Max Christie News, Rumors, Updates - Dallas Mavericks

Strong outing in home debut Christie supplied 23 points (5-10 FG, 4-5 3Pt, 9-10 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one block over 23 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 win over the Rockets.

Impact Christie was inserted into the starting lineup for the second half of Saturday's game due to P.J. Washington being ruled out with a right ankle sprain. Christie played the entire fourth quarter, scoring 10 of his 23 points (seven of which came from the charity stripe) in the final frame. He is averaging 17.7 points on 66.7 percent shooting from three-point range over his first three games with Dallas, and he could be inserted into the Mavericks' starting lineup against the Kings on Monday if Washington cannot play.

Perfect from deep in team debut 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.

Impact 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 a 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 through his last six outings.

Will make Mavs debut Tuesday Christie (recently traded) is listed as available for Tuesday's game against Philadelphia.

Impact The 21-year-old is slated to make his Mavericks debut on Tuesday after having been included in the trade that sent Anthony Davis (abdomen) to Dallas in exchange for Luka Doncic (calf). Christie will likely come off the bench for Dallas, as he is expected to compete for playing time with Spencer Dinwiddie, Quentin Grimes and Dante Exum in a stacked backcourt. Christie started in his final 23 appearances for the Lakers, averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 three-pointers, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals in 30.7 minutes per contest.

Questionable for Tuesday Christie (recently traded) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

Impact After being traded to the Mavericks on Saturday, Christie may not be ready to make his team debut Tuesday. If the 21-year-old sits out against Philadelphia, Dante Exum and Quentin Grimes should handle significant playing time in Dallas' rotation.

Won't make Mavericks debut Sunday Christie (not injury related) won't be available for Sunday's game against Cleveland, Mavericks radio play-by-play broadcaster Chuck Cooperstein reports.

Impact The third-year pro was recently traded to the Mavericks in a historic package centered around Luka Doncic (calf) and Anthony Davis (abdomen), though Davis and Christie will both be sidelined Sunday. The 21-year-old will likely have to compete for the starting job alongside Kyrie Irving (shoulder) whenever he is deemed available. However, Christie's progression with the Lakers is a positive indicator that he'll still see significant minutes with Dallas. The second-rounder out of Michigan State had started in 23 consecutive appearances for Los Angeles entering Saturday, averaging 10.7 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.0 threes, 1.6 assists and 0.8 steals while shooting 40.0 percent from downtown in 30.7 minutes per contest.

Impact It was a late-night trade involving the Mavericks, Lakers and Jazz that shook the NBA on Saturday. Davis and Doncic are the obvious headliners for the trade, but the Mavericks also receive a capable guard in Christie, who was permanently inserted into the Lakers' starting lineup Dec. 8 and has since been averaging 10.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists over 30.8 minutes per game. It's unclear whether Christie will join Davis in the starting lineup alongside Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson or if the third-year guard will come off the bench in Dallas.

Balanced output in win Christie posted 15 points (6-10 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes during Saturday's 128-112 victory over the Knicks.

Impact Christie logged his highest scoring output since a 16-point outing in the Jan. 15 win over Miami. Over his last 10 appearances, the 21-year-old has averaged 9.6 points, 3.7 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.7 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers in 30.9 minutes per game. Christie has nailed at least one triple in 27 consecutive games, and he should remain fantasy relevant in deeper formats as long as he holds onto a role in Los Angeles' first unit.

Blocks three shots Christie finished Tuesday's 111-88 win over Washington with five points (2-7 FG, 1-5 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and three blocks over 31 minutes.

Impact Christie recorded a career-high three blocks in the win and had another solid workload for the Lakers. Meanwhile, Dalton Knecht played just eight minutes and is trending in the opposite direction. Christie has averaged 32.0 minutes per game in January with averages of 12.3 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 0.9 blocks, 0.7 steals and 2.1 three-pointers over his last nine games.

Efficient in victory Christie notched 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and two steals in 37 minutes during Wednesday's 117-108 victory over Miami.

Impact Christie has seen a significant increase in his production since being inserted into the starting lineup on Dec. 8. In the 21-year-old guard's 15 outings since moving into the starting unit, he is averaging 12.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.1 steals in 31.1 minutes. Impressively, Christie is also shooting 48.4 percent from the field and 40.8 percent on 4.7 three-point attempts per contest over that span.

Impact Christie posted a career-high 28 points during an impressive outing Thursday. The third-year pro also hit a career-high mark from beyond the arc, and he has made the most of his opportunities while starting in the club's last 10 outings.

Little impact in loss 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.

Impact 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.

Pops for 16 in win Christie closed with 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-113 victory over Golden State.

Impact The third-year wing scored in double digits for the second straight game and the third time in seven starts since being elevated from the bench. 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.

Goes for 17 points 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.

Impact 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.
