Mike Curtis: Max Christie would gladly welcome an invitation to the 3-Point Contest during next month’s NBA All-Star Weekend: “That’d be great. That’d be super cool. Something I definitely wouldn’t turn down. Something that would be a dream come true for me & if I get the nod, that would be amazing. If not, I’m still grateful for the season I’m having so far.”

Mike Curtis: Final: #Mavs 114, #Knicks 97. Dallas wins its 3rd straight game, this time over a formidable opponent in the slumping Knicks, who lost their 9th game in their last 11. Max Christie led all scorers with 26 points on 8-10 from 3. He missed the team record of 10 3s, but tied a Mavs MSG record with 8 triples.
Among players attempting five or more three-pointers per game, Christie ranks inside the league’s top tier in three-point percentage. He is shooting 44.3%, placing him in the same efficiency range as several established perimeter threats, including Jamal Murray (45.1%), Sam Merrill (45.5%), and Miles McBride (43.4%).
With NBA All-Star Weekend approaching, Christie’s shooting efficiency has solidified him as a strong candidate to be invited to participate in the league’s annual Three-Point Contest. “That would be sick,” Christie told DallasHoopsJournal.com. “That would be a dream come true if I got invited to be a part of that, so I definitely wouldn’t turn it down. Either way, I’m just happy to be shooting it as well as I am right now. It’d be a great bonus to be in the three-point contest, but if not, I’m still grateful for the year I’m having so far.”
Mike Curtis: Final: #Mavs 138, #Jazz 120. Dallas evens the season series against the Jazz, with both teams claiming wins on their home court. Klay Thompson had 23 points in the first half and reached 17K points. Brandon Williams and Max Christie added 22 points each.

Max Christie came to Dallas by way of the Dončić trade. Now nearly a year into his time with the Mavericks, he has played well enough that the team views him a part of its long-term future. Kidd praised Christie for reporting to training camp in excellent shape and said the 22-year-old shooting guard could start games for the Mavericks this season. Christie has done that, starting 29 of the 38 games he’s played in.
Mike Curtis: #Mavs guard Max Christie is doubtful for tomorrow's game against the #Nuggets due to an illness. PJ Washington (right ankle) & Brandon Williams (illness) have been upgraded to questionable. Sounds like Williams plans to play. He posted "Back to it, 10!" to his Instagram story.
Christie has been open about where that growth can still come from, particularly when it comes to recognizing moments when a “good” look should become a taken one. “Personally, sometimes I pass a few up — those in-betweeners where the defender is kind of there but not really close enough,” he said after the loss to Philadelphia. “That’s something I need to continue improving on. As a team, when we get in the paint, we need the defense to collapse and then spray it out to the corners and wings to shoot threes. We’ve got to make a conscious effort, maybe run a couple more actions, to get more three-point volume.”

Mike Curtis: Max Christie on being back in LA for the second time since he was traded in February: "It's the same. I mean I was here last year, too. I'm a Maverick so I'm not really thinking about it like that. It's just another game. It feels good. It's cool to be back. Just another game."
