Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 31.5 Points + Assists (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Mavericks gear up to face the Suns, the spotlight will be on Cooper Flagg, but betting on him to surpass 31.5 combined points and assists might be a stretch. While he's been a dynamic player, his recent away performances tell a different story. Averaging just 23 points and 4.4 assists in his last five road games, Flagg has struggled to find his rhythm outside of familiar territory. Against the Suns, he's averaged just 21.5 points, and when you factor in his last three away contests, he hasn't eclipsed 31.5 once. The Mavericks' defensive schemes are designed to limit his impact, and given that Flagg has hit the under in 15 of his last 20 games, the odds are in our favor. With a solid expected stat value of 24.14, this is a prime opportunity to take the under and capitalize on his current form.

Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) Under 38.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-114)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Mavericks gear up to face the Suns, eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but betting on him to go over 38.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists might be a stretch. Flagg has been solid lately, averaging just over 30 points in his last five games, but when we hone in on his away performances, that number dips to around 23 points. Against the Suns, his track record isn't too promising either; he's averaging 21.5 points historically, and he's particularly struggled on the road against them with only 27 points. His assists and rebounds also trend downward away from home, with averages of 4.4 assists and 7.4 rebounds lately. With his recent hit rate showing just three out of three on the road, it's tempting, but the data suggests Flagg may fall short in Phoenix. Betting the under could be a savvy play here.

Naji Marshall (Dallas Mavericks) Over 14.5 Points (+134)

Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

As the Mavericks take on the Suns, Naji Marshall's scoring potential stands out, making the Over on 14.5 points an intriguing play. Recently, Marshall has been lighting it up on the road, averaging 20.8 points in his last five away games. This surge aligns with a solid performance against the Mavericks, where he's dropped an impressive 19.8 points per contest over the past few matchups. With a hit rate of 4 out of 5 in his last away games, he's clearly found his rhythm away from home. While his overall average is slightly lower at 13.8 in his last five, the upward trend suggests he's poised to break through against a Suns defense that may overlook him in their game plan. With an expected stat value of nearly 17 points, it's a strong bet that Marshall will not only meet but exceed the 14.5 mark tonight.
