Description: Dallas forward Elton Brand (sore right calf) is expected to be in uniform Wednesday versus the Suns, according to Earl K. Sneed of Mavs.com. | Insight: It's not clear if Brand, who has missed three straight games, will play.

He had 12 points, 14 boards and three blocks in 25 minutes Tuesday against Milwaukee. | Insight: Brand hasn't been starting but he usually ends up playing more minutes than any other center on the Mavericks.

SOURCE: ESPN Dallas | Insight: Brand has been putting up 11.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game in 25 minutes off the bench over the last nine games. Kaman, meanwhile, has only played 21 mpg in that same span, averaging 9.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 0.8 blocks. | | |

Description: Mavericks power forward Elton Brand has scored 10 or more points in five straight games, including 14 on Sunday against the Magic. | Insight: Brand is averaging 11.1 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.8 blocks over his last nine games. He's worth an add as a short-term big man option. | | |

Description: Mavericks power forward Elton Brand is out for Friday's game against Memphis because of a right groin strain. | Insight: Brand's 6.8 ppg and 42.9 field goal percentage are both career lows. Even when he's healthy, Brand's production doesn't justify a spot on any fantasy rosters. | | |

Description: Dallas forward Elton Brand is questionable for Friday's game against Memphis because of a groin injury. | Insight: Brand's 1.3 blocks per game are nice but his 6.8 ppg and 6.3 rpg make him a non-factor in fantasy leagues. | | |

Description: Dallas forward Elton Brand only played 19 minutes off the bench Tuesday against his former team Philadelphia but he made them count, scoring a season-high 17 points on 5-of-10 shooting with eight rebounds. | Insight: Brand has only scored in double figures two other times this season. This was likely nothing more than a case of vengeance against his ex-team. | | |

Description: The Mavericks have acquired forward Elton Brand off of waivers. Brand was waived by the 76ers earlier in the offseason using the team's amnesty clause. | Insight: Dallas started the offseason by losing guards Jason Kidd (6.2 ppg, 5.5 apg) and Jason Terry (15.1 ppg) to New York and Boston respectively and also failed to lure hometown favorite Deron Williams (21 ppg, 8.7 apg) away from Brooklyn. Since then however, they've traded for Darren Collison (10.4 ppg, 4.8 apg), signed veteran center Chris Kaman (13.1 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 1.6 bpg) to a new deal and now they've landed Brand (11 ppg, 7.2 rpg, 1.6 bpg) via waivers. Things might not be so bad in Big D next season after all. | | |

Brand led the 76ers in scoring with 19 points on 8-13 shooting. | Insight: Amazingly, Brand scored more points in this game than he did in the first four games of the series combined (17 points). He'll need to stay aggressive in Game 6 if the 76ers hope to force a Game 7. | | |
| 5/14/2012 11:41:00 AM |
Description: Philadelphia forward Elton Brand is probable for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals Monday against Boston with neck spasms. | Insight: Brand averaged 11 ppg and 7.2 rpg in the regular season, but has been pretty much invisible in the playoffs averaging just 7.4 ppg and 4.9 rpg in 30 minutes of action. Hopefully, you have other options. | | |
