Overview
- Christie is hitting 45.9% from three on 5.5 attempts per game, including eight makes in a win at New York, placing him among the league’s most efficient high-volume shooters.
- Jason Kidd has urged Christie to increase his attempts, and the guard says he would welcome a Three-Point Contest invite if it comes.
- Advanced data shows growth beyond spot-ups, with Christie leading qualifying pick-and-roll ball handlers in points per possession on a small sample and ranking among the most efficient transition scorers.
- His production on salaries of $7.7 million this season and $8.3 million next season, plus a 2027/28 player option, makes him a cost-controlled priority for Dallas’s youth-focused build.
- P.J. Washington is cleared to return Thursday against Golden State and Daniel Gafford is questionable after practicing, factors that shape near-term rotations as Anthony Davis continues to have an injury-plagued tenure.
