Brandon Bass expected to step in as starter
Brandon Bass - F - Boston Celtics
Feb. 1, 2013 - 4:20 PM ET

Comcast New England expects Brandon Bass to start at power forward with Jared Sullinger (back) done for the season.

In 33 starts before losing his job to Sullinger, Bass averaged 7.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 0.7 blocks per game. And even during his breakout campaign last season, Bass managed just 12.5 points, 6.2 boards and 0.9 blocks. In other words, there's not a ton of upside here. Even though Jeff Green figures to stick in a bench role, at least he has a slightly more roto-friendly game thanks to his 3-point ability. Look for Green to now push for something closer to 27-29 minutes nightly.
