After a relatively strong showing during his second season in the NBA, Landale landed a three-year deal with the Rockets. He served as the backup behind Deandre Ayton during the 2022-23 season, averaging 6.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 14.2 minutes per game. He is likely to see a similar role in Houston, playing behind Alperen Sengun. Landale suffered an ankle injury in the lead-up to the FIBA World Cup, ruling him out of the competition. Although there are still two months until the start of the regular season, there is a chance he is not available for the start of training camp, at the very least. With that said, it should not delay his Rockets debut too much, meaning managers should get a good look at his role. Unless the team opts to utilize him as a floor-spacing five, affording him at least 22 minutes per night, he is not going to be a standard league asset. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
On the block
CHouston Rockets
January 16, 2024
Landale is a top trade candidate for the Rockets before Feb. 8's trade deadline, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS Landale has compiled just 94 minutes of action since the beginning of December. He made Houston 8.4 points worse on offense during his time on the court this season. Scotto notes that Victor Oladipo's expiring contract and the "flexible and tradeable contract" of Landale could be combined with draft capital or a young piece to net a "starting-caliber upgrade" for the Rockets.
Landale now finds himself in Phoenix, likely playing backup minutes behind Deandre Ayton. Despite an underwhelming rookie season, Landale did manage to cobble together a few excellent performances, highlighted by a career-high 27 points in a loss to Indiana in early March. He added seven rebounds and two steals, going 12-of-15 from the floor during that game. Looking ahead to the 2022-23 season, it is unlikely Landale sees enough playing time to warrant significant attention in fantasy leagues. If Ayton is to miss time at any point, managers may want to just keep Landale on their radar, given his untapped upside.
