The Nuggets know that they’ll be without Christian Braun for at least six weeks, and they may be missing Cam Johnson for some time as well. In past seasons, two starters missing extended time would have been a death sentence for the Nuggets, but this year, the team has beefed up its depth, and they’re equipped to withstand these injuries.
We know this means more opportunity for bench players like Peyton Watson and Tim Hardaway Jr., who have already moved into the starting lineup. And we’re definitely going to see bigger roles for Jonas Valanciunas and Bruce Brown as well.
