Heat's Davion Mitchell: Strong line in defeat
Rotowire
Mitchell ended with 12 points (3-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 35 minutes during Monday's 116-95 loss to the Knicks.
Mitchell's production has been pretty volatile with Miami, but he took advantage of some extra minutes and usage due to Andrew Wiggins (leg) and Alec Burks (back) being sidelined.
