Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Saturday, Jan. 14:

50-50 Lineup

POS NAME OPPONENT FPPG SALARY
PG T.J. McConnell (PHI) at WAS 17.5 59K
SG Danny Green (SA) at PHO 17.2 40K
SF Gordon Hayward (UTA) vs. ORL 36.0 78K
PF Julius Randle (LAL) at LAC 30.1 71K
C Tyson Chandler (PHO) vs. SA 23.5 52K

This lineup isn't exactly filled with star power, but each player has a balanced game with a solid matchup. McConnell has shown improved passing ability of late. Green takes on the Suns' poor perimeter defense. Hayward's dynamic ability insures his owners against a complete bust. Randle takes on a Clippers team still missing PF Blake Griffin. Chandler is averaging 18 rebounds per game over his last four outings.

Tournament Lineup

POS NAME OPPONENT FPPG SALARY
PG Chris Paul (LAC) vs. LAL 42.1 95K
SG Bradley Beal (WAS) vs. PHI 33.2 80K
SF Joe Johnson (UTA) vs. ORL 14.7 25K
PF Markieff Morris (WAS) vs. PHI 24.9 63K
C Dewayne Dedmon (SA) at PHO 14.8 33K

There's even more weight on Paul's shoulders as a distributor with Griffin out. Speaking of absent All-Star hopefuls, Beal and Morris' ceilings will rise if PG John Wall (wrist) is ruled out. Johnson is a boom-or-bust player at this point, but he has still shown 20-point scoring potential with some frequency. Dedmon is averaging 8.7 points and 9.7 rebounds over his past three games.
