Gets hot on the road
Christie ended with 25 points (8-12 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and five assists across 29 minutes during Monday's 125-122 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Analysis
Christie was only a few points shy of a new career high in a failed comeback effort against Portland. Christie's production fluctuates from night to night, dependent on the availability of other Mavericks. Overall, his playing time has been consistent as Christie averages 28.9 minutes per game this season. It's tough to depend on this kind of performance from Christie, but he's available in more than 95 percent of leagues, so he may be someone to keep on your watch list.

Starting Saturday
Christie will start against the Kings on Saturday, Sean Cunningham of Fox 40 Sacramento reports.
Analysis
The 22-year-old swingman will get the starting nod for the first time since Dec. 5, pushing Naji Marshall to the second unit. In 21 starts so far this season, Christie has averaged 12.1 points, 3.6 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 29.2 minutes per contest.

Good to go Thursday
Christie (illness) is available for Thursday's game against Golden State, Mike Curtis of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis
Christie missed the Mavericks' last two games due to an illness, but he has recovered enough to return Christmas Day. Christie's availability means fewer minutes will be available off the bench for Jaden Hardy and Caleb Martin. Christie averaged 8.0 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.4 assists over 23.4 minutes per game in his five outings before his two-game absence.
