  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Heads back to bench

    Braun isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Suns.

    Aaron Gordon will replace Braun in the starting five Wednesday after missing Denver's previous contest with a foot injury. Braun is averaging 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 20.2 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Enters starting lineup

    Braun is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports.

    Braun was announced as the starting small forward after Aaron Gordon (foot) was ruled out for Monday's clash. This marks Braun's second start of the season, with his first dating back to March 2 against the Lakers. He finished with two points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks over 24 minutes in the win.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Valuable bench presence in win

    Braun racked up 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 victory over the Trail Blazers.

    Saturday marked Braun's second-best scoring performance of the season as he provided backcourt support with Jamal Murray (ankle) sidelined. While Braun's performance highlights the team's depth, it's unreasonable to expect consistent production from him unless there are backcourt absences.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Perfect from field to lead bench

    Braun ended with 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes in Saturday's 142-121 win over Utah.

    Braun led all Nuggets bench players in scoring and threes made while shooting a perfect mark from deep and from the field over 17 minutes until he fouled out of Saturday's contest. Saturday marked the first time this year Braun has finished with a perfect shooting mark when attempting five or more shots, and this was his ninth time with 13 or more points on the campaign.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Moves back to bench

    Braun isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Suns.

    Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, who missed the previous contest due to personal reasons, will reclaim his starting spot from Braun on Tuesday. Braun is averaging 6.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Steps into starting role

    Braun is in the starting lineup to face the Lakers on Saturday.

    Braun will start at shooting guard due to the absence of Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal). This will be Braun's first start of the season and seventh of his NBA career. He's averaging 6.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game in 60 appearances off the bench in 2023-24.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Fails to step up

    Braun produced seven points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds and two steals in 22 minutes during Monday's 112-95 loss to the Bucks.

    Braun did not deliver any offensive punch despite Jamal Murray (leg) and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (hamstring) being ruled out in the second half. He is averaging 7.0 points and 3.5 rebounds in 18.9 minutes per game this season.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Pops for 10 points in loss

    Braun contributed 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), five rebounds and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 105-100 loss to Oklahoma City.

    Braun scored double-digits for the first time in more than two weeks, continuing his lean spell of late. He has played fewer than 20 minutes in 10 of the past 11 games, failing to take his performances to the next level. He is now outside the top 300 for the season and can be safely left on waiver wires in all competitive leagues.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Good to go

    Braun (ankle) is available for Sunday's game against the Pacers.

    As expected, Braun has been upgraded from probable to available. He's yet to miss a game this season, averaging 5.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 steals-plus-blocks in 18.8 minutes over his last six appearances.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Probable against Pacers

    Braun is probable for Sunday's game against the Pacers due to a left ankle sprain.

    Braun has yet to miss a game this season, and his ankle issue doesn't look to be serious enough to force an absence. The second-year player is averaging 5.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.2 turnovers in 18.8 minutes across six January appearances.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Scores in double figures

    Braun provided 11 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, four assists and one steal over 23 minutes during Thursday's 142-105 win over Memphis.

    Braun saw an uptick in playing time during Thursday's blowout victory and contributed in multiple areas. He matched his second-highest assist total of the season while also scoring in double figures for the second time in his last three appearances. The 22-year-old has been an inconsistent contributor this month, averaging 7.9 points and 2.9 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per game in December.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Limited to 11 minutes

    Braun produced six points (2-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and one assist over 11 minutes during Monday's 120-114 victory over Golden State.

    Braun had six points in 11 minutes, the fourth time in the past five games that he has scored fewer than seven points. While he has had some encouraging moments thus far, his season as a whole has been disappointing. He is the 261st-ranked player in nine-category leagues, leaving him well off the radar outside of very deep formats.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Scores in double figures again

    Braun provided 10 points (4-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists and two blocks over 24 minutes during Thursday's 124-101 victory over Brooklyn.

    Braun has had a limited impact on the scoreboard in recent weeks, but he scored in double figures for a second consecutive matchup Thursday. He also made an impact on the defensive end with a season-high two blocks. Over seven appearances in December, the 22-year-old has averaged 8.3 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18.1 minutes per game.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Disappoints in loss Friday

    Braun ended Friday's 114-106 loss to the Rockets with two points (1-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and two steals over 14 minutes.

    Braun managed just two points in 14 minutes, the fewest he has scored in almost two weeks. He has played fewer than 20 minutes in five of the past six games, struggling to maintain a consistent role. It is unclear what his exact role is moving forward, and the improved play of Peyton Watson only complicates matters. At this point, Braun does not need to be rostered outside of deeper formats.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Continues strong play off bench

    Braun closed with 15 points (5-10 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Monday's 107-103 victory over Detroit.

    In Jamal Murray's (hamstring) absence, Braun has stepped up and provided a spark off the bench. He led all of Denver's reserves in scoring and rebounds Monday while finishing as one of three Nuggets with 15 or more points, though he did start the second half in place of Nikola Jokic, who was ejected in the first half. Braun has reached double figures in four straight games, tallying at least 15 points in two of those outings.

  • Nuggets' Christian Braun: Plays well Sunday

    Braun posted 13 points (6-11 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and two rebounds across 25 minutes during Sunday's 121-109 loss to Cleveland.

    Braun is starting to trend up in fantasy basketball, as he's been asked to play a larger role in the absence of Jamal Murray (hamstring). Over the last three games, Braun is averaging 16.0 points, 4.0 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.3 three-pointers.
