Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

When it comes to Cooper Flagg and the upcoming matchup against the Mavericks, the under on 41.5 points plus assists feels like a savvy play. Sure, Flagg has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 30.4 points and 3.6 assists over his last five games. But let's not ignore the nuances: on the road, those numbers dip to 23 points and 4.4 assists. Against the Mavericks specifically, his averages in recent contests have been even lower-21.5 points and just 4 assists. Historically, Flagg has thrived at home, but away from familiar surroundings, he's been less prolific. With a staggering hit rate of 20/20 for the under while on the road, it's clear he's been contained outside his comfort zone. Given the stakes and the defensive intensity we expect from Dallas, betting the under on Flagg feels not just reasonable, but almost inevitable.

As the Dallas Mavericks gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but betting on him to go over 48.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists feels like a stretch. Flagg's recent form shows he's averaging 30.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over the last five games, which totals just over 41. That's a solid number, but when you dive into his away performances, the averages dip-23 points and 4.4 assists, while rebounds remain steady at 7.4. Against the Suns, he's managed just 21.5 points per game, and on the road, that dips to 27. Plus, he's hit the under in 13 straight away games. With an expected stat value of 32.6 and a robust hit rate of 18 out of 20 recently, it's hard to see him breaking through that 48.5 barrier

As the Mavericks gear up to face the Suns, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but the smart play is taking the under on his combined points and rebounds at 41.5. Despite his impressive averages, Flagg's recent away performances reveal a different story. He's been scoring just 23 points on the road, and his rebound numbers hover around five. When you take into account that he only managed 27 points against the Mavericks in their last encounter, expecting him to significantly exceed these thresholds seems overly ambitious. With a remarkable 13-for-13 record on hitting the under in his last away games, Flagg has consistently fallen short when it matters. The Mavericks' defense has a knack for stifling opponents, and it's likely they'll keep Flagg in check again. With an expected stat value of just 29.61, it's hard to see him crossing that 41.5 barrier.
