Phoenix Suns' Nikola Jokic problem: Is more Jock Landale, less Deandre Ayton the answer? Some NBA writers and fans are calling for the Suns to play Deandre Ayton less in Game 6 of their series with the Nuggets. Is that the right...
Matches season-high 17 points Landale closed with 17 points (8-11 FG, 1-1 FT), six rebounds and three assists across 25 minutes during Friday's 135-127 loss to Sacramento.
Impact Landale got the best of Sacramento's big men, matching his season-high output with 17 points. He's seen double-digit minutes in each of the past five games and is helping hold down the center spot while Deandre Ayton (hip) -- out for the past three games -- remains shelved. Over the past five, Landale has averaged 9.2 points, 4.0 boards and 1.8 assists in 17.6 minutes.

Efficient outing in limited action Landale finished Thursday's 116-113 win over the Magic with eight points (4-6 FG), three rebounds and two assists across 13 minutes.
Impact Over his past two appearances, the talented big man has totaled 20 points (9-12 FG), six rebounds and four assists in 27 minutes, but his role is currently too small to trust on a nightly basis. Across eight March contests, Landale is averaging just 5.9 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 12.1 minutes per game.

Logs 21 minutes in blowout Landale amassed nine points (3-3 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 21 minutes during Friday's 125-104 win over Chicago.
Impact Landale had a decent evening Friday, delivering arguably his best performance in more than a month. While it appears as though he has locked up the backup center role, with Deandre Ayton healthy, he typically won't see more than about 16-18 minutes per night. He can have some deeper league appeal for anyone in need of boards and blocks, although that is really the limit of his fantasy appeal.

Coming off bench Friday Landale will come off the bench Friday against the Pacers, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports.
Impact Landale got the start for the shorthanded Suns on Thursday against the big frontline of the Hawks, but he'll return to his usual reserve role with Devin Booker (groin) back and the team facing a smaller squad in the Pacers. In his past 17 games coming off the bench, Landale has averaged 7.2 points, 4.7 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 15.0 minutes.
FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Starting Thursday Landale will enter the first five for Thursday's game against the Hawks, Brad Rowland of the Locked On Podcast Network reports.
Impact Landale will start alongside Deandre Ayton in the frontcourt with the Suns left shorthanded following their trade deadline activities. In two starts this season, Landale has averaged 10.5 points in 20.0 minutes.
FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Claims double-double off bench Landale finished with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, one assist and one block in 17 minutes in Saturday's 112-107 win over the Pacers.
Impact While Deandre Ayton (illness) was sidelined Saturday, Bismack Biyombo (12 points, 16 rebounds, three blocks in 30 minutes) received the promotion to the starting five and dominated the playing time at center, though Landale was still able to turn in a productive line of his own. In Ayton's past absences this season, the Suns haven't consistently favored Biyombo over Landale, so it's possible the latter center sees a larger share of the playing time Sunday against the Grizzlies while Ayton sits out for the second game in a row.

Returns to starting five Landale is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Warriors.
Impact Landale will replace Deandre Ayton (ankle) in the starting lineup Tuesday. The 27-year-old big man is averaging 10.5 points, 2.5 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 20.0 minutes across his previous two starts.
JANUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Slides back to bench Landale will return to the second unit for Friday's game against Toronto.
Impact Landale had started two straight games but will return to the bench in favor of Josh Okogie. In 28 games with the second unit this season, Landale has averaged 6.4 points and 3.8 rebounds.
DECEMBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Effective in starting role Landale supplied 16 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one block in 24 minutes during Tuesday's 125-108 win over Memphis.
Impact Landale moved into the starting lineup for the first time this season, taking Devin Booker's (groin) spot as Phoenix looked to match up with Memphis' size. The move paid off, with Landale finishing second on the team in scoring on the strength of an efficient 4-for-5 mark from the field and 6-for-6 mark from the charity stripe. The big man even made both of his three-point attempts, a surprising development given that he entered Tuesday shooting just 15.8 percent from deep on 1.4 attempts per game. Landale isn't likely to take on a starting role on a long-term basis, so there's no need for fantasy managers to pluck him off the waiver wire despite this strong performance.

Starting Tuesday Landale is in the starting lineup Tuesday against Memphis.
Impact Landale is making his first start of the season and just his second career one. The center has averaged 6.4 points and 3.8 rebounds off the bench this year.

Available versus Memphis Landale (concussion) is available for Friday's game against Memphis, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports.
Impact Landale missed back-to-back games earlier in the week due to concussion protocol, but he's been cleared to return Friday. Over his eight previous appearances before the injury, Landale posted 6.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game.
DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Questionable versus Grizzlies Landale (concussion) is questionable for Friday's game against the Grizzlies.
Impact Landale remains in concussion protocols after suffering the head injury on Dec. 17. In his absence, Bismack Biyombo and Dario Saric have enjoyed larger roles and would continue to see extended minutes if Landale were to stay sidelined.
DECEMBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Out again Tuesday Landale (concussion) has been ruled out for Tuesday's game against the Wizards.
Impact Landale remains in concussion protocol and will miss both halves of the Suns' current back-to-back. The backup center's next chance to suit up will come Friday against Memphis. In his absence, Bismack Biyombo and Dario Saric are candidates for increased roles behind Deandre Ayton.
DECEMBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
In concussion protocol Landale will not play Monday against the Lakers due to a concussion, Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reports.
Impact The big man suffered a concussion Saturday against the Pelicans and will begin the week on the inactive list. The Suns are entering a back-to-back set, so chances are Landale will miss Tuesday's game against Washington, as well.

Second career double-double Landale finished Thursday's 111-95 victory over the Clippers with 15 points (5-10 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-5 FT), 10 rebounds, two assists and two blocks across 27 minutes.
Impact Landale came off the bench in the win but outplayed starter Bismack Biyombo. He came through with just the second double-double of his career, playing a season-high 27 minutes. While he is a name to watch for as long as Deandre Ayton (ankle) is sidelined, recent history would tell us that Biyombo remains the priority when it comes to short-term fantasy value.
DECEMBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Unproductive in Tuesday's loss Landale recorded seven points (3-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-1 FT), one rebound and one block in 12 minutes during Tuesday's 111-97 loss to the Rockets.
Impact Landale was unable to produce anything of note in the loss, continuing what has been a lean spell for the Aussie. On a somewhat positive note, he could be in line for a few extra minutes moving forward after Deandre Ayton suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter. Should he miss time, both Landale and Bismack Biyombo could be tasked with filling the hole left by Ayton's absence. While Biyombo is the preferred target, Landale could be worth a look in deeper formats.

Seven points, six boards off bench Landale registered seven points (3-4 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and six rebounds across 13 minutes during Friday's 114-97 loss to Orlando.
Impact Landale took only three shots in the first half, connecting on two of them for four points while also adding four first-half assists. He added another three points in the third quarter before sitting for all of the fourth as the Magic ran away with the lead. Landale is averaging just under eight points per game off the bench for Phoenix and has registered six or more rebounds in five of 12 contests to begin the season.

Excellent off bench Sunday Landale recorded 16 points (6-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), seven rebounds, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 124-109 victory over the Rockets.
Impact Landale came off the bench since Bismack Biyombo got the start with Deandre Ayton (ankle) sidelined, and he outplayed the latter with a strong outing on both ends of the court. Landale has now scored in double digits in two of his last three games, but he's expected to continue coming off the bench with Biyombo in the starting unit. Either way, Landale could be worth a flyer as a streaming option in deeper formats as long as Ayton remains out.
