Jock Landale, the Houston Rockets' center, has had a modest season with averages of 4.1 points over 27 games, primarily in a backup role. Despite limited minutes, he has shown flashes of potential; notably, he scored 13 points against the Golden State Warriors and recorded his only double-double against the Toronto Raptors. With the playoffs approaching, Landale's role could expand, particularly if Steven Adams faces rest or injury.

Landale's contribution might be crucial for Houston in the stretch run as they seek to secure playoff positioning. If he can effectively manage his minutes while supporting Adams and Alperen Sengun, it would mark a successful season for him.
