Analysis:

This was just Brand's second double-double of the season, and the most minutes he's played since the beginning of the month. He started in place of Pero Antic who was out with an ankle injury. Antic sat out six weeks earlier this year with a stress fracture in the same ankle but it's unknown if he will miss any future games as well. If he does, expect Brand to continue seeing increased production.
