Mon Mar 31 | 21:15 | Christian Braun Listed As Probable For Meeting With Timberwolves |
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (foot) is considered probable for Tuesday's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves. This designation has recently become common for Braun as he nurses a left foot strain. Braun has made six consecutive appearances, so there is no reason to believe that he won't suit up for Tuesday's contest. A couple of games ago, Braun posted his fifth double-double of the season, and he has been impactful in all areas for the Nuggets in 2024-25. Should Braun suffer a setback and not play on Tuesday, Jalen Pickett would receive a larger role in the rotation. |

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (foot) will return to the floor on Wednesday night against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Sat Mar 15 | 20:50 | Christian Braun Available On Saturday |
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (foot) is available ahead of Saturday's game against the Washington Wizards. Braun is dealing with a minor foot issue, but it isn't a big enough issue to force him to the sideline. The 23-year-old finished with 22 points, five rebounds, and six assists across 34 minutes on action on Friday. He could take on a bigger role offensively with Aaron Gordon (calf, ankle) ruled out for this game. Regardless, fantasy managers who have Braun rostered can go ahead and get him active in their lineups on Saturday. |

Fri Mar 14 | 20:57 | Christian Braun Cleared To Face Lakers |
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (foot) will be active on Friday against the Los Angeles Lakers. He was a late addition to the injury report due to foot inflammation. However, Braun has been cleared to play, with the team upgrading his status from probable to available. Braun had a bad time in the last game on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves, recording six points on 3-for-10 shooting. Nevertheless, he has been a valuable piece for fantasy managers in 2024-25, averaging 16.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.0 steals since the All-Star break. |

Mon Dec 16 2024 | 21:12 | Christian Braun Officially Ruled Out For Monday, Will Miss First Game Of Season |
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (back) has been ruled out of Monday night's game against the Sacramento Kings. Braun is dealing with a lower back strain that he was able to play through on Friday night but wasn't able to overcome on Monday. This will be the 23-year-old's first game missed this season. In his absence, expect the Nuggets to start either Julian Strawther or Russell Westbrook. Both will be a step down defensively but bring different offensive skillsets to the table. With Sacramento generally being weaker to deep shots, Strawther may be the more viable fantasy and DFS option on Monday night. |

Mon Dec 16 2024 | 20:10 | Christian Braun Listed As Questionable Against Kings |
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun (back) is listed as questionable for Monday night's matchup against the Sacramento Kings. Braun has been dealing with a lower back strain, though he played through the pain during Friday's 120-98 victory over the Clippers. Fantasy managers should be weary of the questionable tag but given that he played through it previously, and has additional rest between games, the probability he plays should be likely. The 23-year-old has averaged 15.0 PPG and 5.0 RPG while shooting 40.3% from three, doing well to fill the void that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope left when the veteran departed for Orlando. If active, fantasy managers and DFS managers should target Braun and get him in their starting lineups. |

Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun (quadriceps) has been upgraded from probable to available ahead of tip-off against Washington on Saturday.

Braun is enjoying a fine campaign with averages of 15.4 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.3 steals. |

Thu Oct 3 2024 | 16:22 | Christian Braun Seen Working With Starters |
Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun was seen playing with the starting unit during Thursday's practice. It looks like Braun is the favorite for the starting shooting guard spot heading into training camp. Braun is coming off a decent year last season as he averaged 7.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 1.6 assists across 20.2 minutes per game in 82 contests. He figures to compete with Julian Strawther for the starting shooting guard spot to begin the season. Whoever wins the gig should see a boost in fantasy value while playing with the starting five. Braun is heading into his third season with the Nuggets and has taken a step forward in each of the last two seasons. |

Denver Nuggets guard Christian Braun will move into the starting five ahead of Saturday's game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The 22-year-old will be the lone change to the starting five on Saturday. Fellow guard Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (personal) will sit this game out which will give Braun an expanded role. Despite the extra minutes, Braun isn't an ideal streaming option for Saturday's slate. He hasn't been able to do much on the court lately with five points or less in three of his last four games. |

Tue Feb 20 2024 | 05:50 | Christian Braun Confident Of Playing Better After Break |
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun hopes to get healthy over the All-Star break, which would then allow him to produce better performances. The 22-year-old was expected to make a big step up in 2023-24, but he hasn't gained any momentum due to health issues holding him back. While averaging 19.0 minutes off the bench, Braun has put up 7.0 points with 3.5 rebounds. "I don't want to sit here and make any excuses, but it hasn't been great," Braun told Sean Keeler of The Denver Post. "(It's been) one thing after another. But I feel all right I think this break for me, personally, will be great for my body. I think that's the biggest thing for me right now, is getting my body back. (It) hasn't felt great all year." |

Thu Oct 5 2023 | 19:22 | Christian Braun Expected To Play Bigger Role |
Denver Nuggets guard/forward Christian Braun could see himself with a bigger role on the team next season. It sounds like the organization believes Braun could be a critical piece to this rotation. The team praised his defensive toughness and fundamentals during the postseason. The 22-year-old is expected to have more minutes coming his way with the departure of Bruce Brown. Last season, Braun averaged 4.7 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.8 assists in 15.5 minutes per game across 76 games with the Nuggets. He won't be someone that will fly off draft boards in fantasy leagues. However, Braun is someone worth keeping an eye on as the season begins. |
