He also knocked down nine of his 10 free throw attempts. | Insight: Bass was a monster on the offensive side of the ball Monday, hitting jumpers, going to the hole for easy dunks and hitting nearly all of his free throws when he was fouled.

Description: Brandon Bass tweaked his knee Saturday in a win over the Nets just a few days after hyperextending it in a game against the Hawks. | Insight: Bass still managed a double-double Saturday (18 points, 11 rebounds) so the injury doesn't seem to be affecting his play too badly.

It was Bass's first 20 point, 10 rebound game since the season opener on Christmas day. Players hyperextend their knees all the time so this injury shouldn't affect Bass too much going forward. | | |

Description: Brandon Bass did not build off his prior gem by only registering five points on 2-of-11 shooting, five boards, and three blocks in 38 minutes. | Insight: At least he got three blocks to not make the game a total waste.

Description: Bass went off for 22 points Monday night on 9-of-10 shooting. | Insight: The Magic forward doubled his season scoring average while playing about 10 minutes more than his average.

Description: Brandon Bass got some extra burn and turned in a nice line of 15 points, 11 boards, two steals, and a block in 33 minutes. | Insight: Bass is probably already owned in the leagues were he should be, but if you're in a competitive standard and need a big man, then feel free to make the move.

Description: Brandon Bass remained the the good graces of those fortunate enough to scoop him with his 21-point and nine-board game against the Celtics. | Insight: He also added a block and a steal in 37 minutes. His value is at its peak and it wouldn't be a bad idea to try and trade him. The Magic figure to trade for more depth at the four or five, which would hurt Bass. | | |
| 12/23/2010 10:53:00 PM |
Description: Brandon Bass made 8-of-11 from the field and totaled 17 points with six boards in 34 minutes. | Insight: Bass is the only other respectable big on the roster (besides Dwight), so he should get over 30 minutes on a regular basis. However, the Magic have made it clear they are in the market for another big, which would obviously hurt Bass' value. He should be owned until further notice though. | | |
