2025 Fantasy Outlook
Christie was moved from the Lakers to the Mavericks as part of the Luka Doncic deal mid-way through the 2024-25 season. Following a strong start to his career in Dallas, Christie's production subsided down the stretch. Across 27 games over the final two months of the season, he averaged 10.1 points to go with 4.0 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.6 three-pointers in 29.8 minutes per contest. While the Mavericks would love for Christie to work towards being the replacement for Klay Thompson, it remains to be seen whether he will get there. Other than Kyrie Irving, who is set to miss at least the first two months of the season, Dallas will roll out a relatively healthy lineup on opening night. The addition of D'Angelo Russell only complicates matters further, meaning Christie could very well end up being nothing more than a 22-minute per-night player. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Cormac Karl "Max" Christie Jr. was born in February of 2003 in Arlington Heights, Illinois. The basketball genetics were passed down through his mother Katrina who played college basketball at Northwestern and finished her Wildcat career with over 1,000 points. Christie played basketball for Rolling Meadows High School in Rolling Meadows, Illinois where he was teammates with his younger brother Cameron. Max immediately made an impact as a freshman, averaging 20 points, nine rebounds, and four assists per game. He made a jump during his junior season, averaging 25 points and 11 rebounds per game, earning Pioneer Press Player of the Year honors. As a senior, Christie averaged 24.0 points, 10.1 rebounds, 3.9 assists and 3.1 steals per game, leading his team to a 15-0 record, the Mid-Suburban league title and was selected as News-Gazette All-State Player of the Year. Christie was a consensus five-star recruit and ranked as the third-best shooting guard in the class of 2021 by ESPN. After receiving offers from Duke, Villanova and Ohio State, he committed to playing college basketball for Michigan State. As a freshman, he averaged 9.3 points and 3.5 rebounds per game and was named to the Big Ten All-Freshman Team. He decided to forego his sophomore year and declared for the draft on April 1, 2022. Christie ended up in Hollywood as the Lakers selected him in the second round with the 35th pick in the 2022 NBA draft.

Looks sharp in 15 minutes
GDallas Mavericks
October 7, 2025
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.
ANALYSIS
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.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
After dominating in the recent Summer League, Christie may very well have earned himself a consistent role in the Lakers rotation. He played just 12.5 minutes per night during his rookie campaign, averaging 3.1 points and 1.8 rebounds. However, he flashed his two-way upside in Las Vegas, putting up 19.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals, 1.6 blocks and 2.2 three-pointers in 31.8 minutes per game. He will be coming off the bench behind Austin Reaves but could very well find himself ahead of Cam Reddish in the rotation. While he isn't worth a roster spot in standard leagues, managers in deeper formats could consider him as a late-round flier, just in case he can build off his Summer League performance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Standing out in camp
GDallas Mavericks
October 6, 2025
Mavericks coach Jason Kidd said Sunday that Christie has been standing out in training camp, Grant Afseth of Dallas Hoops Journal reports.
ANALYSIS
"Doing what he's doing in training camp," Kidd said. "He's played at a very high level on both ends of the floor. If he can keep that up, he's going to be a big plus for us." Kidd added that Christie's versatility has been a defining trait, allowing him to fit seamlessly with different lineup combinations. Christie appeared in 32 regular-season contests for the Mavericks in 2024-25, posting averages of 11.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 30.4 minutes. That workload seems unrealistic with the Mavericks getting some reinforcements, but Christie seems likely to carve out a role.
