Questionable to play Tuesday
Landale (calf) is questionable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.
Analysis
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.

Officially out Sunday
Landale (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Landale will miss a second straight contest due to a right calf injury. Christian Koloko will likely see a larger reserve role in Landale's absence.

Unlikely to play Sunday
Landale (calf) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Landale has gone from questionable to doubtful for Sunday's contest due to a sore right calf. If Landale winds up sitting, Christian Koloko would serve as the team's backup center once again.

Iffy for Sunday
Landale (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Wizards.
Analysis
Landale is in jeopardy of missing his second consecutive contest due to right calf soreness. If the big man is ultimately ruled out, Christian Koloko could see significant playing time once again. Over his last five outings (one start), Landale has averaged 12.2 points, 8.0 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.0 blocks in 25.6 minutes per contest.

Not playing vs. Milwaukee
Landale is out for Friday's game against the Bucks due to right calf soreness.
Analysis
The big man will miss a game for the first time this season, though his absence isn't likely to affect many fantasy decisions since he's been playing off the bench in recent weeks. He's averaging 22.0 minutes per game since the beginning of November, spanning 24 appearances but only eight starts. His next chance to play will come against the Wizards on Sunday. Christian Koloko could see an uptick in playing time with Landale out.

Won't start Tuesday
Landale won't start against the Jazz on Tuesday.
Analysis
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.

Double-doubles in start
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.
Analysis
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.

Enters starting five
Landale is starting Monday's game against the Thunder.
Analysis
Landale will draw his first start since Nov. 12 after averaging 11.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.0 steals over his last five appearances, which all came off the bench. He spent the first 13 games of the season as a starter, so this is a role he's well acquainted with.
