MINNESOTA TIMBERWOLVES VS. DENVER NUGGETS Prediction
Christian Braun has been great so far in this series except for Game 6, where he shot 1-for-6 from the field and finished with just five PRs. He has seen great minutes and I think he should be good for another game with close to 20 minutes with potential for more.
Braun played just 18 minutes in the Game 6 blowout, but prior to that, he played 28 and 25 minutes and has recorded 15 and 14 points + rebounds. He has covered this line in four of five games with 18+ minutes this series, and Coach Malone really trusts him. He’s been cutting into Michael Porter Jr.’s minutes as he's closed a few games this series, likely due to his defense and rebounding, so he should get plenty of opportunity here.
He has guarded Anthony Edwards as well as anyone on the Nuggets this series, and I’d expect we see around 20-28 minutes from him in Game 7. When Braun plays 18+ minutes, he has 8+ points + rebounds in 85% of games this season.
