Christian Braun has averaged a terrific 20.1 minutes per game this year, quite a bit higher than his 15.0 minutes per game last year.The Nuggets have been the 5th-best offensive rebounding offense in the league over the last 10 games (offensive rebounds maintain possession and can therefore lead to added chances for scoring and assists).This year when they are at home, opposing squads have come down with 9.7 offensive rebounds per game (6th-lowest in the league) vs. the Warriors (turning over possessions that could otherwise create additional opportunities for offense).Christian Braun will have the benefit of the home court advantage in this game. Playing with the home court advantage tends to boost player performance in all facets of the game.
