After failing to crack the 20-point threshold in any of his prior five appearances, Flagg did so on Friday. The rookie recorded 25 points on good percentages, and category league managers will be pleased with the five assists as well. Dallas plays once more in Week 20, a Sunday rematch with the Cavaliers in Cleveland.

Flagg was held under 20 points for the fifth straight game on Thursday, shooting below 40.0 percent from the field for a second consecutive time. The rookie forward has remained in a shooting slump since returning in early March from a foot sprain. He did, however, notch at least five rebounds and assists for the fifth time in as many games. But while his well-roundedness has provided a solid floor, fantasy managers hope he can find his touch and deliver some efficient, high-scoring performances.

Flagg’s rough shooting stretch continued in this game. Over his four games since returning from an eight-game absence with a midfoot sprain, Flagg has shot 34.6 percent from the floor., though he has made up for it by averaging 16.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 5.8 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.8 blocks per game. He didn’t contribute any defensive stats in this one, but he did record a double-double and match his career high for rebounds. He’ll look to figure things out offensively in Memphis on Thursday.

Interestingly, Flagg has made seven field goals in each of the three games he’s played since returning from a left midfoot sprain. Sunday’s game was the second straight in which he’s played 30 minutes, and the rookie recorded a complete stat line that included five defensive contributions. The Mavericks play four games in Week 20, starting with the Hawks on Tuesday.

Flagg was initially listed as questionable with a foot injury and it came down to a game-time decision, but the rookie is available for Sunday’s game against the Raptors. He’s coming off a 16-point performance in Friday’s loss to the Celtics.

Flagg played both games of Dallas’s recent back-to-back, logging 30 minutes in Friday’s loss to the Celtics. If the rookie can’t play on Sunday, Naji Marshall, Caleb Martin and Brandon Williams are potential replacements in the starting lineup.

A native of Newport, Maine, Boston will be the closest to his hometown that Flagg gets to play. While Jayson Tatum’s return to the Celtics was the biggest headline, many made the trip south to watch their native son play. Flagg didn’t have a good night shooting the basketball, but fantasy managers did receive good production in the rebound and assist categories. Dallas plays one more game in Week 19, visiting the Raptors on Sunday.

Flagg made his return to the Mavericks’ lineup after missing eight games with a left midfoot sprain, with the 26 minutes being one more than his stated limit. The rookie shot 6-of-17 from two, which hurt his field-goal percentage, but he did record a complete stat line. Before the game, it was reported that Flagg could play more on Friday in Boston if everything checks out health-wise. The fact that he’s playing the second game of a back-to-back this soon is great news for fantasy managers.

Flagg has missed Dallas’ last eight games with a left midfoot sprain. According to Curtis, the rookie will be under a minutes restriction on Thursday. And if everything goes well for Flagg, he may be allowed to take on more minutes in Friday’s game against the Celtics. His return will likely push Khris Middleton or Brandon Williams out of the starting lineup.

Flagg has been sidelined since before the All-Star break, but he could make his return against Orlando. Flagg’s return would likely push Khris Middleton back to the bench, which would limit his fantasy output.

Flagg is not yet ready to return to action, and with Naji Marshall (finger) also sidelined, Khris Middleton is worth a look in most fantasy leagues. He should see big minutes for as long as Flagg and/or Marshall are out.

Flagg is still dealing with a left midfoot sprain that cost his a game before the All-Star break. He’s set to miss Friday’s game against the Timberwolves with the same injury. Naji Marshall has been excellent when given additional minutes this season and is worth streaming with Flagg sidelined.

Flagg will miss the Mavericks’ final game before the All-Star break and will remain out for the Rising Stars game. Flagg may not end up missing much time, which is a good thing for fantasy managers. However, he won’t be available for his first All-Star weekend.

Flagg is listed as having a left midfoot sprain, and based on the doubtful tag, he’s likely to miss the Mavericks’ final game before the All-Star break. If Flagg doesn’t play, the Mavericks will have to rely even more on Naji Marshall, who scored 32 points in Tuesday’s loss to the Suns.

Flagg’s frequent trips to the foul line gave his point total a nice boost, but overall, this was a modest night for the rookie. While his run of games with at least 32 points ended at four in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs, he’s scored 27 or more in five of his last six. Given the constant changes of the actual point guards in the Mavericks’ rotation, head coach Jason Kidd may decide to simply put the ball in Flagg’s hands even more after the All-Star break. And fantasy managers may favor that approach.

