Mavericks' Max Christie: Dealing with shin injury
Rotowire
Christie (shin) is questionable for Saturday's game against the Spurs.
Christie may have picked up the injury during the Mavericks' 121-105 win over the Pacers on Friday, when he played 38 minutes and finished with 16 points, four rebounds, four assists and one steal. If he cannot play in the second leg of the Mavericks' back-to-back set, then Marcus Sasser and Zacharrie Risacher would be the top candidates to enter the starting five.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Struggles in season opener
Rotowire
Christie racked up five points (2-8 FG, 1-7 3Pt), three rebounds and two assists over 29 minutes during Wednesday's 128-110 loss to Houston.
Christie took his place in the starting lineup despite dealing with a minor foot concern. While it was good to see him on the floor, his production left a lot to be desired. He provides the team with a legit floor-spacing option, although he typically offers very little else outside of points and threes. On nights such as this, it's clear to see why he should be viewed as more of a stream-level player.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Effective off bench
Rotowire
Christie recorded 14 points (4-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 132-115 preseason win over Houston.
Christie delivered an efficient performance in a reserve role, shooting 57.1 percent from the field while connecting on both of his three-point makes. After starting Dallas' previous preseason matchup against Houston, Christie moved to the second unit for Sunday's contest, which also marked Kyrie Irving's return to action. The lineup change could signal a reserve role for Christie to begin the regular season, though his perimeter shooting should help him remain involved in the Mavericks' rotation.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Log 15 points in OT loss
Rotowire
Christie registered 15 points (6-8 FG, 3-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 137-131 overtime loss to Golden State.
Christie posted his highest point total in over a month, due in large part to a decent night beyond the arc. He missed only two shots during the narrow loss. The fourth-year pro has settled into a starting role during his first full season with the Mavericks, and a hallmark of his game is his ability to stay healthy. The guard has missed only eight games over the past two seasons, and two of those were during his transfer from Los Angeles to Dallas.

Over his last eight outings, he's averaging 27.6 minutes per contest with 8.9 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 2.0 three-pointers on 35.2 percent shooting from the field.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Shooting woes continue in loss
Rotowire
Christie ended Tuesday's 124-112 loss to the Hawks with six points (2-6 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal in 25 minutes.
Christie shot the ball poorly yet again, having now failed to hit the 40 percent mark in four of his past five games. For a player whose fantasy value is built around the ability to score the basketball, his recent numbers have been less than ideal. During that five-game span, he has averaged 7.4 points and 1.8 three-pointers, leaving him well outside the top-300 players in standard formats.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Drains four threes in loss

The Mavericks scored only 86 points as a team in this loss Sunday, but Christie was one of the few standout performers for Dallas. He's hit multiple threes in seven of his last 10 appearances since the beginning of February. Although he's shooting just 32.8 percent from deep in that span, he remains a decent fantasy contributor from a volume perspective. In that 10-game stretch, he's averaging 13.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.3 assists per contest.
