Braun has been out since November 15. While his absence may not have significantly affected fantasy basketball, that was at a time when the Nuggets were close to full strength. With Nikola Jokić and Cameron Johnson out, and Aaron Gordon also questionable for Sunday, there’s a clear need for Braun’s return. While a minutes limit may be in play for his first games back, Braun will have a higher fantasy ceiling due to the absences.
