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: Dishes six assists in loss
Rotowire
Christie accumulated 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and six assists in 33 minutes during Monday's 110-102 loss to the Rockets.
Christie drew the start again and did not disappoint, draining three triples en route to 17 points and handing out six dimes. In four starts this season, Christie is averaging 13.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.3 blocks and 2.5 threes made on an efficient 53.8 percent from the field and 43.5 percent from beyond the arc. While his free-throw shooting may need some work, averaging 66.7 percent from the line, this statline has been amazing and Dallas should continue to have him in the starting lineup while Anthony Davis (calf) and Dereck Lively (knee) recover from their respective injuries.

While the 22-year-old may shift back to a bench role once Dallas is fully healthy, he's proven to be a reliable contributor in the starting lineup with Anthony Davis (calf) and Dereck Lively (knee) dealing with injuries.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Shot goes missing Saturday
Rotowire
Christie amassed six points (2-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound and one assist in 18 minutes during Saturday's preseason loss to Charlotte.
Christie struggled to find his footing on the offensive end, a worrying sign coming off what was a disappointing end to the 2024-25 season. Despite the injury to Kyrie Irving (knee), Christie's role this season is likely to be somewhat limited. His overall skill set does him no favors, leaving him as more of a modest scoring threat off the bench.
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.
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.

This was a solid all-around performance from Christie, but lines like these have been few and far between. Over his last seven appearances, Christie's fantasy appeal has been limited to deeper formats with averages of 9.1 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.3 three-pointers.
