Elton Brand starting, Carl Landry to the Sixers' bench
Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Elton Brand will start at center for Tuesday's game versus the New Orleans Pelicans, sending Carl Landry back to the bench.
What It Means:
The 76ers will roll out a starting five of Ish Smith, Isaiah Canaan, Robert Covington, Jerian Grant and Brand for Tuesday's game, and while Brand will be earning the start tonight, he's not a very attractive target in most leagues with Nerlens Noel (knee) also returning to action.
This will be Brand's first start of the season, in which is he currently logging 13.1 minutes per game. He's averaging 4.7 points and 3.7 rebounds on the year. Brand ranks 77th with a -0.4 nERD.
