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.
