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) is tagged as probable for Monday's contest against the Golden State Warriors. He continues to deal with inflammation in his left foot, but this hasn't yet kept Braun out of the lineup. His only absence this season came on Dec. 16. The 23-year-old has had a few quiet outings lately, but his overall numbers remain strong. Over eight March appearances, Braun has averaged 16.8 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 1.3 steals. On Monday, Braun might be called upon to do even more, as Denver leaders Nikola Jokic (elbow, ankle) and Jamal Murray (ankle) could miss the action.

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.

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.
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 Christian Braun (quad) is available ahead of Friday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers. Braun hasn't missed a game this season and that streak will continue to live on. He has been playing big minutes for the Nuggets this season as he's averaging over 35 minutes per game. He's not an elite contributor in any category, but does a little of everything. Fantasy managers who have Braun rostered can get him in their lineups ahead of tip-off.
