Jock Landale News, Rumors, Updates - Houston Rockets | FOX Sports

Sees garbage-time run in rout Landale posted six points (3-4 FG), five rebounds and one steal over 23 minutes during Friday's 133-96 win over Dallas.

Impact Landale saw some extra playing time while playing the entire fourth quarter during Friday's easy win, but it was still just a pedestrian performance off the bench. Over his last eight appearances, Landale has averaged a mere 3.0 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.4 assists in 11.1 minutes. The 29-year-old big man should continue carrying minimal fantasy appeal as long as Alperen Sengun is healthy.

Good to go Tuesday Landale (knee) is available for Tuesday's game versus the Pacers, Dustin Dopirak of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Landale has been upgraded from questionable to available Tuesday despite dealing with left knee soreness. With Alperen Sengun (back) set to return to action against Indiana, Landale should return to his backup center role.

Iffy for Tuesday Landale is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Pacers with left knee soreness.

Impact Landale drew a start Monday against the Thunder, finishing with six points, three rebounds and one assist in 21 minutes. The Rockets will be getting a healthy Alperen Sengun back in the lineup Tuesday, however, along with several others.

Drawing first start of season Landale is starting Monday's game against the Thunder, Lachard Binkley of SI.com reports.

Impact Landale is in line for his first start of the 2024-25 campaign while Alperen Sengun sits with a back injury. Landale is averaging only 10.5 minutes through 30 games with the Rockets this year but should be in line for a significant uptick in playing time Monday.

Misses out on double-double Landale closed with 13 points (6-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), eight rebounds, one assist and one steal in 16 minutes during Thursday's 105-98 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Despite Steven Adams playing Thursday, Landale was able to secure the majority of Houston's backup center minutes against Golden State. Although Landale continues to receive inconsistent playing time, he has scored double-digit points in each of his last three outings.

First double-double of season Landale provided 11 points (4-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-3 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block over 24 minutes during Sunday's 94-87 victory over Toronto.

Impact It was the first double-double of the season for Landale, who stepped up to tie a team high with 10 rebounds off Houston's bench. The 29-year-old big man also set a new season high with 24 minutes Sunday, which is worth noting after Alperen Sengun left the game with a back injury. Landale's role with the Rockets has been inconsistent this year, but he could be in line for an expanded role if Sengun and Steven Adams (ankle) are out for Wednesday's tilt against Phoenix.

Good to go against Brooklyn Landale (illness) is available for Tuesday's game against the Nets, Danielle Lerner of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact An illness prevented Landale from playing in Monday's 124-118 loss to the Knicks, but the fourth-year center has been cleared to play in Tuesday's bout. He played in the Rockets' three games prior to Monday's absence and averaged 4.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 2.0 assists over 13.3 minutes per contest over that span.

Iffy for Tuesday Landale (illness) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Nets.

Impact Landale has a chance to suit up Tuesday after missing the first half of Houston's back-to-back set Monday. However, Alperen Sengun (calf) is expected to return following a three-game absence, so even if Landale is cleared to suit up, he'll handle a small backup role.

Out with illness Landale (illness) is out for Monday's game against the Knicks, Vanessa Richardson of Space City Home Network reports.

Impact Landale has been downgraded from doubtful to out due to an illness Monday, and he'll face a short turnaround if he wants to return for the second leg of Houston's back-to-back Tuesday against the Nets. With Alperen Sengun (calf) out against the Knicks as well, the Rockets are deploying a smaller starting frontcourt of Jae'Sean Tate and Tari Eason. That said, Steven Adams should still play a significant role off the bench against Karl-Anthony Towns.

Doubtful for Monday Landale (illness) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Alperen Sengun (calf) is questionable for Houston, so Steven Adams could be asked to step up. If Landale and Sengun are both unable to play, however, the Rockets could lean on some smaller lineups.

Logs 16 minutes in return Landale finished Tuesday's 100-96 victory over the Hawks with four points (2-3 FG), six rebounds, two assists and one block across 16 minutes.

Impact Landale returned from a personal absence, playing 16 minutes as the backup center behind Alperen Sengun. Steven Adams was a late scratch due to ankle soreness, providing Landale with an unexpected opportunity. Through 22 games, Landale is averaging just 3.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 9.5 minutes per contest.

Serves as backup center in return Landale (personal) recorded six points (2-5 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and one steal across 10 minutes off the bench in Monday's 107-96 loss to the Pistons.

Impact The Rockets ruled out Steven Adams (migraine) for Monday's contest, but Landale stepped in to serve as Alperen Sengun's primary backup after missing the previous three games while tending to a personal matter. Assuming Adams is back in action for the Rockets' next game Wednesday versus the Cavaliers, Landale will likely find himself back outside of the rotation.

JANUARY 20 • ROTOWIRE

No longer on report Landale (personal) is not on the injury report for Monday's game against the Pistons.

Impact Landale missed Saturday's win over the Trail Blazers due to a personal problem, but the big man will suit up and be available Monday. That said, he essentially provides depth in the frontcourt, so he's not going to provide a lot of fantasy value even when available.

Out again Saturday Landale (personal) will not play Saturday versus Portland.

Impact Landale will miss a third game in a row Saturday and it's unclear when he'll be able to return. Landale fell out of the rotation recently, so this is unlikely to impact most fantasy leagues.

Out for personal reasons Landale (personal) is out for Wednesday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Landale won't be available for personal reasons Wednesday, and his next shot to rejoin Houston's lineup arrives Thursday against the Kings. Veteran big man Steven Adams has taken over as the top backup center behind Alperen Sengun lately, and the former should have a clear pathway to that role against Denver with Landale out of action.
