Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Wednesday, November 23 (Slates are split up between the seven games starting between 7:00 and 7:30 EST and a later slate of games starting at 8:00 EST):
Early Lineup
POS | NAME | OPP | SALARY | FPPG |
---|---|---|---|---|
PG | Kemba Walker (CHA) | vs. SA | 81K | 41.0 |
SG | Avery Bradley (BOS) | at BKN | 69K | 33.5 |
SF | Aaron Gordon (ORL) | vs. PHO | 43K | 21.2 |
PF | David Lee (SA) | at CHA | 26K | 15.4 |
C | Andre Drummond (DET) | vs. MIA | 80K | 35.6 |
Walker and Drummond are great tournament choices due to stingy defensive matchups against the Spurs and Heat, respectively. Bradley could easily hit his high upside against one of the worst defenses in the league, and Lee is coming off a season-high 28 minutes, though the Spurs' rotation is hardly predictable.
Late Lineup
POS | NAME | OPP | SALARY | FPPG |
---|---|---|---|---|
PG | Russell Westbrook (OKC) | at SAC | 97K | 57.9 |
SG | Klay Thompson (GS) | vs. LAL | 48K | 28.3 |
SF | Gordon Hayward (UTA) | vs. DEN | 68K | 34.1 |
PF | Trey Lyles (UTA) | vs. DEN | 42K | 17.2 |
C | Steven Adams (OKC) | at SAC | 44K | 24.1 |
As long as PF/C Derrick Favors is out, Lyles will make for an able replacement depending on the opposing matchup. The Nuggets are middle of the road in defensive efficiency and play a faster pace than Utah is accustomed to, while allowing a ton of points. Stack the Jazz and invest in a slightly less expensive Westbrook (compared to Tuesday) for a shot at top prizes.
