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: Decent output off bench in loss
Braun registered eight points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt), nine rebounds, two assists and one block over 20 minutes during Wednesday's 110-89 loss to the Timberwolves.
No Denver player scored in double digits outside of Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic, but Braun had a strong performance off the bench, ending two points and one rebound away from reaching a double-double. Braun is widely expected to take a step forward this season after Denver lost several key bench players in the offseason, and he's answering the call to start the campaign. Through five games, Braun is averaging 8.0 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.6 blocks across 21.8 minutes per game.
