Coming off bench Saturday Braun will come off the bench for Saturday's game against the Jazz.
Impact Braun will come off the bench with the Nuggets' usual starters all getting the nod. However, he should still see extended run, especially in the second half. Over the past five games, Braun has averaged 9.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 1.2 assists in 24.8 minutes.

Gets the starting nod Braun will move into the starting lineup Friday against the Suns, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Reggie Jackson will start alongside Braun in the backcourt with Jamal Murray resting and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope out with an illness. Braun is typically a low-usage defender for the Nuggets, but he's coming off an 11-point outing versus the Pelicans and there are a lot of shots up for grabs Friday night.

Gets cardio in Saturday Braun contributed zero points (0-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) across 18 minutes during Saturday's 129-106 victory over the Bucks.
Impact Braun missed both of his shot attempts and failed to make any other tallies in the box score across 18 minutes during Saturday's blowout win. This marks Braun's third straight scoreless outing, so barring numerous injuries, fantasy managers can safely leave the rookie on the wavier wire for the final weeks of the regular season.

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.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

Available Sunday Braun (thumb) is available for Sunday's game against the Clippers.
Impact 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.

Dealing with thumb issue Braun is probable for Sunday's matchup against the Clippers due to a left thumb contusion.
Impact 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.

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.
Impact 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.

Moves back to bench Braun isn't in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota.
Impact 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.
