Eligibility
Availability
Christian Braun will be re-evaluated in six weeks after suffering a left ankle sprain during Wednesday’s win over the Clippers, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.
Fantasy Impact
With Braun facing an extended absence, Tim Hardaway should see increased opportunities after replacing him in the second half Wednesday, while Bruce Brown and Julian Strawther are also candidates for additional minutes.
Christian Braun left Wednesday’s game against the Clippers early with an ankle injury.
Fantasy Impact
Braun and Cam Johnson (arm) both exited the game in the first half. Tim Hardaway Jr. and Spencer Jones would take on bigger roles if they miss time.
Christian Braun scored 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3P, 2-2 FT) with a rebound, assist, and a steal in the Nuggets' 122-108 win over the Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Braun was a bit quiet in this one, a recurring theme this season. He's struggled to get much going consistently and has regressed from where he was last year, but could certainly switch that around at any moment.
Christian Braun scored 21 points (7-10 FG, 1-3 3PT, 6-9 FT) and grabbed four rebounds in Monday night's 130-124 win over the Sacramento Kings.
Fantasy Impact
Braun played a big role in Denver's win over the Kings on Monday, scoring 21 points on 70% shooting from the field. Fantasy managers should be well pleased with this performance from the 24-year old and he will remain a must-start fantasy asset moving forward.
Christian Braun scored 20 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3PT, 8-8 FT) while also dishing out three assists, recording two steals, and grabbing three rebounds in the Nuggets' 133-111 win over the Suns Saturday night.
Fantasy Impact
Braun has made the most of limited touches to begin the season, averaging 13.0 points per game on just 17 field goal attempts over the first two games for the Nuggets. The guard continues to flash dynamic finishing ability and will look for increased touches as part of a versatile Denver starting five led by center Nikola Jokic and guard Jamal Murray on a nightly basis to this point.
