Mediocre in blowout loss
Braun finished Friday's 142-103 loss to the Knicks with seven points (2-7 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds and five assists.
The Scoop: Braun notably logged 31 minutes Friday despite sitting out the entire fourth quarter of the blowout loss. He has been a total ironman for the Nuggets since returning from an ankle injury Feb. 3, having played and started in 14 straight games. During that stretch, he has averaged 34.4 minutes per game, serving as a durable fixture for a rotation dealing with various frontcourt absences. While his overall production has been somewhat mediocre -- he's averaging 12.1 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.4 assists per contest -- his availability remains vital for Denver's depth.
