After playing 20 minutes off the bench in Friday’s loss to the Lakers, Landale received the starting nod on Sunday, replacing Christian Koloko. The 30-year-old center responded with his fourth double-double of the season. However, while Landale put up a solid effort on Sunday, his production still isn’t at the point where he has to be streamed, especially with Santi Aldama still available in more than half of Yahoo! leagues. As for Koloko, he played 13 minutes on Sunday, finishing with six points, two rebounds and two steals.

Landale is available after missing two games with a strained right calf. His return means fewer minutes for Christian Koloko, who could fall out of the rotation entirely. Also, with Landale available, two-way contract player Olivier-Maxence Prosper is inactive.

Landale has missed Memphis’ last two games with a strained right calf, opening up rotation minutes for Christian Koloko. While the playing time has been there, Koloko’s production has not been good enough to merit streaming. If Santi Aldama isn’t available on the waiver wire, fantasy managers should look to other teams for frontcourt help.

Not long after he was downgraded to doubtful, Landale has been ruled out for Sunday’s game. His continued absence means that Christian Koloko will play rotation minutes off the bench, but he is not worth streaming.

Initially questionable for Sunday’s game, Landale is trending toward not being available due to a sore right calf. If he’s unable to play, Christian Koloko will remain in the Grizzlies’ rotation. He played 28 minutes in Friday’s win over the Bucks, but Koloko was not productive enough to merit streaming.

Landale did not play in Friday’s win over the Bucks, which led to Christian Koloko playing 28 minutes off the bench. He wasn’t productive enough to merit streaming if Landale remains out, but Koloko’s playing time is worth watching due to the Grizzlies’ lack of healthy post players.

A late addition to the injury report, Landale will sit with a sore right calf. With Zach Edey (ankle) already out, Santi Aldama takes on even greater importance within the Grizzlies’ rotation. Christian Koloko may pick up additional rotation minutes after playing 10 in his first two games as a Grizzlies player on Monday and Tuesday.

Already without Zach Edey, the Grizzlies lost Brandon Clarke to a strained calf during Saturday’s loss to the Wizards. As a result, Landale will make his first start since November 12. He’s worth streaming in deep leagues, while Santi Aldama will also have added value despite coming off the bench.

With Brandon Clarke (knee) making his season debut, there may have been some concern among those who have held onto Landale. However, with Clarke under a minutes restriction, he played 30 minutes off the bench and finished with one of his best lines of the season. The double-double was the second of the season for Landale, who also recorded his third 20-point game. With Clarke’s playing time restricted and Zach Edey (ankle) unavailable, those who held onto Landale for this long might as well stick with him for a few more games.

Landale is good to go after initially being questionable with a sore left ankle. He will occupy his usual role as Zach Edey’s backup, which is not a good spot to derive fantasy value from.

Landale is dealing with a sore left ankle. While his potential absence would not significantly impact fantasy basketball, it would leave the Grizzlies down an option in the post. His minutes would likely be absorbed by the players currently in the rotation, most notably Santi Aldama. Aldama should already be rostered in most 14-team leagues and some 12-team formats as well.

Landale began the season as Memphis’ starting center due to Zach Edey’s recovery from ankle surgery. And a return to the lineup may be in the cards following Tuesday’s defeat. Edey took a shot to the head during the first quarter and did not return, leaving Landale to fill the void. The veteran center finished with the first 20/10 game of his NBA career, and the 26 points matched his career-high. With the Grizzlies being one of the few teams that play four games during Week 6, Landale will be a valuable option if Edey misses time.

Landale exited Saturday’s win over the Mavericks during the first half with a sore neck and did not return. However, he’s off the injury report for Monday’s matchup with the Denver. He’ll serve as Zach Edey’s backup, which is not a good place to be when it comes to generating tangible fantasy value.

Landale played five minutes in the first half before being shut down due to neck soreness. Shooting 3-of-6 from the field, he finished with seven points, one rebound, one assist and one three-pointer. Landale’s exit won’t affect the starting lineup, but it will further deplete the Grizzlies’ frontcourt depth. Memphis may have to stagger Zach Edey and Santi Aldama’s minutes, with Olivier-Maxence Prosper picking up additional minutes off the bench.

With Zach Edey (16/4/0/2 with one three-pointer) operating in his usual role as the starting center, Landale’s opportunities can be limited. However, he made the most of his 15 minutes on Thursday, scoring a season-high 21 points and grabbing six rebounds. This performance isn’t enough to make Landale a player worth rostering, but it’s a reminder that his fantasy ceiling is higher when Edey is unavailable.

Landale continues to provide the Grizzlies with solid production at the starting center spot. He shot efficiently and turned in another double-digit scoring performance on the heels of a 16-point game against the Lakers. Sunday marked his third time within the past seven days that he’s reached at least 14 points and had multiple three-point makes in a game. Landale appears to have some comfort in this Memphis offense, sharing the starting frontcourt alongside Jaren Jackson Jr. He has served as a nice starting center while Memphis deals with injuries.

Landale made his fourth start and set a new season-high in points during his 24 minutes of game action. His production came with a perfect shooting percentage and was highlighted by his first game of the season with multiple three-point makes. Landale provides a unique offensive skill set to the Grizzlies’ starting unit, and he’ll have a chance to put together back-to-back strong outings on Wednesday against the Suns.

After missing the entire preseason with a sprained ankle, Morant is in the starting lineup for Wednesday’s opener. Also in the lineup is Landale, who fills the void left by the injured Zach Edey (ankle). Landale doesn’t offer much fantasy upside, and managers who drafted Santi Aldama should stick with him despite his coming off the bench.

Two days after Landale was waived to make room for Clint Capela, he finds himself in a potentially rewarding situation in Memphis. Jaren Jackson Jr. (toe) is expected to be sidelined for most of the summer, which could delay his availability to start the year, while Zach Edey (ankle) is expected to miss the start of next season. Memphis also just sent Jay Huff to Indiana, so Landale could play a significant role early on. However, that statistical success will likely be short-lived.

Landale’s contract included a guarantee date of July 7. The 29-year-old center had no rotation spot on the Rockets roster any longer with the team re-signing Steven Adams and bringing in Clint Capela. Landale is expected to sign with his preferred destination, according to Charania, though it’s unclear where he’s headed to just yet.

Landale has only seen action in one game this series, playing five minutes in the Rockets’ blowout victory in Game 5. The knee contusion sidelined him for the first three games, and Landale did not play in Game 4 despite being cleared. His return to the sidelines will not impact the Rockets’ rotation as they look to extend the series to a decisive Game 7.

Landale is on track to be available after missing the first three games with a right knee contusion. However, while he can provide depth, the Rockets may stick with Steven Adams as Alperen Sengun’s primary backup. Don’t expect too much from Landale if he’s able to play.

Landale finished with six points and three rebounds in 21 minutes while making a spot start for Alperen Sengun Monday against the Thunder. The 29-year-old center is questionable for Tuesday’s game, but with Sengun off the injury report Landale has no fantasy value regardless of his availability.

With Alperen Sengun sidelined for Monday’s game, Landale moved into the starting lineup. To say he provided limited value would be accurate, with N’Faly Dante being more impactful despite coming off the bench. Making his NBA debut, the rookie out of Oregon finished with 10 points, nine rebounds, one assist and two blocked shots in 18 minutes. Neither Dante nor Landale will be worth holding onto for Tuesday’s game against the Pacers, as Sengun should be available.
