This postseason, Braun has more than doubled his points (5.1) and rebounding (2.7) averages from last year's playoffs.

Nuggets coach David Adelman has given Braun more playing time and confidence. Under Michael Malone, he averaged 17.0 minutes, but under Adelman, he's playing 39.3 minutes a game.

Sunday's winner will move on to the Western Conference finals to face the Minnesota Timberwolves.
