Back to bench Brown will operate off the bench Friday against the Trail Blazers.

Impact Brown will revert to a bench role with Michael Porter back in the mix, but the ladder is expected operate under a minutes restriction, meaning Brown should still see a decent role off the bench. Across 12 appearances as a reserve, Brown has averaged 9.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.2 assists in 26.1 minutes.

Thrives in Murray's absence Brown finished with 16 points (6-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and two blocks across 35 minutes in Tuesday's 105-91 win over the Grizzlies.

Impact With Jamal Murray (knee) sitting out in what was likely a maintenance day, Brown benefited from a nice spike in usage and was able to finish with at least four assists for the fourth straight contest. Brown's scoring and assists outputs will likely be more volatile when Murray and Michael Porter (heel) are back in action, but the 6-foot-4 rebounds well for his size, contributes well in both of the defensive categories and typically shoots well from the field. He'll likely be more of a low-end option in 12-team category leagues once the Nuggets are at full strength, but for the time being, fantasy managers can enjoy Brown's uptick in numbers on the offensive end.

Solid contribution in loss Brown finished Friday's 126-108 loss to the Lakers with 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), five rebounds, five assists and two blocks across 35 minutes.

Impact Brown has posted solid, balanced lines for the Nuggets throughout the past month, but the impending return of Michael Porter (heel) will affect his production somewhat. Brown exploded with a triple-double right after Porter went down and has been steady since, but he only averaged 10.8 points, 4.5 assists and 4.1 rebounds leading up to that point, a definite regression relative to his recent results

Across the board numbers in loss Brown closed Tuesday's 116-115 loss to the Mavericks with 12 points (3-7 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal in 30 minutes.

Impact Brown continues to play sizable minutes for the Nuggets, cobbling together another serviceable fantasy line. He has now started seven consecutive games, putting up top-50 value over that period. While he won't help you significantly in any one category, he does have the ability to chip in across the board, making him a valuable commodity, especially in roto formats.

Triple-doubles in OT victory Brown accumulated 17 points (7-14 FG, 3-6 3Pt), 13 rebounds, 10 assists and four steals over 45 minutes during Wednesday's 131-126 overtime victory over the Thunder.

Impact Brown moved into the starting lineup and delivered a stellar performance. His ability to contribute on both ends of the floor was on full display, continuing what has been a strong start to the season. Both Jamal Murray (conditioning) and Bones Hyland (illness) were out, affording Brown all the minutes he could handle. Once they return to action, Brown should shift back to a 25-minute-per-night role. Numbers like this are obviously unsustainable moving forward but given his importance to the team, he should be a fringe standard league option the rest of the way.

Turns in first double-double Brown amassed 16 points (5-14 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), 10 rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 131-112 loss to the Celtics.

Shines bright in victory Thursday Brown supplied 15 points (6-11 FG, 3-6 3Pt), five rebounds, nine assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Thursday's 122-110 victory over Oklahoma City.

Impact Brown logged in excess of 30 minutes for the third time in his last four games, providing serviceable production across the board. With the Nuggets shorthanded, it was Brown who stepped up, something that shouldn't come as a surprise. He currently sits just outside the top 120 for the season, making him a viable 12-team commodity. While he isn't necessarily a must-roster player, he is certainly worth grabbing on nights when the Nuggets need reinforcements in the backcourt.
