Rotowire
Flagg (wrist) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Spurs.

Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Shooting woes continue
Rotowire
Flagg ended with 19 points (6-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-8 FT), 10 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Tuesday's 123-99 loss to Milwaukee.
Flagg delivered a better performance than in his previous game, when he posted 12 points on 5-for-19 shooting in a loss to the Timberwolves on Monday. However, the star rookie has been struggling with his shot considerably in recent weeks, perhaps showing signs of fatigue from the long grind of his first season in the NBA. Flagg has gone three straight games without draining a three-pointer, but the long-range woes date back to March 6 when he returned from a foot sprain. In his last 15 games, Flagg is averaging 19.9 points per game but is shooting just 18.2 percent from beyond the arc while attempting multiple threes in all but two of those contests.

Mavericks' Cooper Flagg: Scores 12 points on 19 shots
Rotowire
Flagg ended Monday's 124-94 loss to Minnesota with 12 points (5-19 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 31 minutes.
Flagg was coming off a 24-point performance in the win over the Trail Blazers on Friday, but he took a huge step back on offense with a subpar shooting effort. The rookie out of Duke failed to reach the 15-point mark for the first time since March 12, and that goes to show just how consistent he's been on offense for a struggling Dallas team. He remains one of the odds-on favorites for the Rookie of the Year award, although he's in a tight race with Kon Knueppel for those honors.

The rookie will miss out on his first shot at the playoffs following a horrific 2-8 skid that put the Play-In out of reach. Flagg will need a superb stretch of games as the season ends if he hopes to take home any hardware, as Kon Knueppel may earn more votes for Rookie of the Year with the Hornets making an improbable run to the postseason.

Flagg had a subpar shooting performance in this loss, and the highly-touted prospect out of Duke took a step back after three straight games in which he surpassed the 20-point mark. The inconsistencies are part of the game for most rookies, so fantasy managers shouldn't be alarmed over one bad performance. Flagg has scored over 15 points in seven of his last nine appearances since returning from a foot injury.
