Nuggets' Trevon Brazile: Goes for 17-and-9 in overtime win
Rotowire
Brazile notched 17 points (6-11 FG, 3-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 28 minutes during Saturday's 141-135 overtime win over the Pelicans.
Brazile fell one rebound short of his first career double-double, playing a key role for Denver down the stretch. He continues to impress with his energy on both ends of the floor and may have just put himself on the radar in standard fantasy leagues. With Cameron Johnson (ankle) set to miss time, it appears as though Brazile is going to be utilized as a sixth-man option. Keeping in mind that he is a rookie, expect to see fluctuations in his production. With that said, the upside is intriguing, and his ability to rebound the basketball makes him a viable stream consideration.

Nuggets' Trevon Brazile: Makes preseason debut
Rotowire
Brazile (undisclosed) recorded seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Brazile missed the final game of Summer League for undisclosed reasons, but he was able to suit up for the preseason opener. Brazile showed flashes of upside in Sunday's loss, connecting on a three-pointer and adding two blocks. The Arkansas product brings a unique skill set to Denver and could work his way into playing time if he continues to connect on jump shots, given his clear athletic tools and motor.
