Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 31.5 Points + Assists (-114)
Odds available at fanduel at time of publishingAs the Mavericks prepare to face the Suns, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but I think it's wise to lean into the Under on his points and assists total of 31.5. While he's been impressive at home, averaging over 30 points in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. He's dropped to just 23 points per game on the road, and against the Mavericks specifically, he's averaged only 21.5 in their last few matchups. What's more, Flagg's assist numbers have been a bit underwhelming in this context-averaging just 2 assists in his recent away games against Dallas. With the Suns boasting a solid defense, it's reasonable to expect him to struggle to find his rhythm. Given his recent hit rate of 15 out of 20 overall, and a perfect record in his last three away games, the Under could be the smart play here.
