Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Tuesday, Jan. 24:
50-50 Lineup
POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
---|---|---|---|---|
PG | Isaiah Thomas (BOS) | at WAS | 42.1 | 80K |
SG | Austin Rivers (LAC) | at PHI | 19.2 | 52K |
SF | P.J. Tucker (PHO) | vs. MIN | 17.7 | 38K |
PF | Gorgui Dieng (MIN) | at PHO | 25.4 | 54K |
C | Al Horford (BOS) | at WAS | 34.8 | 70K |
Thomas is consistently scoring 30-plus points these days with the occasional foray into 40-point territory. His teammate, Horford, switches up his game, so his rebounding and assists seem low, but he's capable of a double-double nightly and often comes close. Rivers has a plum matchup and his role continues to expand. Dieng is far from spectacular, but he gets minutes as long as he stays out of foul trouble.
Tournament Lineup
POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
---|---|---|---|---|
PG | Kyle Lowry (TOR) | vs. SA | 41.1 | 72K |
SG | Jamal Murray (DEN) | vs. UTA | 14.6 | 25K |
SF | Kawhi Leonard (SA) | at TOR | 41.2 | 86K |
PF | Amir Johnson (BOS) | at WAS | 16.5 | 32K |
C | DeAndre Jordan (LAC) | at PHI | 34.0 | 82K |
Without SG DeMar DeRozan, it ought to be all Lowry, all the time. No player exceeds 100K in Squad Up Tuesday, making it a little easier to roster top names together, including taking a risky flyer on Leonard, who should return to action against the Raptors. Johnson and Murray are high-risk, bargain options to make it possible to reach for upside elsewhere, especially if you believe Jordan will have a big game against the Joel Embiid-less 76ers.
