Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 27.5 Points (-108)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As Cooper Flagg steps onto the court against the Los Angeles Clippers, there's a compelling case to consider the under on his points total set at 27.5. While he's been a scoring machine lately, averaging 30.2 points over his last five games, a closer look reveals a trend that favors a more tempered performance here. On the road, Flagg's average dips to 23.4, which is more in line with his expected output of 21.88 for this matchup. Notably, against the Clippers, he's scored just 23 points in their last five encounters, and when playing away, that number drops to 35, but that's not sustainable. With a staggering hit rate of 12 for 12 on the under in his last away games, it seems likely he may not reach that lofty 27.5 mark this time around. Expect a solid defensive effort from the Clippers to keep Flagg in check.

John Collins (LA Clippers) Over 17.5 Points + Rebounds (-115)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Clippers prepare to face the Mavericks, John Collins presents an intriguing opportunity for the points and rebounds market. Over his last four games, he's been unstoppable, hitting the over on this prop every time-an impressive 100% hit rate that underscores his growing chemistry with his teammates. Against a Mavericks team that has struggled defensively, allowing an average of 20.2 points and 7.6 rebounds to opponents at home, Collins is primed to exploit those weaknesses. His recent averages of 16.8 points and 5 boards show he's knocking on the door of that 17.5 mark. With an expected stat value of 21.77, he could easily exceed this line. Given his solid performance at home, where he averages 10.6 points, and the fact he's hit this number in 15 of his last 18 home outings, taking the over on Collins feels like a smart play.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 12.5 Rebounds + Assists (+100)

Odds available at draftkings at time of publishing

As the Mavericks gear up to face the Clippers, all eyes are on Cooper Flagg, but the numbers suggest a conservative approach with his totals. Averaging just 6.2 rebounds and 3.6 assists over his last five games, he's not exactly lighting up the box score. When playing away, his averages dip even further-6.8 rebounds and 6 assists, illustrating the challenges of a hostile environment.Against the Clippers, Flagg's performance has been lukewarm at best, with only 7.7 rebounds and 3.3 assists in recent matchups. The trend continues with a drop to 2 assists away from home, raising red flags about his ability to clear 12.5 combined. With his recent hit rate of 3 out of 5 games falling short of this mark, it's wise to bank on the Under. Expect a tough night as Flagg navigates the Clippers' defense, making the Under a compelling play.
