Braun racked up two points (0-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), two rebounds and one block over 24 minutes during Thursday's 113-96 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. After a relatively strong start to the series, Braun came up empty Thursday, contributing to what was an ugly loss on the road. After winning the first game at home, Denver has now lost back-to-back games, handing Minnesota the upper hand. Game 4 will take place in Minnesota on Saturday, when Braun may need to increase his production if Denver hopes to avoid a 3-1 deficit.

Christian Braun: Breaking News
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 had 39 and 40, respectively. While the 25-year-old went 4-10 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.
Off injury report for Saturday
Braun (ankle/hip) is available for Game 1 on Saturday against Minnesota. Braun is set to return from a two-game absence due to ankle and hip injuries Saturday. The fourth-year swingman averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 0.7 steals in 31.8 minutes per contest across 44 regular-season games.
