Outlook Ajay Mitchell

Ajay Mitchell at Rockets — Starting Role Fuels Fantasy Surge

Inserted into the starting five with Jalen Williams sidelined, Mitchell broke out with a 30-point showcase earlier this week, pushing his fantasy ownership to 100%. Fully healthy and starting at shooting guard, he has posted 18.6 points, 3.6 assists, and 2.0 steals per game over five contests while sharing the backcourt with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

For tonight’s road clash against Houston, our models project Mitchell for 26 minutes, 14 points, and 25.7 fantasy points. Facing a 5-1 Rockets squad in a tight matchup with a 218.5 total, he offers dependable scoring in the final contest of Oklahoma City's three-game weekly slate.

Outlook Trey Murphy III

Trey Murphy III vs. Atlanta — Up-Tempo Clash in High-Total Home Spot

Locked into the starting small forward spot, Trey Murphy III continues to enjoy strong fantasy trust with a 100% roster rate and 94% start share. Through his first five games, he has averaged 14.2 points and 4.4 rebounds over 31.8 minutes per contest, rebounding nicely from a quiet showing with a 19-point outing against Sacramento.

Murphy is positioned for another productive night against Atlanta in a matchup boasting a 240.5 over/under at the Smoothie King Center. Our models project 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 triples across 34 minutes in what should be an up-tempo environment. Tonight also wraps up New Orleans' three-game schedule for the week.
