Christian Wood News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers | FOX Sports

In foul trouble Thursday Wood posted 11 points (3-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds and one block in 24 minutes during Thursday's 129-125 win over the Nets.

Impact While Wood did score the ball efficiently, his three turnovers to no assists and five fouls against a Nets team with no dominant big man is alarming. Wood snapped his streak of three consecutive 20-plus point games but should continue to score well as long he continues receiving roughly 25 minutes a game and gets easy looks from Luka Doncic.

Strong production continues in loss Wood produced 23 points (8-10 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 29 minutes during Tuesday's 113-111 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact Wood maintained his early-season momentum despite the loss, reaffirming his role as arguably the second option on offense for the Mavericks. While he is still coming off the bench behind JaVale McGee, Wood is logging starter's minutes and although some questions remain regarding his free throw shooting, he could very well flirt with top-50 value the rest of the way.

Explosive play off bench Wood ended with 25 points (9-15 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and one block across 24 minutes during Wednesday's 107-105 loss to the Suns.

Impact The addition of Wood was predicted to be a positive step for Dallas, and he made good on the investment Wednesday night with a great performance off the bench. With nights like these, JaVale McGee's role as a starter will likely be short-lived. McGee was only on the floor for 12 minutes and scored only three points. Wood seems destined to take over the reins at the five.

Wraps preseason with double-double Wood tallied 12 points (2-7 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 6-8 FT), 10 rebounds, one assists, one steal and two blocked shots over 23 minutes in a preseason win over the Jazz on Friday.

Impact Wood struggled to put the ball in the hole, but that was largely because all seven of his shot attempts came from three-point range. Despite the inefficient offensive performance, he finished with his second preseason double-double, grabbing a team-high 10 boards. Wood played in three exhibition contests, averaging 17.0 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.3 triples per contest. He's expected to work as a reserve but should see enough minutes to be productive.

Posts double-double in 25 minutes Wood registered 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-4 3Pt), 13 rebounds and one assist over 25 minutes in a 98-96 preseason win against the Thunder on Wednesday.

Impact Wood was dynamic in his first preseason action as a member of the Mavericks, leading all players in rebounds and adding 16 points. The big man averaged a double-double over 68 games for Houston last season after narrowly missing that milestone in his previous campaign, so there's little doubt about his ability to contribute as both a scorer and rebounder. He's expected to come off the bench for Dallas this season but should see enough minutes to again be a solid fantasy asset, though playing as a reserve on a new team does lend some risk to his outlook.
