Brand will get the start at center Saturday in place of the injured Al Horford, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

With Horford (shoulder) out for the season, Brand should be in line for increased playing time the rest of the way. He should be a solid source of rebounds and blocks, but his 9.1 points per-36 minutes this season doesn't bode well for his offensive output.
