## Resource

The Denver Nuggets are rewriting their bench lineup, with big changes looming for role players. Julian Strawther, in his contract year, could leapfrog into a bigger role as the seventh or eighth man, while Spencer Jones is set to see more minutes thanks to a strong retention move — perfect timing as the team seeks defensive upgrades. Meanwhile, Christian Braun’s playing time may be trimmed after a tough injury-plagued season, forcing the Nuggets to decide whether to give him another shot or prioritize more consistent contributors.
