RecapCooper Flagg accumulated 18 points (6-of-19 FGs, 6-of-8 FTs), eight rebounds, six assists and one block over 38 minutes in Saturday’s loss to the Cavaliers.
It was an extremely rare clunker for Flagg, who missed on all six of his attempts from three-point range and shot just 32 percent from the floor. He’s cobbled together a pair of lackluster performances following a season-high 43-point performance against the Pacers earlier this week. Despite the recent rough patch, he’s supplied first-round fantasy value as an all-around contributor this season, averaging 24.1 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks through 12 games. The Mavericks are back in action with a road tilt against the Celtics on Sunday.
