Mavericks' dynamic duo of Kyrie Irving, Cooper Flagg looks unstoppable

The Dallas Mavericks are one of just two teams to ever roster three former No. 1 overall draft picks.

Cooper Flagg (2025), Zaccharie Risacher (2024) and Kyrie Irving (2011) are all members of a Dallas team that has gotten off to a 7-4 start this season.

Win No. 7 came Monday night over the Indiana Pacers, and it was highlighted by an incredible performance from Flagg and Irving.

Monday's win for Dallas was its third in a row and already the second three-game winning streak in 11 games. If the duo of Flagg and Irving continue to play anything like they did on Monday, teams across the NBA should be worried about having to play the Mavericks.

Flagg posted 43 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. He joined Kevin Durant as the only teenagers to ever post 40/10/5 in a game. Flagg also became the first teenager in NBA history to collect multiple 40-point double-doubles before turning 20.

Irving was also outstanding, as he poured in 35 points on an efficient 11-of-18 night from the field. Irving knocked down a season-high seven three-pointers, his most in a game since February of the 2024-25 season.

It is the second time this season that the duo of former No. 1 overall picks has each scored 30-plus points in a game.
