Hi andreasantoni
Utah plays Portland, Atlanta, and Houston. Mitchell should mash those teams. Barton is still getting back in the groove. For me, Mitchell is a no brainer.
Good luck!

Are you punting those cats just for this week based on your matchup, or is that how your team is built for the season? If it's the latter then you really need to trade Mitchell for someone who fits your team build better. He's too good to even be involved in a sit-or-start discussion.

In any case, Mitchell has been assisting well enough lately that I wouldn't want to give up what he offers in that category, and a fair amount of Barton's value (when he's fully ramped up, which I'm not sure he is yet) comes from scoring and threes anyway. I don't think I'd start him over Mitchell even with the extra game.

Hi @David.J

Yes, I’m just punting for this week 16, going up against Bradley Beal, Stephen Curry and Paul George would make you punt Points and 3pm cat. Tough matchup.

Ah, ok. I had a hunch Steph might be involved on the other side! Ha. Anyway, I think I would still stick with Mitchell. He should still give you enough assists and steals to be an asset in those categories, and like I said even with the extra game I'm not sure Barton is a safe bet to exceed him in those categories.
