Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Questionable for Wednesday
Rotowire
Brown is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Mavericks due to right knee inflammation.
Brown is in danger of missing the second leg of Denver's back-to-back with the issue. If the swingman is unable to play Wednesday, more playing time would become available for Tim Hardaway and Spencer Jones (ankle, illness), the latter of whom is expected to suit up.

Rotowire
Brown (knee) is available for Friday's game against the Hawks.
Brown is working through right knee inflammation, but the issue won't prevent him from playing Friday. The veteran wing could enter the Nuggets' starting lineup -- or at least see more minutes off the bench -- due to the absence of Spencer Jones (ankle/illness).

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Brown will start against Philadelphia on Monday.
The Nuggets will be without all five of their Opening Night starters, giving Brown the chance to enter the starting lineup for just the second time this season. The 29-year-old guard last started in a win over Orlando on Dec. 18, during which he recorded 11 points, two rebounds and two assists across 34 minutes.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Scoreless in 18 minutes
Rotowire
Brown chipped in zero points (0-3 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal in 18 minutes during Sunday's 127-115 loss to the Nets.
With the Nuggets getting Christian Braun and Aaron Gordon back in the mix, minutes will be harder to come by for Brown. He was already just a deep-league fantasy asset while those two players were out, so his fantasy appeal could be lacking going forward.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Plays well in loss
Rotowire
Brown registered 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), five rebounds and two assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 147-123 loss to the Heat.
All eyes are on Denver and the status of Nikola Jokic after he suffered a knee injury that cut his night short. If the superstar center misses time, the Nuggets will need a handful of guys to step into larger roles, and Brown is certainly one of them for his two-way versatility. He's on the radar as a fantasy pickup depending on what news Jokic gets.

Nuggets' Bruce Brown: Serviceable again in win
Rotowire
Brown produced 15 points (7-9 FG, 1-1 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and two steals over 27 minutes during Monday's 135-112 win over the Jazz.
Brown tallied double-digit points for the third straight game, continuing to play a meaningful role off the bench. During that time, he has averaged 12.7 points, 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 steals in 29.8 minutes per game, good enough for top-80 value in standard leagues. His ability to chip in across multiple categories makes him a viable target, even more so for anyone punting points. With that said, his upside remains limited, while his value likely has a shelf life that's tied in to Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and Christian Braun (ankle) eventually returning to action.

Brown posted 12 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals across 28 minutes off the bench during Saturday's 115-101 loss to Houston.

Rotowire
Brown ended with two points (1-3 FG), nine rebounds, four assists and three steals across 27 minutes during Monday's 128-125 overtime victory over the Rockets.
Brown established a season high in boards, making a big impact defensively. The 2018 second-rounder is capable of chipping in across the board, and the absence of Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and exit of Peyton Watson (side) on Monday leaves the door open for enhanced streaming appeal. Brown has averaged 7.0 points, 3.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.2 steals in 25.1 minutes per contest in his last 12 games.

This was one of Brown's best performances in a while, but fantasy managers will want to see more consistency. Over his last seven appearances, Brown has been outside the top-200 players in standard nine-category formats with averages of 7.0 points, 3.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 0.7 steals in 24.4 minutes per contest.
