Filling in Your Wednesday NBA Lineups
Here are theScore's sample daily fantasy lineups for Wednesday's three-game slate:
Cash Game Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| PG | Damian Lillard (POR) | at LAC |
| PG | Kemba Walker (CHA) | at MIA |
| SG | James Harden (HOU) | at GS |
| SG | J.J. Redick (LAC) | vs. POR |
| SF | Trevor Ariza (HOU) | at GS |
| SF | Jeff Green (LAC) | vs. POR |
| PF | Draymond Green (GS) | vs. HOU |
| PF | Frank Kaminsky (CHA) | at MIA |
| C | Mason Plumlee (POR) | at LAC |
Lillard and Plumlee should do plenty of damage against the short-handed Clippers, while Green steps into a starting role and is a terrific cash-game play given his minuscule salary.
GPP Without UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| PG | Austin Rivers (LAC) | vs. POR |
| PG | Damian Lillard (POR) | at LAC |
| SG | James Harden (HOU) | at GS |
| SG | Klay Thompson (GS) | vs. HOU |
| SF | Andre Iguodala (GS) | vs. HOU |
| SF | Marvin Williams (CHA) | at MIA |
| PF | Marreese Speights (GS) | vs. HOU |
| PF | Clint Capela (HOU) | at GS |
| C | Hassan Whiteside (MIA) | vs. CHA |
Rivers has one of the highest ceilings of any player at his price point. Iguodala is a GPP stud. Speights and Capela are speculative picks, but on such a short slate, you'll need to go off the radar.
Cash Game With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| PG | Damian Lillard (POR) | at LAC |
| SG | Klay Thompson (GS) | vs. HOU |
| SF | Jeff Green (LAC) | vs. POR |
| PF | Draymond Green (GS) | vs. HOU |
| C | Mason Plumlee (POR) | at LAC |
| G | Austin Rivers (LAC) | vs. POR |
| F | Trevor Ariza (HOU) | at GS |
| UTIL | Al-Farouq Aminu (POR) | at LAC |
This lineup should be stable all the way through. Leaving Harden out of the equation smacks of contrarianism, but you can still easily put up enough fantasy points to win a cash-game contest without him.
GPP With UTIL
| POS | NAME | OPPONENT |
|---|---|---|
| PG | Damian Lillard (POR) | at LAC |
| SG | Austin Rivers (LAC) | vs. POR |
| SF | Andre Iguodala (GS) | vs. HOU |
| PF | Draymond Green (GS) | vs. HOU |
| C | Dwight Howard (HOU) | at GS |
| G | James Harden (HOU) | at GS |
| F | Jeff Green (LAC) | vs. POR |
| UTIL | Clint Capela (HOU) | at GS |
Howard is criminally underpriced for the value he provides, and could be a tournament monster if he can stay out of foul trouble. Green is expensive, but is in for a big night with Stephen Curry sidelined.
