Max Christie is averaging just 8.4 PPG over his last 5 games, a significant drop from his 12.5 season average, while facing New Orleans' elite defensive rating of 119.84. Dallas is on a back-to-back, and Christie's scoring plummets to 9.5 PPG in such situations. Against the Pelicans specifically, he's posted just 8.25 PPG across 8 matchups on reduced minutes (21.4 MPG vs. 29.3 season average).
Trey Murphy III has defended Christie extensively (15.4 minutes) and held him to just 7 points on 15.4% FG. New Orleans' defensive scheme limits Christie's offensive touches and efficiency.

Last 5 average of 8.4 PPG is well below the line. Back-to-back penalty (9.5 PPG) and poor recent performance vs. New Orleans (8.25 PPG over 8 games) support the under despite his season 12.5 average.
Christie's last 5 games average 8.4 PPG—nearly 5 points below the line. His historical performance against New Orleans (8.25 PPG) and Dallas playing on a back-to-back (9.5 PPG average) create a trifecta of negative indicators. The Pelicans' elite defense and his reduced role in this matchup make the under a strong play.
