Brand will get the nod at center Wednesday against the Wizards, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Analysis:

Brand is the sole option down low due to the shoulder injury that Gustavo Ayon suffered Tuesday. Nevertheless, in three starting nods this season, Brand has averaged a measly 4.7 points (on 50 percent shooting) and 2.3 rebounds in 15.3 minutes.
