Cooper Flagg posted 43 points, 10 rebounds, six assists, three steals, one block and three triples on 16-of-25 shooting and 8-of-8 from the line over 39 minutes as a starter in the Mavericks' 125-122 win over the Pacers on Monday, November 9. He also committed five turnovers in the victory.

The enormous line comes from a player already putting up 47.9 fantasy points a game over his previous 9 games, so his value was priced in before this outing. Flagg is averaging 25.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.9 assists in 34.1 minutes over 10 games this season with a 29.3% usage rate and 59.0% true shooting. He ranks 14th overall with a nine-category value of 4.08 and projects to 43 fantasy points a night.

Cooper Flagg

Flagg's 43-point explosion was well above his 24.0 points a game over his previous 9 games, though his percentages and supporting categories were consistent with his work all season. The 16-of-25 shooting and perfect 8-of-8 free-throw mark drove the scoring surge, and he added strong defensive contributions with three steals. His minutes averaged 36.4 per game over his last five contests, up 2.3 from his season average, and he has started every game this season.

Dallas has one game left this week (Monday), then no games next week. Flagg's recent workload, elite usage and strong efficiency make him a locked-in hold across all formats. His ability to fill every category except blocks at high volume keeps him firmly in the top 15 overall, and his combination of usage rate and scoring ability makes him a fixture in fantasy lineups.

What to do

• Hold Flagg as a top-15 player in both nine-category and points leagues.

• Start him in Monday's final game of the week with confidence.

• Monitor his minutes trend, which has climbed over his last five outings.
