Quiet showing in loss
Braun recorded six points (3-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds and two assists in 38 minutes during Thursday's 137-131 overtime loss to Golden State.
Analysis
This was a very quiet game by Braun's standards, but his fantasy managers can chalk this up to an off night. Braun saw a ton of minutes in this one, but he took a back seat on offense while Aaron Gordon erupted for 50 points. During the 2024-25 regular season, Braun was a top-60 player in nine-category leagues for his ability to chip in across the board.

Landing five-year extension
Braun (rest) agreed to a five-year, $125 million rookie contract extension with the Nuggets on Monday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
Analysis
The Nuggets have rewarded Braun following a breakout 2024-25 campaign, during which he averaged 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals in 33.9 minutes per game while shooting 58.0 percent from the field and 39.7 percent from deep over 79 regular-season games (77 starts). The swingman is all set to reprise his role as Denver's starting shooting guard in 2025-26, and he should see his fair share of open looks while playing alongside stars Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray.
