Modest effort Friday
Braun racked up 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists over 33 minutes during Friday's 121-115 victory over the Raptors.
Analysis
Braun was unable to keep his foot on the gas, providing modest scoring numbers while contributing nothing on the defensive end. With that said, Braun had been playing well prior to this performance and has been a top-50 talent in seven games over the past two weeks, averaging 15.0 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.9 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.4 three-pointers.

Scores season-high 26 points
Braun totaled 26 points (11-19 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds, five assists and four steals over 41 minutes during Wednesday's 125-118 loss to the Grizzlies.
Analysis
Braun stepped up in a game where the Nuggets' go-to scoring options, Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, weren't as sharp as they usually are. Braun has missed considerable time due to injury this season but has been healthy of late, averaging 14.2 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game since the beginning of March. He's scored at least 19 points in three of his last five outings, including 20-plus points in the last two.

Drops game-high 22 in win
Braun totaled a game-high 22 points (7-9 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), five rebounds, three assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Tuesday's 124-96 win over Philadelphia.
Analysis
The Nuggets didn't face much of a challenge on their home court from a shorthanded Sixers lineup, and Braun's 27 minutes led the starting five as Denver emptied the bench in the second half. It was Braun's best scoring effort in March, and through nine games this month, the fourth-year guard is averaging 12.9 points, 5.4 boards, 3.0 assists and 1.2 threes while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor.
