Odds available at fanduel at time of publishing

In tonight's showdown between the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks, targeting Cooper Flagg for under 41.5 points and assists feels like a savvy bet. While Flagg has recently averaged 30.4 points and 3.6 assists over his last five games, his performance on the road paints a different picture. On away games, he's down to 23 points and 4.4 assists, which is a significant dip. Adding to this, his history against the Mavericks shows he typically scores around 21.5 points, but that number rises to 27 when playing in Dallas. This suggests he struggles to maintain offensive consistency in hostile environments. With an impressive 20-game away hit rate of 20/20 for the under, it's clear that Flagg tends to fall short of that lofty total on the road. Expect him to have a tougher night against a solid Mavericks defense, making the under a compelling play.

As the Phoenix Suns host the Dallas Mavericks, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but betting on him to stay under 42.5 points and rebounds feels like the smart play here. While Flagg has shown flashes of brilliance, averaging 30.4 points and 7.4 rebounds over his last five games, his performance tends to dip on the road. In fact, when he's away, those numbers drop to 23 points and 7.4 rebounds, which significantly alters the outlook for this matchup. Against the Mavericks, he's averaged just 21.5 points and 5.5 rebounds in recent contests. With his recent away games showcasing an alarming trend-he's hit this under in all his last 13 away games-the evidence is compelling. Given that he's been held to an average of 27 points against Dallas away, betting the under feels not only prudent but almost inevitable.

When the Mavericks face the Suns, all eyes will be on Cooper Flagg, but betting the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 48.5 seems wise. Sure, he's a rising star, but recent performances tell a different story. Averaging just 30.4 points, 7.4 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five games, he's been more productive at home than away, where he's only converting 23 points per game. The Mavs' defense is no slouch either; they've kept Flagg to an average of 27 points in away games against them, and his assists drop significantly on the road. With a staggering 13-for-13 hit rate on the under in his last away outings, it's hard to see him breaking through that threshold against a tough Phoenix team. In this matchup, it's safe to ride the under on Flagg's total.
