DAL Forward #32

Player Stats

Cooper Flagg had 32 points (10-of-17 FGs, 11-of-13 FTs), five rebounds, two assists, three steals, one block and one three-pointer in Wednesday’s game against the Rockets.

Flagg filled up the stat sheet and dropped 32 points in the Mavericks season opener. There’s not much more you could ask from the 19-year-old, which shows how much of an uphill battle it might be for Dallas this year as the Mavericks lost to the Rockets by 18. Flagg and the Mavericks have two more games this week with a back-to-back against the Pacers and Spurs on Friday and Saturday.

Cooper Flagg

Cooper Flagg put on a show with 33 points (13-of-19 FGs, 7-of-10 FTs), nine rebounds, six assists, two steals, and a block in Mavericks win over the Rockets.

The Mavericks beat the undefeated Houston Rockets in this game and Flagg made the big time bucket to lead them to a win. He’s already one of the best players in fantasy basketball and there’s no sign of this slowing down. Getting him at the backend of the first round in many redraft leagues has turned into a massive steal at his ADP. Sit back and enjoy the ride if you have him.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg had 26 points (10-of-23 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s 120-96 victory over the Thunder.

Flagg is averaging 25.3 points, 6.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 1.3 blocks through four games this year. The 19-year-old’s game Wednesday against the Thunder was even more impressive considering he also had zero turnovers. Easily the best young player in the league, Flagg may already have elevated himself into being part of the MVP conversation.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) returned to the lineup on Monday and finished with 29 points (12-of-23 FGs), six rebounds, 11 assists, four steals, two blocks, two three-pointers and five turnovers in a 113-109 win over the Heat.

The initial expectation was that this would be a multi-game absence for Flagg. However, it only ended up being one game on the sidelines for him, and he returned in a big way in this game. The only knock on Flagg so far this season has been the high turnover numbers, but he has been truly fantastic in every other category. Of course, the sample size is small, but if he continues to produce at this level, he will have absolutely been worth taking in the first round of fantasy drafts.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is available for Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg is good to go after a left shoulder injury suffered on Friday sidelined him for Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. His return will bump Zaccharie Risacher to the bench.

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) a game-time decision vs. Heat on Monday.

Head Coach Dusty May said Flagg is expected to play Monday vs. the Heat, but it will be a game-time decision after suffering a shoulder sprain against the Pacers.

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) was upgraded to probable for Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg made it through shootaround and was upgraded to probable for Monday’s game against the Heat. All signs point to the 19-year-old forward returning after a one-game absence. Flagg should be started in all fantasy formats as the week begins.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) participated in shootaround ahead of Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg is still listed as questionable for the matchup against the Heat, but seems to be trending in the right direction. He left Friday’s game against the Pacers with a shoulder injury and subsequently missed Saturday’s game against the Spurs. If Flagg returns Monday, he’ll replace Zaccharie Risacher in the starting lineup after only missing one game.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg being listed as questionable on the Mavericks’ initial injury report is good news for fantasy managers. After he sustained a shoulder injury during Friday’s win over the Pacers, expectations were that the reigning Rookie of the Year would miss a few days. Now, Flagg could miss just one game after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. If he returns, Zaccharie Risacher will head to the bench.
Naji Marshall

DAL Forward #3

Naji Marshall produced 10 points (4-of-8 FGs, 1-of- 3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.

With Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg unavailable, Marshall moved into the starting lineup for Saturday’s game. He took on playmaking responsibilities for large stretches of the 122-106 defeat, dishing out five of the 12 assists recorded by Mavericks starters. While Irving should be back for Monday’s game against the Heat, Flagg’s shoulder injury may keep him out for multiple games. If so, Marshall is worth streaming in deep leagues.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is out for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

No surprise here as Flagg left Friday night’s game against the Pacers with shoulder soreness. Expect the Mavericks to play through Kyrie Irving in his absence against the Spurs on Saturday.

Tobe Awaka (ankle) is probable for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Awaka played 12 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Celtics, grabbing 12 rebounds after initially being listed as probable. Whether he sees action on Monday likely depends on Nic Claxton’s availability (hamstring), as Claxton is doubtful to make his Bulls debut.

Nic Claxton (hamstring) is doubtful for Monday’s game against the 76ers.

Claxton fully participated in Sunday’s practice, and the door may be open for his first appearance for the Bulls. However, he’s still listed as doubtful, so the chances of that happening on Monday are slim. Jalen Smith will start at center until Claxton is cleared to play.
