Mavericks' Max Christie: Gets hot on the road
Rotowire
Christie ended with 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 125-122 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Christie was only a few points shy of a new career high in a failed comeback effort against Portland. Christie's production fluctuates from night to night, dependent on the availability of other Mavericks. Overall, his playing time has been consistent as Christie averages 28.9 minutes per game this season. It's tough to depend on this kind of performance from Christie, but he's available in more than 95 percent of leagues, so he may be someone to keep on your watch list.

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.
