Nuggets' Christian Braun: Shines in 20-minute performance
Braun registered nine points (3-6 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one block and two steals over 20 minutes during Thursday's 119-100 victory over Detroit.
Braun continues to impress, logging 20 minutes for the first time in three weeks. His playing time is on the rise, coinciding with Reggie Jackson basically falling out of the rotation. There isn't enough here for Braun to be considered a pickup in standard formats, but those in deeper leagues should at least put him on the radar.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Plays four minutes in blowout
Braun ended with zero points (0-1 FG) and one assist in four minutes during Wednesday's 117-96 loss to Chicago.
Braun has mostly fallen out of the rotation recently, totaling just 11 minutes over Denver's last five games. With Denver back to full strength, Reggie Jackson, Bruce Brown and Jeff Green have operated as the Nuggets' top reserves.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Dealing with thumb issue
Braun is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Clippers due to a left thumb contusion.
The issue shouldn't impact Braun's availability, but it may impact his effectiveness. He's played at least 20 minutes in six of Denver's last nine contests (one start) and has averaged 8.4 points, 3.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.1 steals in 23.6 minutes during that stretch.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Available Sunday
Braun (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Braun dealt with a left thumb contusion ahead of Sunday's matchup but will be able to suit up after being listed as probable. He's come off the bench in his last seven appearances and has averaged 6.7 points and 3.3 rebounds in 20.9 minutes per game during that time.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Big minutes off bench
Braun finished Saturday's 119-105 victory over the Hornets with 11 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds and four steals over 27 minutes.
Braun helped a shorthanded Nuggets team to a win Saturday night with some impressive defensive numbers. The rookie guard set a new career high with four steals while matching his career high in rebounds. Both Jamal Murray (knee) and Aaron Gordon (hip) were out for this game, so the boost in minutes for Braun is likely temporary, but it should be noted that he's racked up 11 steals over his past six contests.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Moves back to bench
Braun isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota.
Braun will be replaced by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the starting five Tuesday. The rookie guard is averaging 3.5 points and 2.2 rebounds in 13.6 minutes across 46 games coming off the bench this season.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Logs 19 points in spot start
Braun logged 19 points (7-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block in 34 minutes during Sunday's 128-98 loss to Minnesota.
The 2022 first-round pick looked sharp in his third start of the season, and his 19 points marked the best effort of his rookie campaign by a wide margin. On most nights, Braun plays a complementary role off the bench, but with the Nuggets down four starters, he was able to log a season-high minutes load. Denver should get all of Jamal Murray (knee), Nikola Jokic (hamstring) and Aaron Gordon (ankle) back for Tuesday's rematch with Minnesota, so look for Braun's playing time to drop off dramatically.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Starting Sunday
Braun will enter the starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.
The only Denver regular starter who will be active tonight is Michael Porter, so Braun should get all the run he can handle in this one. In his previous two starts, Braun has compiled averages of 10.5 points, 2.5 rebounds, 2.0 triples, 1.0 assist and 1.0 steal per contest.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Retreats to bench Saturday
Braun will return to a bench role Saturday versus the 76ers.
Braun made a spot start -- just his second of the year -- in the second game of a back-to-back set Wednesday versus Milwaukee as most of the team's regular starters rested. Braun will move back to the bench with the normal crew back in action Saturday and should see his minutes scaled back.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Moves to starting lineup Wednesday
Braun is in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against the Bucks.
The Nuggets are set to rest almost their entire regular starting lineup, and this will lead to more minutes for Braun, who will start in the backcourt alongside Bruce Brown. It will be the second start of the season for the former Kansas product.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Scores 10 in win
Braun recorded 10 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT, 1-1 3PT), two rebounds, two assists and one block across 15 minutes in Friday's 134-111 victory over the Pacers.
It is just the third time Braun has recorded double-digit points this season. He has played sparingly recently, but he saw 15 minutes Friday, as the Nuggets were in cruise control for most of the game. It will take an injury to somebody ahead of him in the rotation to start seeing more consistent minutes.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Nine points in 24 minutes
Braun amassed nine points (4-5 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and one block in 24 minutes during Wednesday's 127-126 loss to Sacramento.
Braun saw some additional playing time in the loss but failed to make the most of his opportunity. With Bruce Brown (ankle) sidelined, Braun may have a small window in which he is called upon to do a little more on both ends of the floor. While he is a nice fit for the Nuggets, his on-court value does not translate well when it comes to fantasy, at least at this point in his young career.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Reverts to bench
Braun will operate off the bench Friday against Portland.
Braun drew a spot start in the absence of Jamal Murray (knee) on Tuesday, but the former will head back to a reserve role with the latter back in the mix Friday. Across 27 games as a reserve, the rookie has averaged 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds in 14.1 minutes.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Scores 13 points in spot start
Braun posted 13 points (5-11 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 105-91 win over Memphis.
Braun moved into the starting lineup Tuesday, replacing Jamal Murray, who was out with a knee injury. While Braun didn't blow anyone away with his performance, he was solid enough for those who did manage to stream him in. He isn't really on the radar in standard formats but has shown glimpses of what he might be able to do long-term. He could be edging ahead of certain players in the rotation, meaning deeper league managers should at least keep an eye on the rookie moving forward.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Starting Tuesday

The rookie is making his first career start due to Jamal Murray (knee) being inactive. Braun is averaging 3.2 points and 2.1 rebounds per game this year.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Re-enters rotation Tuesday
Braun finished with five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt) and one rebound in 16 minutes in Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Mavericks.
After Braun and Bones Hyland combined to play just seven minutes in the Nuggets' previous game Sunday against the Pelicans, the two ended up essentially absorbing the rotation spot of Ish Smith, who didn't leave the bench in a coach's decision. According to Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com, head coach Michael Malone said after Tuesday's contest that he's "got to find minutes for Christian," but that may prove more difficult once Michael Porter (heel) is ultimately cleared to play. In the short term, however, Braun looks as though he could serve as one of the Nuggets' top backups on the wing.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Gets another chance in rotation
Braun ended Friday's 131-112 loss to the Celtics with two points (1-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists over 13 minutes.
Braun didn't sniff the court in his squad's last contest Wednesday against the Pacers and logged just two minutes Monday against the Spurs, but he received another opportunity Friday evening. He made his only shot from the field and snagged a pair of boards and assists, but at this point in the season, he's yet to establish a clear role in the Nuggets' rotation.
