Brazile will start in Friday's preseason game against the Lakers, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.
Aaron Gordon (rest) will get the night off, so Brazile will move into the starting lineup for the Nuggets' final exhibition. The 23-year-old is coming off a big showing, amassing 22 points, two rebounds, one steal and one block over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 122-110 preseason loss to the Clippers.

Rotowire
Brazile registered 22 points (8-10 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-5 FT), four rebounds and one steal over 25 minutes in Wednesday's 122-110 preseason loss to the Clippers.
Brazile exploded off the bench, pouring in a game-high 22 points after combining for just 14 points across his previous three preseason appearances. The rookie second-round pick faces an uphill battle for a consistent role in the regular-season rotation, though performances like Wednesday's could improve his chances of earning more playing time.

Nuggets' Trevon Brazile: Makes preseason debut
Rotowire
Brazile (undisclosed) recorded seven points (3-4 FG, 1-2 3Pt), three rebounds and two blocks in 20 minutes during Sunday's 109-97 preseason loss to the Jazz.
Brazile missed the final game of Summer League for undisclosed reasons, but he was able to suit up for the preseason opener. Brazile showed flashes of upside in Sunday's loss, connecting on a three-pointer and adding two blocks. The Arkansas product brings a unique skill set to Denver and could work his way into playing time if he continues to connect on jump shots, given his clear athletic tools and motor.
