"Cooper Flagg, PG/SF/PF, Dallas Mavericks (99.5% rostered in ESPN leagues) Flagg has been the best player in fantasy over the last two weeks, averaging 33.4 points, 1.8 3-pointers, 8.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks on 53% shooting from the field and an 84% success rate at the free throw line over his last five games. It's Flagg against the world in Dallas and he's currently winning."
"However, the Mavs are not, getting victories in just three of their last 13 games and sitting four games behind the Portland Trail Blazers for the final play-in spot in the West. The Mavs essentially traded Luka Doncic for 34-year-old Khris Middleton and some spare parts, with only Naji Marshall looking like a teammate that might be able to help Flagg."
"Luckily for fantasy managers, Flagg and the Mavs have a laser focus on him winning the Rookie of the Year Award, so I'm guessing Flagg will finish out the season, despite the team going nowhere. Plus, the fact that former college teammate Kon Knueppel is breathing down his neck for the award helps Flagg's chances of playing big minutes the rest of the way."
Thursday's NBA trade deadline has passed, setting roster realities for the rest of the season. Cooper Flagg is delivering elite fantasy production, averaging 33.4 points, 1.8 3-pointers, 8.8 rebounds, 4.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 1.4 blocks over his last five games on 53% shooting and 84% free-throw rate. The Dallas team is struggling, winning three of 13 and sitting four games out of the play-in after trading Luka Doncic. Fantasy managers should ride Flagg's hot stretch or sell high for significant return. Saddiq Bey and Ty Jerome are trending upward, while Zach LaVine, Shaedon Sharpe and DeMar DeRozan provide limited fantasy value currently.
