Nuggets' Christian Braun: Falls short of double-double
Braun logged 12 points (4-10 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist over 36 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Braun logged 36 minutes in Game 1, finishing behind Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, who were out there for 39 and 40, respectively. While the 25-year-old went 4-for-10 from the field, he missed only one of his three tries from deep while falling two rebounds shy of a double-double. Braun averaged 11.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals while shooting 20.0 percent from behind the three-point line in two meetings with the Timberwolves during the regular season. He will look to increase his statistical contributions when these clubs meet Monday night for Game 2.

Nuggets' Cameron Johnson: Quiet in Game 1
Johnson ended with 12 points (5-12 FG, 2-7 3Pt) and one assist across 33 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Johnson logged 33 minutes in Game 1. While he managed to supply 12 points, he didn't contribute much to other statistical categories and struggled from beyond the arc. With a win by the Nuggets to open the series, Johnson will look to turn things around on the offensive end Monday night in Game 2.

Nuggets' Aaron Gordon: Scores 17 points with eight boards
Gordon posted 17 points (5-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 6-8 FT), eight rebounds and three assists over 29 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Gordon did an excellent job of containing Julius Randle, holding Minnesota's star power forward to just 16 points on 7-for-16 shooting. Gordon was shoved by Randle late in the match and landed hard on his rear, but despite some grimacing, he played through it and finished the game. Gordon should be fine for Game 2 on Monday.

Nuggets' Nikola Jokic: Triple-doubles in Game 1 win
Jokic supplied 25 points (11-19 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 1-1 FT), 13 rebounds, 11 assists and one steal across 40 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 win over Minnesota in Game 1 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.
Jokic got off to a slow start, scoring just six points on four shots through the first half of play, but he came alive after halftime and helped the Nuggets open the third quarter with an 18-6 run. "To win a championship, you need the guys to step up at the right moment," Jokic said during a recent interview. "If it is not your night one game, it's OK because the next one is coming soon."

Nuggets' Jamal Murray: Nets game-high 30 points in win
Murray recorded 30 points (7-22 FG, 0-8 3Pt, 16-16 FT), five rebounds and seven assists across 39 minutes during Saturday's 116-105 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs.
While Murray struggled to get his shot to drop and missed all eight of his three-point attempts, he did an excellent job of creating contact and getting to the charity stripe for easy buckets. He was perfect at the line, committed only two turnovers in his 39 minutes of floor time and ended his evening with a team-best plus-13 differential in the 11-point win.

Jones missed Denver's final six regular-season games due to a right hamstring strain but will return for the start of the playoffs.

The 24-year-old averaged 2.7 points and 2.5 rebounds across 15.0 minutes per game in 26 regular-season appearances off the bench.
