Cooper Flagg has 26/5/8 line in win over Thunder

Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Player Stats

Cooper Flagg had 26 points (10-of-23 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, eight assists and two three-pointers in Wednesday’s 120-96 victory over the Thunder.

Flagg is averaging 25.3 points, 6.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds, 2.8 steals and 1.3 blocks through four games this year. The 19-year-old’s game Wednesday against the Thunder was even more impressive considering he also had zero turnovers. Easily the best young player in the league, Flagg may already have elevated himself into being part of the MVP conversation.

Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) returned to the lineup on Monday and finished with 29 points (12-of-23 FGs), six rebounds, 11 assists, four steals, two blocks, two three-pointers and five turnovers in a 113-109 win over the Heat.

The initial expectation was that this would be a multi-game absence for Flagg. However, it only ended up being one game on the sidelines for him, and he returned in a big way in this game. The only knock on Flagg so far this season has been the high turnover numbers, but he has been truly fantastic in every other category. Of course, the sample size is small, but if he continues to produce at this level, he will have absolutely been worth taking in the first round of fantasy drafts.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is available for Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg is good to go after a left shoulder injury suffered on Friday sidelined him for Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. His return will bump Zaccharie Risacher to the bench.

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) a game-time decision vs. Heat on Monday.

Head Coach Dusty May said Flagg is expected to play Monday vs. the Heat, but it will be a game-time decision after suffering a shoulder sprain against the Pacers.

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) was upgraded to probable for Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg made it through shootaround and was upgraded to probable for Monday’s game against the Heat. All signs point to the 19-year-old forward returning after a one-game absence. Flagg should be started in all fantasy formats as the week begins.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) participated in shootaround ahead of Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg is still listed as questionable for the matchup against the Heat, but seems to be trending in the right direction. He left Friday’s game against the Pacers with a shoulder injury and subsequently missed Saturday’s game against the Spurs. If Flagg returns Monday, he’ll replace Zaccharie Risacher in the starting lineup after only missing one game.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is questionable for Monday’s game against the Heat.

Flagg being listed as questionable on the Mavericks’ initial injury report is good news for fantasy managers. After he sustained a shoulder injury during Friday’s win over the Pacers, expectations were that the reigning Rookie of the Year would miss a few days. Now, Flagg could miss just one game after sitting out Saturday’s loss to the Spurs. If he returns, Zaccharie Risacher will head to the bench.
Naji Marshall

DAL Forward #3

Naji Marshall produced 10 points (4-of-8 FGs, 1-of- 3 FTs), four rebounds, five assists, one steal and one three-pointer in Saturday’s loss to the Spurs.

With Kyrie Irving and Cooper Flagg unavailable, Marshall moved into the starting lineup for Saturday’s game. He took on playmaking responsibilities for large stretches of the 122-106 defeat, dishing out five of the 12 assists recorded by Mavericks starters. While Irving should be back for Monday’s game against the Heat, Flagg’s shoulder injury may keep him out for multiple games. If so, Marshall is worth streaming in deep leagues.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) is out for Saturday’s game against the Spurs.

No surprise here as Flagg left Friday night’s game against the Pacers with shoulder soreness. Expect the Mavericks to play through Kyrie Irving in his absence against the Spurs on Saturday.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg was on his way with 14 points (4-of-6 FGs, 4-of-4 FTs), five rebounds, six assists, three steals, a block, and two 3-pointers before exiting with shoulder injury.

Cooper Flagg is ascending and it is happening quickly. He entered first round conversations in redraft leagues this season and is an easy top 8 asset in dynasty leagues. While he’s like Jayson Tatum in terms of a fantasy player, he will be one of the main faces of the league moving forward. Now, we await the severity of the shoulder injury he sustained. It’s officially listed as soreness, but we’ll get more details tomorrow or the day after.
Cooper Flagg

DAL Forward #32

Cooper Flagg (shoulder) will not return against the Pacers.

The official ruling is left shoulder soreness according to Marc Stein. We’ll likely get more information on the severity of it tomorrow but if he were to miss time, Naji Marshall and Zaccharie Risacher would likely be the players who would benefit the most.

Hornets head coach Charles Lee said Friday that Kon Knueppel (hamstring) responded well after a recent practice with the Hornets’ G League affiliate.

Kneuppel, who suffered a hamstring strain before the preseason, is progressing toward making his 2026-27 debut. According to Lee, the second-year guard’s hamstring responded well after a recent G League practice. Next, Knueppel needs to acclimate to his teammates after the Hornets return from their road trip, which ends on Friday. Knueppel doesn’t have an exact return timeline, but managers stashing him in an IL spot should begin planning for that day.

76ers head coach Nick Nurse said that Dean Wade will likely start Friday’s game against the Knicks.

The 76ers won’t have Jaylen Brown for Friday’s game, as he’s been ruled out with a knee injury. Wade, who was assigned to defend Jaylen Brunson at times while with the Cavaliers, is likely the replacement in the starting lineup. That raises his ceiling slightly as a streamer, but Kentavious Caldwell-Pope should also see more playing time.
