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.

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.

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.

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.
