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
Rotowire
Christie ended Sunday's 100-87 loss to the Thunder with 14 points (5-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt), seven rebounds and two steals across 35 minutes.
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.

Dallas is eventually going to have more players available, but Christie is worth streaming in most fantasy leagues in the interim. The sharpshooter averaged 17.3 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 3.1 three-pointers in 32.6 minutes per contest in his last nine games.

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.

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.
