Mavericks' Max Christie: Nursing ankle sprain
Rotowire
Christie is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Milwaukee due to a left ankle sprain.
Christie may have picked up the injury during the Mavericks' 116-110 loss to the Lakers on Saturday, when he tallied 24 points, three assists, two rebounds and one steal over 35 minutes. Cooper Flagg (ankle) is listed as doubtful, so Jaden Hardy, Ryan Nembhard and D'Angelo Russell would be in line for even larger roles if Christie is unable to play Sunday.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Good to go against Utah
Rotowire
Christie (illness) is available for Saturday's game against the Jazz, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Christie has missed the Mavericks' last two games while battling an illness, and the fourth-year wing has progressed enough in his recovery to return Saturday.

Over his last eight starts, Christie has averaged 15.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 2.6 threes over 31.5 minutes per game.

Christie can be deemed day-to-day with an illness. The sharpshooter's absence should cement Naji Marshall's status as a strong streaming option in all fantasy leagues, whereas Klay Thompson appears to be an option in deeper setups.

Mavericks' Max Christie: Drains five threes, scores 23
Rotowire
Christie logged 23 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, one block and one steal in 32 minutes during Friday's 118-115 victory over the Pelicans.
Cooper Flagg led the way for the Mavericks with a career-high mark in scoring Friday, but Christie was one of several role players who stepped up for Dallas in this tight win between two struggling teams. Christie was particularly locked in from three-point range, and his five threes were a season-high mark. He's made at least three three-pointers in six of his last seven outings, shooting an impressive 47.6 percent from beyond the arc in that span.

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.

Meanwhile, Christie is shooting 57.9 percent from the field through three games with averages of 11.7 points, 1.7 assists, 1.0 rebounds and 3.0 three-pointers in 27.4 minutes per game.

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.

Rotowire
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.
