Analysis:

In five games since being relegated back to the bench due to the return of Pero Antic to the starting lineup, Brand has managed to maintain a solid level of performance for the Hawks. Over this recent stretch, the 35-year-old veteran has averaged 5.8 points, 5.4 boards and 1.6 blocks while shooting an impressive 61.9 percent from the floor. Brand's playing time should remain around 20 minutes per contest the rest of the way, keeping him a decent source of rebounds and blocks for those in deeper formats.
