The 36 minutes look real, but the steals and threes far outpace 2025‑26, so expect some regression toward mid-round value.

Braun (calf/illness) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against Houston.
Braun is under the weather and also dealing with a left calf contusion. Nikola Jokic (elbow), Jamal Murray (shin), Aaron Gordon (lower body), Cameron Johnson (lower body) and DeMar DeRozan (back) are all listed as questionable as well, so the Nuggets could be shorthanded Monday. If Braun is ruled out, Spencer Jones, Cam Whitmore and Bryce Hopkins would be candidates for increased minutes.
Braun finished with six points (2-8 FG, 0-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, one assist and one steal across 29 minutes during Saturday's 114-102 victory over the Pacers.
Braun turned in his worst performance of the season, scoring a season-low six points. While it has been a strong start for Braun, the return of Spencer Jones is likely going to impact his opportunities, at least to some degree. Braun should remain a permanent starter, but playing in excess of 30 minutes every night could be a stretch.
Braun finished with 14 points (4-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), three rebounds, three assists and two steals across 36 minutes in Monday's 118-110 loss to the Trail Blazers.
Braun delivered efficient scoring while continuing to impact the game defensively, as this was his fifth straight outing with at least two steals. His 36-minute workload reinforced his established role in Denver's starting lineup, although his limited rebounding and playmaking restrict his overall ceiling. Braun's steady playing time and defensive contributions support his fantasy relevance, particularly in category-based formats, even when scoring isn't his strongest suit. That said, he has scored at least 14 points in four of his last five games, so he's putting up consistent numbers in that regard as well.
Braun registered 31 points (11-16 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, one assist and three steals in 37 minutes during Friday's 127-120 win over the Suns.
Braun was on fire in the win, hitting seven of his nine three-point attempts, including all six in the first half. The wing gave Denver a huge second scoring punch alongside Jamal Murray, who had 39, as the Nuggets knocked down 20 threes as a team. Performances like this make Braun an essential part of the starting five, and he'll look to stay hot Monday at home against Portland.
Braun tallied 15 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt), four assists, three steals and a block across 36 minutes in Wednesday's 104-91 win over the Pelicans.
Braun matched his previous season-high scoring mark and delivered multiple steals for the third straight game. The main issue with Braun early in the season has been a lack of consistency. He's failed to hit double-digit points in two of his four games, and while he had a strong defensive outing in this one, he also failed to record a single rebound. His playing time and steady role as a starter will give him a decent floor, but the lack of consistency hurts his upside.
