Impact Flagg scored a bit Monday but disappointed with just three combined rebounds and assists, marking the lowest single-game total of his young NBA career. Even with the forgettable outing, the 2025 No. 1 overall pick continues to show steady growth, averaging 18.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.0 blocks over his past five contests. Even amid the Mavericks' overall struggles, Flagg is already showing the traits of an emerging all-around star.

Impact Flagg has been slightly inconsistent with his scoring numbers, but his impact goes well beyond what he can do as a scoring weapon in a Dallas offense that continues to struggle -- even if Sunday's game ended with a win. Flagg finished just two boards shy of a double-double while also recording at least two blocks for the third time this season. The rookie out of Duke is averaging 16.8 points, 7.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.9 blocks per game since the beginning of November.
