Braun closed Tuesday's 112-97 victory over Minnesota in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes. Braun continues to play meaningful minutes for the Nuggets, scoring double-digits for the second straight game. After failing to play more than 19 minutes during the first eight postseason games, he has now played 25 and 28 minutes respectively in each of the past two games. After reeling off three straight victories, the Nuggets now sit one win away from a trip to the Conference Finals.

Braun closed Tuesday's 112-97 victory over Minnesota in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals with 10 points (4-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes. Braun continues to play meaningful minutes for the Nuggets, scoring double-digits for the second straight game. After failing to play more than 19 minutes during the first eight postseason games, he has now played 25 and 28 minutes respectively in each of the past two games. After reeling off three straight victories, the Nuggets now sit one win away from a trip to the Conference Finals.

Braun logged 11 points (4-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two blocks in 23 minutes during Friday's 121-120 loss to the Spurs. Braun was Denver's leading bench scorer during Friday's narrow loss to San Antonio. The second-year forward also tied his season-high in blocks with two. While Braun has improved his three-point percentage from 35.4 as a rookie to 38.6 this season, his field-goal percentage has dipped from 49.5 to 46.1.
Rejoins reserves

Braun will come off the bench for Wednesday's game against the Timberwolves. Braun made a pair of starts in place of Aaron Gordon but will return to the second unit with Gordon available. The Nuggets will have their preferred starting five together for the first time since March 21, meaning Braun will likely be back to his 18-to-22-minute role.
Starting against Atlanta

Braun is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Hawks. Braun will jump into the first unit due to the absence of Aaron Gordon (foot). He's averaging 9.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game in his previous two starts this season.
Heads back to bench

Braun isn't in the starting lineup for Wednesday's game versus the Suns. Aaron Gordon will replace Braun in the starting five Wednesday after missing Denver's previous contest with a foot injury. Braun is averaging 8.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 20.2 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.
Enters starting lineup

Braun is starting Monday's game against the Grizzlies, Brendan Vogt of TheDNVR.com reports. Braun was announced as the starting small forward after Aaron Gordon (foot) was ruled out for Monday's clash. This marks Braun's second start of the season, with his first dating back to March 2 against the Lakers. He finished with two points, five rebounds, two assists, one steal and two blocks over 24 minutes in the win.
Valuable bench presence in win

Braun racked up 17 points (7-15 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), eight rebounds, six assists, one block and three steals over 36 minutes during Saturday's 114-111 victory over the Trail Blazers. Saturday marked Braun's second-best scoring performance of the season as he provided backcourt support with Jamal Murray (ankle) sidelined. While Braun's performance highlights the team's depth, it's unreasonable to expect consistent production from him unless there are backcourt absences.
Perfect from field to lead bench

Braun ended with 13 points (5-5 FG, 3-3 3Pt), four rebounds, one assist and one block over 17 minutes in Saturday's 142-121 win over Utah. Braun led all Nuggets bench players in scoring and threes made while shooting a perfect mark from deep and from the field over 17 minutes until he fouled out of Saturday's contest. Saturday marked the first time of the year where Braun finished with a perfect shooting mark when attempting five or more shots and was his ninth time of the season with 13 or more points.

Braun isn't in the starting five for Tuesday's game versus the Suns. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will reclaim his starting spot from Braun on Tuesday. Braun is averaging 6.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 21.6 minutes across his last 10 appearances coming off the bench.
