Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Logs double-double in spot start
Rotowire
Landale accumulated 13 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists across 29 minutes during Sunday's 120-114 loss to the Lakers.
Landale slid into the first unit Sunday night, which was a precautionary measure for Santi Aldama's potential absence. Aldama was able to log a full game, but Landale took advantage of his opportunity and recorded his fourth double-double of the season. Landale has been a reliable replacement during the team's smattering of frontcourt injuries, and he'll continue to take on a featured role with Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) on the sidelines.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Limited in return
Rotowire
Landale closed Tuesday's 139-136 overtime loss to the 76ers with six points (3-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one block in 18 minutes.
Landale returned after missing the past two games due to a calf injury, logging 18 minutes. Christian Koloko was given the starting nod, although he may give that up once Landale is fully recovered. While this wasn't his best performance, Landale remains a fringe option in standard formats, assuming he pushes back to 25 minutes per game.

Rotowire
Landale (calf) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Landale will shed his questionable tag and return from a two-game absence due to a right calf strain. With the big man back in action, Christian Koloko may see a dip in minutes. Across nine appearances (one start) in December, Landale has averaged 11.2 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists in 23.1 minutes per contest.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Questionable to play Tuesday
Rotowire
Landale (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Landale has missed the Grizzlies' last two games due to a right calf injury, but the questionable tag leaves the door open for his potential return Tuesday. Even if he's given the green light to play, Landale isn't expected to play a big role in the Grizzlies' frontcourt. If Landale is unable to play, Christian Koloko should see an expanded role off the bench.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Won't start Tuesday
Rotowire
Landale won't start against the Jazz on Tuesday.
Landale got the starting nod in Monday's loss to the Thunder but will come off the bench in favor of Santi Aldama on Tuesday. Landale has averaged 11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals across 25.8 minutes per game in his last five outings off the bench.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Double-doubles in start
Rotowire
Landale closed with 11 points (4-9 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), 10 rebounds and three assists in 26 minutes during Monday's 119-103 loss to the Thunder.
With Zach Edey (ankle) and Brandon Clarke (calf) sidelined, Landale got the starting nod for the first time since Nov. 12. The Australian big man was productive on the glass against a banged-up Thunder frontcourt, recording a game-high-tying 10 rebounds en route to his second double-double over his last three appearances. Landale should have a clear path to significant playing time for the foreseeable future, with both Edey and Clarke expected to miss an extended period.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Scores eight off bench in win
Rotowire
Landale racked up eight points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 27 minutes during Monday's 121-103 win over the Clippers.
Landale was a regular starter when Zach Edey (ankle) was sidelined to begin the season, but this time around, Santi Aldama is getting a shot with the first five. Regardless, Landale has begun to see an increased role again, playing at least 20 minutes in his last three appearances. Landale should get to see plenty of opportunities at center until Edey is cleared to suit up again.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Garnering larger role sans Edey
Rotowire
Landale totaled eight points (3-7 FG, 2-4 3Pt), nine rebounds, one assist and one block in 27 minutes during Friday's 130-126 loss to the Jazz.
With Zach Edey sidelined to begin the season following left ankle surgery, Landale started the first 13 games at center, averaging 10.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.1 combined steals-plus-blocks a night while shooting 56.8 percent from the field during that stretch. Edey left last week's game against Portland after suffering a stress reaction in his left ankle, and Landale went on to post 15 points, eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes during a 119-96 win. With Edey expected to miss at least a month, it was safe to assume that Landale would reclaim a starting spot, but Memphis opted to start Jaren Jackson and Santi Aldama in the frontcourt Friday, leaving Landale to come off the bench. Despite operating as a reserve, Landale played at least 27 minutes for only the fifth time this season. Whether he's a regular starter in Edey's absence or not, Landale should have a sizable role within the rotation and should be back on fantasy radars.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Near double-double in win
Rotowire
Landale ended Sunday's 119-96 win over the Trail Blazers with 15 points (4-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 7-10 FT), eight rebounds, two assists and two steals in 21 minutes.
Landale had an impressive game Sunday, including getting to the free-throw line a season-high 10 times. While he will continue to back up Zach Edey at center, Landale has shown that he is capable of turning in impressive performances if given the opportunity and would be a must-add if Edey were to miss any time moving forward.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Questionable for Tuesday
Rotowire
Landale is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Spurs due to left ankle soreness.
Landale hasn't missed a game yet this season, but we'll have a better idea on his status based on his activity level at Tuesday's shootaround. If he's unable to give it a go, that would open up some more minutes for Santi Aldama, while GG Jackson would have the opportunity to get into the rotation.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Ties career high in loss
Rotowire
Landale logged 26 points (10-18 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds and two assists in 31 minutes during Monday's 125-115 loss to the Nuggets.
With Zach Edey (head) exiting the contest after playing just six minutes, Landale saw a significant uptick in playing time, logging a season high in minutes. The fifth-year center made the most of his minutes, tying his career-high mark in points and draining three triples for the second time on the campaign. He also led the Grizzlies in rebounds, securing his first double-double since Feb. 9 with the Rockets. Landale could step into a starting role in Wednesday's game against the Pelicans if Edey is forced to miss additional time.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Grabs eight boards in loss
Rotowire
Landale finished Tuesday's 133-120 loss to the Knicks with eight points (4-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one block in 26 minutes.
Landale continues to serve as the starting center in Memphis, a role he will likely give up once Zach Edey returns from his foot injury. Despite a clear lack of upside, Landale has done a commendable job, averaging 10.7 points and 5.4 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game thus far. Those in standard leagues could do worse when looking for a serviceable center, although streaming his position could also be a viable option.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Fills stat sheet in loss
Rotowire
Landale supplied 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-4 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 21 minutes during Wednesday's 124-109 loss to Houston.
Landale continues to put up solid numbers while starting at center due to the absence of Zach Edey (ankle), and this was his fourth straight contest with double-digit points. The big man is averaging 13.5 points per outing in that four-game stretch, and although he'll return to the bench once Edey is ready to return to the lineup, Landale is delivering a decent return to managers who trusted him as a reliable waiver option to start the campaign.

Grizzlies' Jock Landale: Ties team high in rebounds
Rotowire
Landale notched eight points (3-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), eight rebounds and one assist in 26 minutes during Saturday's 128-103 victory over the Pacers.
Landale started his third consecutive game for the Grizzlies en route to grabbing a season-high eight rebounds. The 30-year-old veteran tied Santi Aldama to lead Memphis in rebounding, and it seems like the starting center job is his to lose as long as Zach Edey (ankle) remains sidelined.
