What changed
Points-4.2Probably real
Mitchell's scoring is down 4.2 points a game over his last 25 games of the season (25.2 vs 29.4). Much of it is shot volume: his shots per 36 minutes (counting free throw trips) went from 25.1 to 23.2, after James Harden joined the rotation. Also playing time: his minutes went from 34.1 to 32.4 a game. Probably real: about 75% should hold.
