Sun Apr 12 201517:04Brand will start Sunday
Brand will start Sunday, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
The Hawks are resting all their starters Sunday, so Brand will get the start as a veteran. Even though he is starting, backup Pero Antic could end up getting more playing time than Brand in the frontcourt.

Brand is starting in the frontcourt with Paul Millsap and Al Horford getting the night off Saturday against the Hornets.
Brand should be avoided in virtually all formats. He doesn't have a consistent enough role. Even in daily games, it would be hard to trust Brand will produce enough to warrant paying even the minimum salary for him.
Mon Mar 16 201521:27Brand starting Monday's contest in Sacramento
Brand is starting Monday's contest in Sacramento, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
With Al Horford getting the night off, Brand will enter the Hawks' starting lineup for the second time this season. In the previous nod on Feb. 28 against the Heat, Brand tallied seven points (3-7 FG, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds, and two assists in 29 minutes.

Brand moved into the starting lineup Saturday and logged 29 minutes on the floor, scoring seven points and pulling down eight rebounds against Miami.
Brand made a spot start at center after Al Horford did not travel with the team for Saturday's game. Outside of situations like Saturday, where Atlanta rested several starters, Brand won't be on the floor enough to make any sort of impact from a fantasy perspective.
Sat Feb 28 201519:06Brand will get nod at center Saturday in Miami
Brand will get the nod at center Saturday in Miami, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Because coach Mike Budenholzer has opted to rest Al Horford and Pero Antic, Brand will receive the first chance at significant center reps over Mike Muscala. However, Brand has only logged time in eight of 27 games since the calendar flipped to 2015, averaging two points (on 41 percent shooting), 3.1 rebounds, and 0.8 blocks in 12 minutes.
Sat Jan 10 201502:11Brand (personal) played 10 minutes in first game back with team ...
Brand (personal) played 10 minutes in his first game back with the team following a death in the family. He grabbed two rebounds, one assist, and one block in Friday's matchup against the Hawks.
Brand is only on the radars of daily players or managers in the very deepest of leagues. For both, however, there was not much Friday's line that would give players optimism about Brand's immediate progress.
Thu Jan 8 201513:42Brand (personal) rejoined team Thursday after death in family
Brand (personal) rejoined the team Thursday after a death in the family, Chris Vivlamore of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Brand was unavailable for Wednesday's game against Memphis, but he's back with the team and should be available for Friday's matchup with red-hot Detroit. That said, Brand's minutes have been sporadic, to say the least, this season, so he's not much of a fantasy consideration.
Wed Jan 7 201523:02Brand not available for Wednesday's game due to death in family
Brand was not available for Wednesday's game due to a death in his family, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Brand has seen more minutes of late, but is still not a regular in the Hawks' rotation. It's not clear how long he will be away from the team, so it remains to be seen when he will play next.

Brand has only spent 21 minutes on the court this season as he's one of the last options off the bench.
Brand has had a fruitful career, although it doesn't seem like he's going to have much of an impact in Atlanta this season. Pero Antic is currently being awarded all the minutes off the bench at center and is the better option moving forward.
Fri Oct 31 201416:42Brand played 12 minutes in Hawks regular season opener against R...
Brand played 12 minutes in the Hawks regular season opener against the Raptors and scored two points, while grabbing one rebound.
Brand was the first big man to come off the bench for Atlanta, as they needed someone who could match up against Jonas Valanciunas. He should continue to be a key reserve behind Al Horford at the center, while also possibly playing in some reserve time at the power forward position. He probably won't score very many points this season, and could be limited in terms of fantasy value, but he'll still probably get around 10 minutes per game over the course of the next month and into the heart of the regular season.
Tue Sep 23 201415:12Brand has signed one-year
Brand has signed a one-year, $2 million contract to remain with the Hawks, Yahoo! Sports reports.
Brand played 73 games, including 15 starts, for the Hawks last season and averaged 5.7 points, 4.9 rebounds, and 1.2 blocks in 19.4 minutes. The 35-year-old former No. 1 overall pick will continue as a reserve forward for Atlanta this season, but it's clear Brand's fantasy value is at an all-time low since entering the league in 1999.
Tue Jul 1 201414:23Hawks, Knicks interested in Elton Brand
The Hawks and Knicks have both expressed interest in unrestricted free agent Elton Brand.
Brand confirmed in April that he hopes to return of his 16th NBA season, and it seems he'll get his wish with at least a few teams vying for his services. He averaged 5.7 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.2 blocks last season and will fill a niche as a backup big man, but he's no longer an appealing fantasy option at age 35.

Mon Jun 2 201411:02Elton Brand expects to play next season
Elton Brand said on Monday that he intends to play next season.
"My body feels good," Brand said. "I'm already training for next season." He is 34 years old and is coming off a fairly productive season, playing in 73 games. Brand has struggled to stay healthy for much of his career, but he'll enter free agency and could get some attention on a short-term deal.

Mon May 5 201414:36Elton Brand undecided on playing next season
Elton Brand said during his exit interview on Monday that he is undecided on whether he will play next season.
Brand, the number one overall pick in 1999, finished his 15th season in the NBA after the Hawks were eliminated from the playoffs on Saturday. He is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, and will likely have to sign for the veteran minimum if he wants to continue his career next season.

Fri Apr 11 201423:16Brand puts up defensive numbers vs. BKY
Elton Brand kept putting up defensive numbers on Friday, posting two steals and four blocks to go with four points and three boards.
Per usual, Brand did his damage in 22 minutes and regardless of Pero Antic's status he's a solid add if you're targeting big man stats.

Wed Apr 9 201423:03Elton Brand starts, posts a double-double
Elton Brand drew a start in place of Pero Antic vs. the Celtics on Wednesday, scoring 13 points with 13 boards, three assists, three steals and one block in 33 minutes.
Antic's sore ankle has been an issue before and he could be looking at missing more time. Brand's minutes had been fairly low heading into tonight, so he could be somewhat fresh for the stretch run. Nothing in certain since Antic could be back as soon as Friday, but Brand is at least worth a look for owners needing a big man.

Sat Mar 29 201422:41Elton Brand gets a DNP-CD
Elton Brand did not play on Saturday night vs. the Wizards.
He played 30 minutes on Thursday and the Hawks might have just rested him tonight. Brand is no spring chicken anymore and fantasy owners should look elsewhere now that Pero Antic is back.

Thu Mar 27 201421:55Elton Brand double-doubles vs. Blazers
Elton Brand double-doubled against the Blazers during Thursday's 100-85 loss with 11 points, 12 boards, two assists, one steal and one block in 30 minutes.
He was banging in the paint and has really done well in establishing position close to the basket. Brand used to be a guy who could beat guys from 15 feet away and he's done a nice job of adapting to his aging frame. With Pero Antic (ankle) out and day-to-day, Brand is worth a look for anyone needing a big man.

Tue Mar 11 201401:36Brand has efficient night in 19 minutes
Elton Brand scored eight points on 4-of-5 shooting with four rebounds, four assists, one steal and three blocks in just 19 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Jazz.
The Jazz are struggling badly and that partly explains the uptick in production here, but Brand needs to do something like this again to deserve consideration in 12-14 team formats.

Sun Mar 9 201401:37Elton Brand plays 18 minutes in loss
Elton Brand came off the bench for 18 minutes and had eight points, five rebounds, two assists and zero blocks in Saturday's loss to the Clippers.
Brand has been pretty fun to own with Pero Antic and Paul Millsap injured for the Hawks, but both players are back and in the starting lineup, meaning Brand's run is over. If they get hurt again, Brand will re-emerge as a fantasy factor, but if not, he's not worth holding.
