Max Christie

With Austin Reaves sitting out Thursday's game due to a sore ankle, Christie was moved into the starting lineup. The final stat line was modest, but he made both 3-point attempts. Playing alongside playmakers like LeBron James and D'Angelo Russell, Christie will need to be effective as a catch-and-shoot option. He isn't worth drafting in most leagues, but there may be times when Christie has value as a streamer.

Reaves will sit out Thursday's exhibition with an injury that is not serious. His absence could mean more opportunities for Max Christie; however, he will be on a minutes restriction in Milwaukee. Also due to be restricted are Gabe Vincent and Cam Reddish, so most of the second-half perimeter minutes may go to players who are most likely headed to the G League.
