Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In Thursday's showdown between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks, targeting Cooper Flagg for under 31.5 combined points and assists feels like a smart move. Now, while Flagg has been impressive overall, averaging 30.4 points and 3.6 assists in his last five games, his away numbers tell a different story. On the road, his production dips to 23 points and 4.4 assists, and against the Mavericks, he's averaged just 27 points in previous encounters. Let's not ignore his recent form; he's hit this under in three straight away games, showcasing how the pressure of playing on the road can stifle his output. With the Mavericks keen to tighten their defense, Flagg may find it challenging to hit that lofty mark. Given these trends, I believe the under is a solid play here, especially with an expected stat value significantly below the line.

Although Flagg has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging around 30.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five games, his away performances tell a different story. His average drops to just 23 points and 4.4 assists on the road, indicating that the hostile environment can stifle his production.Against the Mavericks, he's averaging 21.5 points in their recent encounters, and when playing away, that number dips even further to 27. With Flagg's overall hit rate showing he's gone under this line 15 times in the last 20 games and 3 for 3 on the road, it's clear that this matchup plays into the trend. Expect a solid defensive effort from Dallas to keep Flagg under that threshold.
