Fantasy Analysis
Bass's injury is not being considered serious and he will attempt to play through it moving forward. However, that doesn't mean he will be able to remain in the lineup on a nightly basis, so owners will have to keep an eye on his status moving forward. Bass has turned in his most productive season as a pro to date, so leave him active in all formats as long as he can stay in the lineup. (Updated 04/13/2012).

05/08/2012 22:49 Horford helps Hawks hold on, force series back to Boston for Game 6
Al Horford scored 19 points in his first start since January, and the Atlanta Hawks held on for an 87-86 victory over the Boston Celtics in a thrilling Game 5 of the Eastern Conference playoffs Tuesday night.
After turning in his most productive season in the NBA, F Brandon Bass could improve on those numbers this year with Boston. Bass, who was dealt to the Celtics from Orlando in exchange for F Glen Davis, finished with career highs in points (11.2) and rebounds (5.6) last season. The 26-year-old logged nearly 2,000 minutes with the Magic last season while earning 51 starts. He will start on the bench again this year but with the injury risk carried by F Kevin Garnett and C Jermaine O'Neal, Bass has another opportunity to receive several starts. He recorded three double-doubles last season and that total could increase with his pairing of assist artist Rajon Rondo. Consider Bass a solid Fantasy reserve with modest sleeper appeal worthy of spending a late-round pick on in most head-to-head formats. (Updated 12/16/11)
