Fantasy Impact:
With D'Angelo Russell resting for Monday’s preseason game against the Utah Jazz, rookie Cooper Flagg took over point guard duties alongside Anthony Davis, Dereck Lively II, P.J. Washington and Klay Thompson. The unit clicked immediately, combining interior dominance with strong defensive play. Dallas out-rebounded Utah 59-48, blocked 10 shots, and held the Jazz to 40.2 percent shooting. Flagg impressed with 11 points, seven rebounds, one assist and two blocks, showing poise running the offense and finding open teammates in transition. While he may not open the regular season as the starting point guard, Flagg will likely see some playing time there. His ability to facilitate from the forward spot and confidently direct the offense could boost his assist totals, making him an intriguing early fantasy target with potential to rank among the top forwards in assists.
