Flagg posted 33 points (14-21 FG, 4-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), nine rebounds, nine assists, a steal and a block across 40 minutes in Tuesday's 131-130 win over the Nuggets.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg became just the second teenager to record this stat line in NBA history, with the previous record-holder being Luka Doncic (leg). Flagg has been playing at a high level since the beginning of December, but his numbers have seen a sizable uptick lately, as he's hit 20 or more points in five of his last six appearances, and in seven of 10 appearances this month.

Flagg registered 16 points (5-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 5-10 FT), six rebounds, six assists, one steal and one block over 35 minutes during Dallas' 119-113 loss to New Orleans on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg entered Monday's game shooting 82.8 percent from the free-throw line, but he was responsible for five of the Mavericks' 10 misses at the charity stripe, which proved to be costly in a close loss. His 16 points also broke a four-game streak of at least 20 points, but the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft is still enjoying a strong rookie campaign. In nine games since Dec. 1, Flagg has averaged 23.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.0 assists, 1.3 blocks and 1.0 steals over 35.3 minutes per game.

Flagg (back) is available for Monday's road matchup with the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg is dealing with a back bruise, but he was able to get through shootaround without issue and has now officially been cleared for Monday's game. He should see his usual workload and will look to extend his streak of 20-point games to five.

Flagg (back) participated in Monday's morning shootaround, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg remains questionable on the official injury report for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a back contusion, but his participation Monday morning bodes well for his status. Over his last three games, Flagg is averaging 29.7 points, 7.0 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.0 blocks.

Flagg is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Pelicans due to a back contusion.

EDGE Analysis

The No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NBA Draft may have picked up the injury during the Mavericks' 121-114 loss to the 76ers on Saturday, when he played 37 minutes and finished with 24 points, four rebounds, three assists and one block. If Flagg is unable to play Monday, then Max Christie (illness), Klay Thompson (knee), Naji Marshall and Caleb Martin would be in line for larger roles.

Flagg registered 24 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-8 FT), four rebounds, three assists and one block across 37 minutes during Saturday's 121-114 loss to the 76ers.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg has been playing really well of late, and he recently received praise from his teammate, Naji Marshall. "Coop is really amazing at basketball," Marshall said. "He's a dog on both ends of the floor. Every game somebody guards him with their best defender, and he just goes out and proves that he's the No. 1 pick and why he was the No. 1 pick. Pledge allegiance to the Flagg." Flagg has scored at least 20 points in four straight, and he'll look to make it five in a row Monday in New Orleans.

Flagg chipped in 23 points (8-20 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists, three blocks and one steal across 40 minutes during Thursday's 116-114 overtime victory over the Pistons.

EDGE Analysis

It's safe to say that Flagg has found his rhythm at the NBA level, as he's in the midst of his best stretch of hoops. Over his last five games, he's been a third-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 24.4 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.6 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.6 blocks and 0.4 three-pointers on 48.3 percent shooting from the field.

Flagg registered 42 points (13-27 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 15-20 FT), seven rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks in 42 minutes during Monday's 140-133 overtime loss to the Jazz.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg posted the best showing of his young career and set a single-game NBA scoring record for 18-year-old players, beating LeBron James' 37-point performance in 2003, per NBA reporter Marc Stein. Flagg also set career highs in free-throw attempts and makes while recording at least one steal and one block for a third straight game. The rookie is averaging 24.2 points while shooting at a clip of 53.5 percent from the field over six December appearances.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.
