Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Wednesday, April 5:

The "Playoff Implications, Part 1" Lineup

POS NAME OPP FPPG SALARY
PG Chris Paul (LAC) vs. DAL 40.4 76K
SG Rodney McGruder (MIA) at CHA 14.3 31K
SF James Johnson (MIA) at CHA 26.0 60K
PF Blake Griffin (LAC) vs. DAL 39.5 73K
C Al Horford (BOS) vs. CLE 33.0 58K

Each of the the teams featured in this lineup could stand to gain a lot with a victory tonight -- the Clippers would pull even with the Utah Jazz, the Heat would bolster their playoff hopes, and the Celtics would dethrone the Cavaliers. Paul and Griffin make for a very safe duo while Horford and Johnson's versatile athleticism provides a high fantasy ceiling. McGruder is a wild card.

The "Playoff Implications, Part 2" Lineup

POS NAME OPP FPPG SALARY
PG Isaiah Thomas (BOS) vs. CLE 42.2 77K
SG Jonathon Simmons (SA) vs. LAL 12.0 35K
SF LeBron James (CLE) at BOS 50.0 91K
PF Kevin Love (CLE) at BOS 36.9 69K
C Mason Plumlee (DEN) at HOU 27.2 27K

The Cavaliers are 50-27 with five games left. The Celtics are 50-27 with five games left. Expect the stars to be out in full force to try and break the tie atop the Eastern Conference. Thomas, James and Love will push each other to higher heights. It wouldn't be a complete shock to see them combine for 90-plus points, never mind all of the assists, rebounds and 3s
