Nuggets' Christian Braun: Hits new career-high scoring mark
Rotowire
Braun registered 30 points (12-16 FG, 3-3 3Pt, 3-3 FT), eight rebounds and four assists over 39 minutes during Sunday's 125-120 loss to the Pacers.
Braun not only established a new career-high scoring mark, but he did it efficiently, missing just four of his 16 shots from the floor. The guard, who has established himself as a regular starter this season, also ended two boards shy of recording a double-double. Braun has eclipsed the 15-point mark in six games in a row, a span in which he's averaging 19.5 points, 7.7 rebounds, 3.8 assists and 1.5 steals per contest.

Nuggets' Christian Braun: Logs 16 points in return to action
Rotowire
Braun totaled 16 points (7-12 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 0-1 FT), seven rebounds, four assists and two steals in 38 minutes during Friday's 118-104 loss to Golden State.
The Nuggets juggled their lineup with Jamal Murray (hamstring) sidelined, employing Braun to play the point instead of Russell Westbrook, who started the game on the bench. It's a slightly unfamiliar spot for Braun, who played the off-guard position through his college career and has succeeded in that role with Denver. He'll return to his usual spot when Murray returns.
