Christian Braun filled the stat sheet for the Nuggets Saturday, grabbing eight rebounds, blocking one shot, dishing out four assists, and scoring 21 points (7-16 FG, 5-11 3PT, 2-2 FT) in a 136-134 win over the Spurs.

Fantasy Impact

Braun continues a modest stretch on both ends of the floor, finishing with two or more rebounds and seven or more points in each of his last five games. The 24-year-old continues to offer head coach David Adelman one of many versatile options in the Denver lineup, averaging 12.0 points, 2.8 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game to go along with a usage rate of 14.4% so far this season.

Braun set new season-highs in both points and steals Wednesday — 26 points (11-of-19 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), four steals, seven rebounds, five assists, and two three-pointers in the loss to the Grizzlies. It was also the first time he'd made 10 or more field goals in a game this season.

Fantasy Impact

The across-the-board production in a losing effort is exactly the kind of line that can carry a fantasy matchup, and both season-highs arriving in the same game makes it one of his most complete performances of the year.