Flagg has been on a roll recently, scoring at least 32 points in four straight games. The Mavericks’ rookie shot over 50 percent from the field despite San Antonio’s defensive focus throughout, recording a complete stat line. With Anthony Davis no longer in the picture, Dallas’ focus for the rest of the season will be on identifying the areas they need to address to build a team around Flagg for the franchise’s next era.

Playing against his childhood favorite team for the first time, Flagg was sensational on Tuesday. All that his stat line was missing was a steal, but the rookie did everything else. Unfortunately for Flagg, the Mavericks are undermanned, making games like Tuesday’s challenging to win. Over the past two weeks, he has been a top-20 fantasy player, regardless of format. The Mavericks have two more games in Week 16, both against the Spurs.

One game removed from scoring a career-high 49 points in a loss to the Hornets, Flagg put forth another stellar performance on Saturday. While a layup that could have tied the game missed the mark, the Mavericks would not have been in that position without their star rookie. Despite Dallas’s lack of healthy options, Flagg has continued to balance creating for himself and for his teammates. Over the past month, the rookie has offered top-50 fantasy value. The Mavericks open a three-game Week 16 on Tuesday against the Celtics.

Flagg missed Wednesday’s game against the Hornets but was back to take on Charlotte. In a matchup with his former college teammates Kon Knueppel and Sion James, Flagg’s team didn’t come out on top, but he shined brightest. Only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who scored 51 points on 72 percent shooting in a game as a rookie, has ever matched or exceed Flagg’s points and field goal percentage in a game as a rookie. Of course, Kareem was less than two months from turning 23, while Flagg just turned 19. He has been incredible as a rookie and should be in line to win Rookie of the Year.

This was the expectation when Flagg was ruled out on Wednesday, and he will now officially return for the second leg of a back-to-back. He should immediately be put back in all fantasy lineups.

Even with the extra day off due to Sunday’s game in Milwaukee being postponed, Flagg will not play on Wednesday due to left ankle injury management. The Mavericks also play on Thursday, so the rookie will unsurprisingly sit. Naji Marshall’s usage should increase, and he’s worth rostering even when Flagg is available.

Flagg was not expected to play in Sunday’s matchup with Milwaukee, but that was the second leg of a back-to-back set. That game was postponed, so he’s had three days off to get healthy. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Flagg’s status, and if he’s unable to go, Naji Marshall could see a bump in usage. Marshall has standalone value that is not dependent on Flagg’s availability.

The Mavericks, who lost to the Lakers at home on Saturday night, were unable to fly to Milwaukee due to inclement weather in the Dallas metroplex. This is the second game on Sunday’s schedule postponed due to inclement weather, with the other being Nuggets/Grizzlies.

Flagg played 34 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Lakers, and this is the first back-to-back for the Mavericks since the rookie missed two games with a sprained left ankle. Add in Dallas having to travel to Milwaukee, and it makes sense that he would be unlikely to play on Sunday. No Flagg would further enhance Naji Marshall’s fantasy value; he’s worth adding regardless of what happens with the rookie’s availability.

While Flagg couldn’t get much done scoring-wise, he still offered solid value in the rebound, assist and steal categories. The biggest issue for the rookie in category leagues recently has been the foul line, with Flagg making 61.9 percent of his attempts over the past two weeks. With Dallas visiting a Milwaukee squad that won’t have the injured Giannis Antetokounmpo on Sunday, it would be unsurprising if Flagg finished Week 14 with a flourish.

Before Thursday’s game, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said that Flagg could be limited to 20-25 minutes. Key word: could. The rookie played 30 minutes and showed no signs of being hampered by the sprained left ankle he suffered last week. Flagg recorded his sixth double-double of the season, and he has provided sixth-round per-game value in eight-cat formats over the past month.

Making his first appearance at Madison Square Garden as an NBA player, Flagg had a solid evening at the office as the Mavs blew out the Knicks. Over the past two weeks, the rookie has been close to a top-50 player in eight-cat formats. The lone concern for Flagg would be staying healthy, as Monday’s game was his first after missing two with a sprained ankle.

Flagg is back after missing the last two games with a sprained left ankle. His return pushes Brandon Williams to the bench, so look for the rookie to initiate a lot of the Mavericks’ offense. Williams will still take on a solid role off the bench, but his fantasy ceiling has been lowered with the change.
