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.
