Impact Despite recording five offensive rebounds, Landale came up short of a double-double during Friday's loss. The 28-year-old big man has cemented himself as Australia's top option at center and had his way inside against Greece, drawing five fouls.

Posts 20 points in starting role Landale closed Friday's 116-107 win over the Trail Blazers with 20 points (8-13 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), four rebounds, three assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes.

Impact The Rockets experimented with a smaller lineup during Portland's win over Utah, but they brought size back into the frontcourt with Landale against the Trail Blazers, presumably to contain Deandre Ayton (back). Landale was effective against Portland's alternate options after Ayton exited early. Now with his third team in three seasons, Landale is projected to stay trapped behind Alperen Sengun next season, but the 6-11 center could see more time in frontcourt injury scenarios.

Joins first unit Landale will start Friday's game against Portland, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Fred VanVleet (hip) is sitting out, so the Rockets will slide everyone else down a position in what will be a bigger lineup. This will allow Landale to match up with Portland's Deandre Ayton.

Leads bench in scoring Sunday Landale totaled 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-6 FT), one rebound, two assists and one steal across 16 minutes during Sunday's 147-136 overtime loss to the Mavericks.

Impact Landale reached double-digit scoring for the second straight game Sunday. He has provided solid backup minutes at center behind Jabara Smith since the injury to Alperen Sengun (ankle) in March. The Rockets were eliminated from playoff contention following Sunday's loss, so Landale could see some additional playing time during the last week of the regular season.

Provides spark off bench Landale accumulated 10 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal over 26 minutes during Friday's 119-104 loss to the Heat.

Impact Landale recorded his second double-digit scoring outing in his last six appearances during Friday's loss to Miami. Across his last 10 games coming off the bench, Landale is averaging 8.1 points, 4.9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.1 blocks in 20.7 minutes on 54.0 percent shooting from the field.

Returns to bench role Landale is not in the starting lineup to face the Thunder on Wednesday.

Impact Landale was in the starting lineup Monday against the Trail Blazers, posting 17 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes. However, the veteran big man will move back to his regular bench role with Jabari Smith returning from a one-game suspension.

Thrives in starting role Monday Landale racked up 17 points (6-6 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), nine rebounds, two assists and one block across 32 minutes during Monday's 110-92 victory over Portland.

Impact Landale drew his first start of the season Monday due to the suspension of Jabari Smith, and there's no question the veteran big man made the most of the opportunity. He's been playing really well of late, scoring in double digits in five of his last seven outings, but he should return to a backup role ahead of Wednesday's game against the Thunder.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Enters starting lineup Landale is starting Monday's game against the Trail Blazers, Lachard Binkley of TheDreamShake.com reports.

Impact Landale will draw his first start of the season due to the absence of Jabari Smith (suspension). Landale is averaging 7.5 points, 4.4 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 11 March appearances as the backup center.

MARCH 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Thriives off bench Thursday Landale closed with 17 points (6-10 FG, 5-5 FT), 12 rebounds, five assists and two blocks over 27 minutes during Thursday's 127-117 victory over the Bulls.

Impact Landale made the most of his minutes off the bench, and aside from outplaying Jabari Smith at the center position, he also showed an efficient touch on offense en route to a double-double. There's a strong chance this might have been a one-off performance for Landale, but he could be in line to see an uptick in minutes in recent games since Alperen Sengun (ankle) is not expected to return until the final days of the regular season.

MARCH 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Swats seven shots Landale chipped in 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and seven blocks in 20 minutes during Tuesday's 137-114 win over the Wizards.

Impact With seven blocks on the night, Landale easily set a new career-best mark. His previous best was three blocks, and he's only recorded at least two blocks in 10 total games. Fantasy managers should take this outlier performance with a grain of salt, but he's certainly trending up with averages of 9.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 2.0 blocks over his last five games.

MARCH 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Lands increased role Tuesday Landale produced 11 points (5-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four rebounds, five assists, one block and two steals across 26 minutes during Tuesday's 103-101 win over the Spurs.

Impact Landale served up arguably his best game of the season, playing at least 20 minutes for the first time all year. With Alperen Sengun likely sidelined for the remainder of the season due to multiple leg issues, Landale could find himself a key piece of the rotation moving forward. While his role could be dependant on who the opposition is, he is worth considering given his ability to contribute across multiple categories.

MARCH 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Making most of limited minutes Landale accumulated nine points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), five rebounds, four assists and one block over 17 minutes during Sunday's 112-104 victory over the Kings.

Impact Landale continues to make the most of the limited minutes he has available, and he made his presence felt on both ends of the court during Sunday's win. Given that Alperen Sengun departed the game with a right lower-leg injury that forced him to leave the game in a wheelchair, Landale could be in line for a sizable uptick in his fantasy upside, especially if he can show the same versatility he's evidenced in recent outings but over a more prolonged stretch.

MARCH 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go Landale (wrist) is available for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves, Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Landale found himself on the injury report ahead of Sunday's game due to a right wrist bruise, but he will be able to play through it. The 28-year-old pro has not appeared in the last three games but could crack the rotation in a limited fashion Sunday to match up with Minnesota's size.

FEBRUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Sunday Landale is questionable for Sunday's game against the Timberwolves due to a right wrist bruise.

Impact Landale is a sporadic part of the rotation, so his potential absence shouldn't impact fantasy hoops. If he's sidelined, Boban Marjanovic may crack the rotation for a few minutes to combat Minnesota's frontcourt size.

FEBRUARY 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in rotation Wednesday Landale supplied five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and five rebounds across 12 minutes during Wednesday's 129-113 loss to the Suns.

Impact Landale was back in the rotation after missing the previous two games, logging 12 minutes in the loss. Jabari Smith suffered an ankle injury after only 22 minutes, meaning Landale stepped in as the backup center. If Smith misses more time, Landale could feature a little more over the next few games. He won't play enough to be considered in standard leagues but should at least touch the floor most nights.

DECEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Just four minutes in loss Landale notched one rebound and one steal over four minutes during Monday's 135-130 overtime loss to Cleveland.

Impact Landale failed to play more than 10 minutes for the eighth straight game, continuing his disappointing season. To this point, he is averaging just 8.5 minutes per contest, during which time he is doing very little to make us think he will be fantasy-relevant at all this season.

DECEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available Monday Landale is not listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Landale missed the last two games due to an illness but will make his return on Monday against San Antonio. Landale doesn't figure to see significant playing time behind Alperen Sengun.

DECEMBER 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't face Denver Landale (illness) is out for Friday's game against the Nuggets.

Impact Landale missed Wednesday's game against the Thunder with an illness, and that will keep him sidelined for a second straight contest. Even if he's available, Landale shouldn't play much of a role in fantasy since he's little more than the backup of a high-usage center in Alperen Sengun. Landale's next chance to play will come against the Spurs on Monday.
