  2D ago • By RotoWire

  Braun posted 15 points (7-12 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and five steals across 37 minutes during Friday's 101-94 loss to the Pelicans. Braun has been one of the most surprising performers for a struggling Denver team, and he's been remarkably consistent on both ends of the court while proving to be ready to handle the starting role left by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope in the offseason. Braun has scored at least 15 points in all but four games this season and is averaging 16.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game while shooting 47.2 percent from deep in 11 contests.

  Braun notched 24 points (7-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), eight rebounds, one block and two steals across 37 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 win over Oklahoma City. There was a lot of talk in the offseason regarding Braun and his potential impact as a starter, but he's been a pleasant surprise for the Nuggets thus far. The third-year guard posted his best scoring mark of the season Wednesday and has surpassed the 15-point plateau in three straight contests. He's averaging 18.0 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, while shooting 50 percent from three-point range, since the beginning of November.

  Braun supplied 14 points (5-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), seven rebounds and two assists across 36 minutes during Friday's 119-116 loss to the Timberwolves. The third-year wing appears headed for a breakout campaign as he settles into the starting two-guard role for Denver. Braun has scored in double digits in all five games to begin the season and pulled down seven boards in three of those contests, while Friday's contest was the first in which he didn't record at least two combined steals and blocks.
