Rookie Cooper Flagg has turned heads with a December averaging 23.5 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 4.8 assists while shooting over 51% from the field. His stat line puts him firmly in top-25 fantasy consideration despite his age and recent ankle injury.

Jalen Green is on pace to average 20 points per game, showing growth in consistency and scoring efficiency. As teams adjust around him, his role as a primary scorer appears secure, boosting his fantasy value for the remainder of the season.

With Anthony Davis sidelined, Flagg has taken on expanded minutes and responsibilities for the Mavericks, often acting as both a facilitator and big man. His performance level suggests he’s not just meeting expectations but surpassing them as a teenage standout.

Fantasy managers who passed on Flagg early due to his youth may now see him as a weekly difference-maker. Green’s scoring surge also adds to an already dynamic offensive arsenal in Houston’s backcourt.
