Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Wednesday, November 16:
50-50 Lineup
| POS | NAME | OPP | SALARY | FPPG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG | James Harden (HOU) | at OKC | 105K | 57.0 |
| SG | Gerald Henderson (PHI) | vs. WAS | 35K | 17.3 |
| SF | Carmelo Anthony (NY) | vs. DET | 71K | 34.5 |
| PF | Kristaps Porzingis (NY) | vs. DET | 64K | 32.3 |
| C | John Henson (MIL) | at ATL | 25K | 12.2 |
Harden, Anthony, and Porzingis should collectively provide the floor needed, but it doesn't mean you can afford to forego the other spots. Henderson lacks flash, but he is getting consistent minutes and doing enough in multiple categories for a cheap flier. Henson was just promoted to starting C. With Dwight Howard questionable, Henson's prospects have lit up alongside his pending surge in minutes.
Tournament Lineup
| POS | NAME | OPP | SALARY | FPPG |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG | Isaiah Thomas (BOS) | vs. DAL | 90K | 40.9 |
| SG | DeMar DeRozan (TOR) | vs. GS | 83K | 45.0 |
| SF | Kent Bazemore (ATL) | vs. MIL | 48K | 24.0 |
| PF | Ryan Anderson (HOU) | at OKC | 48K | 23.0 |
| C | Mike Muscala (ATL) | vs. MIL | 36K | 19.8 |
No Harden, no problem. Thomas and DeRozan will do most of the heavy lifting, but Anderson and Muscala have sneaky upside and chances at big nights. Anderson has struggled a bit with his three-point shot over his last two games, but he had hit at least four in five straight prior games.
