Jock Landale

Landale will start Wednesday against the Hornets.

Santi Aldama (knee) is not available for Wednesday's game, making it three of the last four that he's missed. Landale returns to the starting lineup, which raises his fantasy ceiling. That's the lone change to the Grizzlies' starting five.

Counting Wednesday, Aldama has missed three of the Grizzlies' last four games. Either John Konchar or Jock Landale will move into the starting lineup, but the latter offers a much higher fantasy ceiling, whether he starts or comes off the bench.

Landale will be back after a one-game absence. Santi Aldama started in his place, but more often than not recently, Aldama has come off the bench, while Landale has started. That will likely happen against Charlotte, though even if it doesn't, both players should play enough to provide standard league value.

Back in the Grizzlies' lineup after a two-game absence, Aldama played 27 minutes on Monday. The production was solid, and he's now reached double figures in four of his last five appearances. Jock Landale (personal) being away from the team could have raised Aldama's fantasy ceiling, but the playing time did not receive a significant boost. That said, he should be rostered in standard leagues as long as the Grizzlies are without starting center Zach Edey (ankle).
