The Mavericks in the Newsroom
- BreakoutsCooper Flagg played through a sprained shoulder and posted the night's best fantasy lineQuestionable on Monday morning with a mild left shoulder sprain, Flagg played 40 minutes in Miami with 29 points, 11 assists, five steals and three blocks, and he is now tenth on both of our boards.
- BreakoutsWhat to expect from Cooper Flagg's second season, in points and in 9-catWe project Cooper Flagg for 23.6 points, 7.1 rebounds and 5.3 assists over 72 games, 9th on our ESPN points board and 13th on 9-cat, with the growth coming from what he does per minute rather than more minutes.
- Injuries · ProWhere to draft Jayson Tatum, Kyrie Irving and the stars back from long injuriesJayson Tatum, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Fred VanVleet and Walker Kessler all lost most or all of 2025-26 to injury, all five played this preseason, and our projections price each return differently.
- Strategy · ProSleeper's Lock-In format makes Embiid, Kyrie and George better picksWhen only one game a week counts, a player who misses games costs you far less, and our Sleeper board moves Joel Embiid nine places and Kyrie Irving and Paul George five.
