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.

Rotowire
Christie notched zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 14 minutes during Saturday's 120-119 victory over the Bulls.
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. In seven games during that time, he has averaged just 9.7 points, 1.1 steals and 1.4 three-pointers in 27.3 minutes per game.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Strong showing against Heat
Rotowire
Christie finished Thursday's 118-113 victory over Miami with 19 points (8-19 FG, 3-11 3Pt), five rebounds, five assists, one block and three steals across 39 minutes.
Making his second straight start as the Mavericks sat both Kyrie Irving (shoulder) and Klay Thompson (foot), Christie tied his season highs in both assists and steals while scoring in double digits for the sixth straight game since being acquired by Dallas. 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.

Rotowire
Christie finished with 15 points (5-8 FG, 4-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), nine rebounds, three assists and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 118-116 loss to the 76ers.
Making his Mavericks debut Tuesday, Christie made an immediate impact off the bench while falling a lone rebound shy of what would've been his first double-double of the campaign. It was also the 28th consecutive game with at least one three-pointer for Christie, who appears set to play a significant role in the Dallas backcourt going forward, even if he isn't a part of the starting lineup. The 21-year-old has averaged 11.2 points, 5.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 threes in 31.2 minutes over his last six outings.

Lakers' Max Christie: Balanced output in win

Lakers' Max Christie: Little impact in loss
Rotowire
Christie logged five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to Cleveland.
Christie has turned things around this season, earning a starting role with the Lakers. However, his performance against the Cavaliers on Tuesday was forgettable. The young guard can't afford to let his production slip, with veteran newcomers Shake Milton and Dorian Finney-Smith now angling for minutes in Los Angeles.

Lakers' Max Christie: Pops for 16 in win
Rotowire

Christie is averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 29.3 minutes a contest during that stretch, and with the Lakers having gone 5-2 since his addition to the starting five, a shakeup that bumps him back to the bench doesn't seem to be on the horizon.

Lakers' Max Christie: Goes for season-high 17 points
Rotowire
Christie chipped in 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 117-114 loss to the Pistons.
Christie recorded his best scoring mark of the campaign Monday, and he continues to do enough on both ends of the court to convince the coaching staff he deserves to remain in the starting lineup. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside from a fantasy perspective, but Christie's role as a starter should be enough to warrant at least a look as a streaming option in deep formats. Christie is averaging 8.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in seven starts in 2024-25.

Lakers' Max Christie: Scores season-high 15 points
Rotowire
Christie recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 97-87 loss to the Timberwolves.
Christie started for the second straight game and responded to JJ Redick's trust by notching his best game of the season from a scoring perspective. It's still early in the season, and even though Christie will return to the bench once LeBron James (foot) is available to return, it's hard to overlook the uptick in his numbers. He's scored in double digits in five of his previous 10 appearances, averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in that stretch while shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc.

Lakers' Max Christie: Notches 12 points
Rotowire
Christie finished with 12 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 win over Utah.
With Austin Reaves (pelvis), Cam Reddish (illness) and D'Angelo Russell (illness) all sidelined, Christie matched his season-best mark of 12 points, making the most of his newfound minutes. With the Lakers playing the Timberwolves on Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set, Christie could be called upon once again if the team is shorthanded, but the status of the aforementioned three players has yet to be reported.
