Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When the Dallas Mavericks take on the Los Angeles Clippers, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but betting the under on his points at 34.5 feels like the smart play here. Flagg has been exceptional lately, averaging 30.2 points in his last five games. However, on the road, that average dips to a more modest 23.4. What's even more telling is his performance against the Clippers, where he typically scores around 23 points. Given the pressure of this matchup and the defensive adjustments the Clippers are likely to deploy, it's reasonable to expect Flagg to struggle to reach that lofty threshold. Not to mention, he's hit the under in 18 of his last 20 games and has a perfect record away. With an implied probability of 77.5% for the under, it feels like a solid call to bank on Flagg falling short of that 34.5 mark.
