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.

Flagg chipped in 35 points (13-22 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 9-11 FT), eight rebounds and two assists over 38 minutes during Saturday's 114-110 victory over the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

After securing his third double-double of the season in Friday's loss to the Lakers, Flagg posted a game- and season-high 35 points. He became the second-youngest player in NBA history to score at least 30, with LeBron James holding that title. Flagg also tied the team-high mark in rebounds and has grabbed at least seven boards in five straight games. During that span, the rookie has averaged 20.2 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 34.6 minutes per game.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Flagg posted 29 points (12-19 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 5-6 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and two steals across 32 minutes in Friday's 118-115 win over the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg came through when the Mavericks needed him the most, and the highly-touted rookie delivered the best scoring output of his young NBA career. Flagg has scored over 20 points in three of his last six games, and he's trending in the right direction after going through some ups and downs earlier in the season.

Flagg (illness) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Friday's game against the Pelicans.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg missed the first game of his brief NBA career Wednesday night after falling ill, but he'll return to the hardwood Friday evening to take on New Orleans. The rookie forward is playing well of late, averaging 18.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over his previous five appearances.

Flagg (illness) has been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Knicks, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg will miss the first game of his NBA career after coming down with an illness. Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson will likely see more chances in Flagg's absence. He can be considered day-to-day moving forward until the team provides another update.

Flagg (illness) is questionable for Wednesday against the Knicks.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Flagg finished with 15 points (6-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two assists and one rebound over 27 minutes in Monday's 120-96 loss to the Timberwolves.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg scored a bit Monday but disappointed with just three combined rebounds and assists, marking the lowest single-game total of his young NBA career. Even with the forgettable outing, the 2025 No. 1 overall pick continues to show steady growth, averaging 18.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over his past five contests. Even amid the Mavericks' overall struggles, Flagg is already showing the traits of an emerging all-around star.

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.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Flagg produced 16 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one steal and four turnovers in 48 minutes during Friday's 133-127 double overtime loss to the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

Flagg hit some key shots down the stretch to push the game to overtime, but he also made some costly mistakes during the overtime periods that wound up costing Dallas the game. While he did score efficiently, he missed all three of his three-point attempts and failed to hand out any assists. It's been a bumpy road for the 18-year-old rookie, but the ups and downs are to be expected with such a young player.
