Scores eight off bench in win

Landale was a regular starter when Zach Edey (ankle) was sidelined to begin the season, but this time around, Santi Aldama is getting a shot with the first five. Regardless, Landale has begun to see an increased role again, playing at least 20 minutes in his last three appearances. Landale should get to see plenty of opportunities at center until Edey is cleared to suit up again.

Quiet outing in win

Despite starting a second straight game in Zach Edey's (ankle) absence, Aldama had one of his worst performances of the season, which can primarily be attributed to the respective scoring explosions of Jaren Jackson (31) and Cam Spencer (27). After dropping exactly 22 points in his last two appearances, Aldama cooled off but will look to bounce back Wednesday against the Timberwolves.

Grabs seven boards in win

While Caldwell-Pope did not take many shots Monday, he contributed in other ways, dishing out six assists, grabbing a season-high seven rebounds and tacking on two steals. Caldwell-Pope figures to retain a sizable role off the bench, though his production has failed to impress during his first season in Memphis.
