• Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Manages 16 points in defeat

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Flagg closed with 16 points (5-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 29 minutes during Friday's 132-111 loss to the Thunder. Flagg entered this game averaging 27 points per game over his prior three contests, but he was held to just 16 against Oklahoma City's elite defense. This year's top pick is gaining confidence as the weeks pass. He's scored in double figures in every game but one this year, with the exception being his first matchup with the Thunder, during which he was held to two points in 31 minutes back in October.

• Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Scores 22 points in full stat line

  11D ago • By RotoWire

  Flagg ended Wednesday's 118-108 victory over the Heat with 22 points (9-13 FG, 4-5 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal in 31 minutes. The Mavericks may have found themselves a true floor general via the upstart Ryan Nembhard, which could aid Flagg's efficiency going forward. The rookie No. 1 overall pick is coming along nicely, averaging 18.4 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1.5 steals in 34.2 minutes per contest while shooting 49.2 percent from the floor over his last 17 games.

• Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Another modest performance

  20D ago • By RotoWire

  Flagg logged 12 points (5-14 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists and two steals across 34 minutes during Monday's 106-102 loss to the Heat. After dropping a season-high 29 points against the Pelicans on Friday, Flagg has scored 24 points on 9-for-29 shooting over his past two appearances. While the rookie's offense has been inconsistent, he has been an elite defender early in his career, averaging 2.0 steals-plus-blocks per game through his first 18 appearances.

• Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Dealing with illness

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  Flagg (illness) is questionable for Wednesday against the Knicks. Flagg was a late addition to the injury report, presumably after waking up under the weather. The Mavericks are already very thin, but they are expected to get Daniel Gafford (ankle) and Dereck Lively (knee) back Wednesday. If Flagg is unable to suit up, guys like Klay Thompson, Max Christie, P.J. Washington and Naji Marshall could be asked to pick up the slack. For what it's worth, Flagg was not spotted at the morning shootaround.

• Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Co-leads Dallas in scoring

  28D ago • By RotoWire

  Flagg racked up 21 points (9-16 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-3 FT), eight rebounds, five assists, two blocks and one steal in 37 minutes during Sunday's 138-133 overtime win over the Trail Blazers. Flagg has been slightly inconsistent with his scoring numbers, but his impact goes well beyond what he can do as a scoring weapon in a Dallas offense that continues to struggle -- even if Sunday's game ended with a win. Flagg finished just two boards shy of a double-double while recording at least two blocks for the third time this season. The rookie out of Duke is averaging 16.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game since the beginning of November.
