Brandon Bass will return to the starting lineup on Sunday for Game 4, replacing Jason Terry.
Terry was ineffective in his 35 minutes, scoring 14 points on 4-of-9 shooting to go along with two assists and two steals, so Doc Rivers will go back to Bass for a must-win Game 4. Bass played just 23.5 minutes in Game 3, scoring three points with seven rebounds. Apr 28 - 12:01 PM

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass looked sharp throughout Saturday's easy win in Orlando, scoring 14 points on 6-of-7 shooting, with five rebounds and three blocks.

Kevin Garnett's bobbing in and out of the lineup has done nothing to distract Bass, who has double-digit points in his past seven games and continues to knock down a terrific amount of his field goals (56.7 percent in April) and free throws (83.3 percent). Throw in 6.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game, and Bass has become a must-start fantasy big man.

Brandon Bass scored 17 points with nine rebounds on Friday against the Heat.

Bass hit 6-of-9 shots and all five of his freebies but he did not have a steal or block, which isn't all that unusual. He's been a solid source of points and rebounds lately, making him well worth owning in standard formats.

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass looked good as the Celtics' starting PF, finishing Sunday's victory with a team-high 20 points on 9-of-12 shooting, six rebounds, one steal, one block and zero turnovers.

Doc Rivers is comfortable starting a big lineup with KG at center, Bass at PF, Jeff Green at SF and Paul Pierce at SG, which makes Bass a borderline must-own fantasy player. He's averaging 16.0 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.8 blocks in the past four games, though his roto value is tempered by a dearth of assists and steals (one steal in the past eight games combined).

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass was solid against the Cavs on Friday, scoring 14 points with seven boards, one assist and two blocks in 39 minutes.

He shot 7-of-14 from the field and missed his only free throw attempt. Bass has been an adept free throw shooter all year, ranking 13th in the league at 85.7 percent. He's been one of the best big men in fantasy leagues since Kevin Garnett went down, but KG could be back Sunday. Bass' value will take a hit, but his owners shouldn't cut him until KG proves to be healthy.

Doc Rivers praised Brandon Bass for his defensive improvement.

Bass, who has averaged 12.3 points, six rebounds and 1.6 blocks since Kevin Garnett went down, has been more vocal on the defensive end. "Wow, that's really new," Rivers said. For his part, Bass said it's "kind of becoming second nature," which will make his coach happy. When Garnett returns, Bass' fantasy value is slated to take a major hit with Jeff Green playing too well to take off the floor right now.

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass was quiet as the Celtics went small on Sunday, scoring two points with four rebounds and one block in 22 minutes.

Though disappointing, owners shouldn't panic and cut Bass. In the past eight games he is averaging 10.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 blocks with stellar percentages from the field (57.6 percent) and the FT line (95.0 percent).

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass scored 13 points on 5-of-7 shooting with two rebounds and three blocks in 30 minutes on Friday against the Hawks.

If not for the three blocks it was the type of outing that could get Bass pitched to the wire, and overall he's still just a desperation play at the forward position.
Mar 29 - 11:02 PM
Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass had 22 point and five rebounds on 8-of-14 shooting in 37 minutes of Wednesday's close win over the Cavaliers.

Bass is officially relevant now and hit 6-of-7 free throws tonight. Some more boards and a few blocks would have been nice, but he came in averaging 10 points, seven boards and 1.2 blocks over his previous five games.
Mar 27 - 11:26 PM
Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass had 11 points, seven rebounds and three blocks in Tuesday's ugly loss to the Knicks.

He's starting, getting heavy minutes with Kevin Garnett out indefinitely, and has played well in eight straight games. If you're desperate for a big man in today's injury climate, Bass might be serviceable enough to use in your league.
Mar 26 - 10:20 PM
Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass double-doubled with 16 points and 11 boards, adding three assists, one steal and one block in 34 minutes against the Mavericks on Friday.

It could have been a nice performance because it came against his former team, but there's some weight that should come with this outing. Bass is coming off an 11-point, 31- minute game on Wednesday and is worth a look in deeper leagues. Paul Pierce was solid with 16 points, five boards, three assists, one steal and two 3-pointers in 35 minutes while Kevin Garnett was up to the task as well, scoring 16 points with 12 boards, five assists, one steal and one block in 29 minutes.

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass had 10 points, seven boards, two steals and a block on 4-of-6 shooting in 24 minutes on Tuesday.

He had six points and 13 boards in his previous games and appears to be coming on. He also recently said that he understands the need to be more consistent, and tonight was a good step forward in that regard. The Celtics play four games per week in each of the next three starting on Monday, and might be a sneaky add in deeper leagues if he can keep it going.

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass recognizes the need for him to be consistent.

"I've got to be better, as far as being consistent, as far as defending and rebounding," he said. Bass had 13 rebounds against the Thunder, and the Celtics need him to be effective with their lack of big men behind Kevin Garnett. Since the All-Star break, Bass is averaging 7.5 points and 5.4 rebounds on 47.8 percent shooting as opposed to prior to the break when he averaged 7.6 points and 5.0 rebounds on 45.1 percent shooting.

Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass grabbed 13 boards in Sunday's 91-79 loss to the Thunder, adding six points, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 32 minutes.

Bass hadn't cracked 27 minutes in any of his previous four games and failed to go over eight points or boards in that stretch. The two blocks are a bit of an anomaly and he's not quite worth owning in standard leagues.
Mar 10 - 4:08 PM
Brandon Bass - F - Celtics

Brandon Bass scored eight points with two rebounds and one block in 23 minutes on Friday.

Bass hit 4-of-6 shots and owners should have long moved on in 12-14 team formats.
