Little impact in loss Christie logged five points (2-6 FG, 1-5 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal in 28 minutes during Tuesday's 122-110 loss to Cleveland.
Impact Christie has turned things around this season, earning a starting role with the Lakers. However, his performance against the Cavaliers on Tuesday was forgettable. The young guard can't afford to let his production slip, with veteran newcomers Shake Milton and Dorian Finney-Smith now angling for minutes in Los Angeles.

Pops for 16 in win Christie closed with 16 points (5-13 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes during Wednesday's 115-113 victory over Golden State.
Impact The third-year wing scored in double digits for the second straight game and the third time in seven starts since being elevated from the bench. Christie is averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 boards, 1.6 threes, 1.1 steals and 1.0 assists in 29.3 minutes a contest during that stretch, and with the Lakers having gone 5-2 since his addition to the starting five, a shakeup that bumps him back to the bench doesn't seem to be on the horizon.

Goes for 17 points Christie chipped in 17 points (6-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 117-114 loss to the Pistons.
Impact Christie recorded his best scoring mark of the campaign Monday, and he continues to do enough on both ends of the court to convince the coaching staff he deserves to remain in the starting lineup. The lack of consistency on a game-to-game basis limits his upside from a fantasy perspective, but Christie's role as a starter should be enough to warrant at least a look as a streaming option in deep formats. Christie is averaging 8.3 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.4 steals per game in seven starts in 2024-25.

Scores season-high 15 points Christie recorded 15 points (5-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Friday's 97-87 loss to the Timberwolves.
Impact Christie started for the second straight game and responded to JJ Redick's trust by notching his best game of the season from a scoring perspective. It's still early in the season, and even though Christie will return to the bench once LeBron James (foot) is available to return, it's hard to overlook the uptick in his numbers. He's scored in double digits in five of his previous 10 appearances, averaging 9.0 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists per game in that stretch while shooting 37 percent from beyond the arc.

Notches 12 points Christie finished with 12 points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds and two assists over 30 minutes during Sunday's 105-104 win over Utah.
Impact Christie matched his season-best mark of 12 points with Austin Reaves (pelvis), Cam Reddish (illness) and D'Angelo Russell (illness) all sidelined, making the most of his newfound minutes. With the Lakers playing the Timberwolves on Monday for the second leg of a back-to-back set, Christie could be called upon once again if the team is shorthanded, but the status of those three players has yet to be reported.

Starting Saturday Christie is in the Lakers' starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pelicans, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Impact Christie will make his first start of the 2024-25 regular season Saturday due to Rui Hachimura (ankle) and Cam Reddish (leg) both being sidelined. Christie's playing time has been inconsistent, but he did play 30 minutes off the bench against the Spurs on Friday and finished with 11 points, three rebounds, one assist, two steals and one block.

Back to bench Tuesday Christie will return to the bench for Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors, Ryan Ward of LakersNation.com reports.
Impact Christie started in place of Austin Reaves (ankle) versus Milwaukee on Thursday, but with Reaves returning, Christie will reassume his role amongst the second unit. However, coach JJ Redick said Tuesday that Reaves will be on a minutes restriction for precautionary reasons, according to Dan Woike of the Los Angeles Times, so Christie will likely still see heavy usage off the bench.
