Braun chipped in 24 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 win over Charlotte. Braun moved back into the starting lineup, filling in for the injured Russell Westbrook who was sidelined due to a hamstring issue. After a red-hot start to the season, Braun's production had tailed off until recently, having now scored at least 20 points in six of the past 10 games. Over the past eight games, he is averaging 18.9 points to go with 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers. Should Westbrook be forced to miss additional time, Braun should be able to hold down a starting role moving forward.

Christian Braun Latest News
Records double-double Saturday
Braun chipped in 24 points (9-15 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Saturday's 107-104 win over Charlotte. Braun moved back into the starting lineup, filling in for the injured Russell Westbrook who was sidelined due to a hamstring issue. After a red-hot start to the season, Braun's production had tailed off until recently, having now scored at least 20 points in six of the past 10 games. Over the past eight games, he is averaging 18.9 points to go with 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 steals and 1.5 three-pointers. Should Westbrook be forced to miss additional time, Braun should be able to hold down a starting role moving forward.
Starting Saturday vs. Charlotte
Braun is in the Nuggets' starting lineup against the Hornets on Saturday. Braun will take the place of Russell Westbrook (hamstring) in the starting lineup Saturday. Braun averaged 14.5 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.8 assists over 29.9 minutes per game in January.
Not starting Wednesday
Braun will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Knicks. Aaron Gordon replaces Braun in the starting lineup, resulting in Braun's first contest as a reserve this season. Although he won't be part of the first unit, expect Braun to see a sizeable role off the bench.
Lands career-high 28 points
Braun logged 28 points (11-15 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, four assists, one block and two steals across 33 minutes during Monday's 129-121 loss to the Bulls. Braun erupted for a career-high 28 points, continuing his recent uptick in production. He has now scored at least 20 points in five of the past seven games, a welcome sight after a scoring slump to begin the month. He has started every game this season, averaging 14.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointers in 32.4 minutes per game.
Drops 21 points in win
Braun accumulated 21 points (8-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, two steals, one assist and one block across 25 minutes during Thursday's 132-123 win over Sacramento. The 23-year-old recorded his third consecutive contest with at least 20 points, finishing as the club's second-leading scorer behind Nikola Jokic (35 points). Thursday's win also marked Braun's 11th outing with multiple swipes. The third-year guard has taken a significant leap this season, and he has been stellar over his last five outings, during which he has averaged 19.0 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.2 assists while shooting 67.9 percent from the field in 29.6 minutes per game.
Scores 20 points Tuesday
Braun closed with 20 points (8-11 FG, 4-5 FT), two rebounds, two assists and one steal over 25 minutes during Tuesday's 144-109 victory over the 76ers. Braun had a solid showing in this blowout win and reached the 20-point plateau for the third time over his last four appearances. He seems to be growing more comfortable on offense as the season progresses, and with Russell Westbrook adopting a lesser role in the scoring column, Braun has done a good job of taking advantage of that opportunity. Braun is averaging 13.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists pe game since the beginning of January.
Tallies 20-10 double-double in win
Braun accumulated 20 points (6-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 7-7 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and one block across 36 minutes during Sunday's 113-100 win over the Magic. Braun put forth a balanced showcase Sunday, posting a team-high-tying scoring total while finishing second on the team in rebounds and as one of two Nuggets with a double-double in a winning effort. Braun posted a new season high in rebounds, his first double-digit rebound total of the year. He has now surpassed the 20-point mark in five contests, including in two of his last three outings.
Season-high 22 points in loss
Braun logged 22 points (10-11 FG, 2-3 3Pt), four boards and one assist in 35 minutes of action in Wednesday's 128-108 loss to the Rockets. The third-year guard matched Jamal Murray as the team's leading scorers with Nikola Jokic (elbow) sidelined and Michael Porter cobbling together a quiet outing Wednesday. Having only missed one shot all night, Braun's efficiency was encouraging, but he didn't contribute much across the board. However, if Jokic can't suit up for Friday's game against the Heat, Braun could be someone to keep an eye on in deeper formats.
Records three blocks
Braun racked up six points (3-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and three blocks in 29 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 victory over Dallas. Despite a quiet showing offensively, Braun made up for it with a season-high three blocks. He continues to have a career season for Denver and is on pace to return seventh-round value in nine-category formats with averages of 13.4 points, 4.7 rebounds, 2.0 assists, 1.1 steals and 0.6 blocks.
