Mavericks' Max Christie: Drains five threes, scores 23
Rotowire
Christie logged 23 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 118-115 victory over the Pelicans.
Cooper Flagg led the way for the Mavericks with a career-high mark in scoring Friday, but Christie was one of several role players who stepped up for Dallas in this tight win between two struggling teams. Christie was particularly locked in from three-point range, and his five threes were a season-high mark. He's made at least three three-pointers in six of his last seven outings, shooting an impressive 47.6 percent from beyond the arc in that span.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Bounces back with 15 points
Rotowire
Christie accumulated 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 113-111 loss to the Knicks.
After being nearly invisible in Monday's loss to the Timberwolves with one point and one assist in 19 minutes, Christie returned to his usual level of production Wednesday. Over 13 games since shifting into the starting five for the Mavs, the fourth-year guard is averaging 12.4 points, 4.2 boards, 2.7 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.1 combined steals and blocks in 30.8 minutes a contest.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Plays just 19 minutes in loss
Rotowire
Christie finished Monday's 120-96 loss to Minnesota with one point (0-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and one assist across 19 minutes.
Christie's 12-game streak of scoring at least 10 points came to an end Monday, as his only point came from splitting a pair of free throws. Christie has scored at least nine points in every game this season, leading up to Monday's clash with Minnesota, and he likely played only 19 minutes due to the blowout nature of the game, so expect him to bounce back Wednesday against the Knicks.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Extends scoring run
Rotowire
Christie provided 13 points (5-12 FG, 3-8 3Pt), five rebounds, three assists and three blocks across 30 minutes during Monday's 116-114 loss to the Bucks.
Another game, another instance where Christie scores in double digits while hitting multiple three-pointers. This was his ninth straight game with double-digit points, and the former Michigan State star has drained two or more threes seven times in that span. Christie is averaging 14.0 points, 3.6 boards and 2.7 assists per game while shooting 42.6 percent from the floor in that nine-game stretch.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Scores 18, drains four threes
Rotowire
Christie racked up 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt), one rebound, one assist, and one block over 28 minutes during Friday's 118-104 loss to Memphis.
Christie has started in each of the Mavericks' last six games and has done a good job after scoring in double digits each time. This 18-point output was a season-high mark for the fourth-year forward. Christie should remain a valuable fantasy asset as long as he stays in a starting role. He's averaging 14.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game when deployed in the first unit.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Strong impact off bench
Rotowire
Christie closed Sunday's 139-129 victory over the Raptors with 17 points (5-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal in 27 minutes.
Klay Thompson continues to struggle for the Mavericks, and his minutes are taking a hit. Meanwhile, Christie is shooting 57.9 percent from the field through three games with averages of 11.7 points, 1.7 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in 27.4 minutes per game. This position battle is swinging in Christie's favor despite Thompson's deep resume.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Looks sharp in 15 minutes
Rotowire
Christie logged 12 points (3-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three assists and two rebounds in 15 minutes of Monday's 106-89 preseason win over the Thunder.
Coach Jason Kidd really spread the minutes out Monday, making it hard to get a good read on the entire rotation. That being said, Christie is projected to be a big part of the second unit and has drawn praise from Kidd during training camp for his versatility and ability to play multiple positions. The Mavericks are much deeper in 2025-26, however, so Christie is unlikely to duplicate his success from a minutes standpoint.

Rotowire
Christie finished with 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-5 3Pt), one rebound and one block across 21 minutes during Friday's 120-106 Play-In Game loss to the Grizzlies.
Christie's quality bench scoring wasn't enough for the Mavericks to avoid elimination from playoff contention. The 22-year-old was traded from the Lakers to the Mavericks in February and instantly became a major factor in Dallas' rotation. Across Christie's 32 regular-season appearances for Dallas, including 11 starts, he averaged 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2.5 assists in 30.4 minutes.

Christie logged 35 starts between the Lakers and Mavericks this season, averaging 10.7 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. He's not expected to see a sizable role in the rotation during the postseason.

Christie was invisible in the win, failing to score for the first time since joining the Mavericks. While he should be better than this on most nights, his role and subsequent production have taken a hit over the past two weeks.

The third-year guard is averaging 17.3 points, 5.2 boards, 3.5 assists, 2.5 threes and 1.2 steals a contest for his new club, and Christie should retain a significant role in the rotation coming out of the All-Star break, even after the Mavs get healthy.
