahoma City's rotation or was simply a one-game adjustment.
