Filling in Your Wednesday NBA Lineups

Jayne Kamin-Oncea / USA TODAY Sports

Here are theScore's sample NBA daily fantasy lineups for Wednesday, January 20:

Cash Game Without UTIL

POS NAME OPPONENT
PG Reggie Jackson (DET) at HOU
PG Tyler Johnson (MIA) at WAS
SG Lou Williams (LAL) vs. SAC
SG Evan Fournier (ORL) vs. PHI
SF Gordon Hayward (UTA) at NY
SF Jared Dudley (WAS) vs. MIA
PF Paul Millsap (ATL) at POR
PF Chris Bosh (MIA) at WAS
C Dwight Howard (HOU) vs. DET

Johnson should produce based on volume alone, with both Beno Udrih and Goran Dragic injured. Fournier is the main beneficiary of Victor Oladipo's injury. Williams is playing well over 30 minutes, scoring 18 or more points in nine out of his last 10 games. The lineup is rounded out by consistent big men, with Howard coming off a 36-point, 26-rebound game.

GPP Without UTIL

POS NAME OPPONENT
PG Stephen Curry (GS) at CHI
PG Ish Smith (PHI) at ORL
SG Lou Williams (LAL) vs. SAC
SG Evan Fournier (ORL) vs. PHI
SF Rudy Gay (SAC) at LAL
SF Kevin Durant (OKC) vs. CHA
PF Julius Randle (LAL) vs. SAC
PF Frank Kaminsky (CHA) at OKC
C Meyers Leonard (POR) vs. ATL

Smith has thrived since joining the 76ers, while Gay has an outstanding matchup against the Lakers. Randle is game time decision making him a great contrarian, though his status will need to be monitored. Kaminsky and Leonard are both cheap and have contributed with consistency lately. Drafting them allows you to save up for Durant and Curry.

Cash Game With UTIL

POS NAME OPPONENT
PG D'Angelo Russell (LAL) vs. SAC
SG Evan Fournier (ORL) vs. PHI
SF Rudy Gay (SAC) at LAL
PF Trey Lyles (UTA) at NY
C Meyers Leonard (POR) vs. ATL
G Lou Williams (LAL) vs. SAC
F DeMarcus Cousins (SAC) at LAL
UTIL Andrew Wiggins (MIN) at DAL

For the first time in his young career, Russell has scored a consistent amount of points while playing a consistent amount of minutes. Lyles has scored 16-plus points in three of his last four games and it only helps that Kristaps Porzingis is questionable. Cousins has been scoring double-doubles in his sleep, while Wiggins has been rolling and has a good matchup.

GPP With UTIL

POS NAME OPPONENT
PG Rajon Rondo (SAC) at LAL
SG Evan Fournier (ORL) vs. PHI
SF Jared Dudley (MIA) at WAS
PF Trey Lyles (UTA) at NY
C Zaza Pachulia (DAL) vs. MIN
G Lou Williams (LAL) vs. SAC
F Julius Randle (LAL) vs. SAC
UTIL Dwight Howard (HOU) vs. DET

Rondo is always a threat for a points/assists double-double and the Lakers' defense is putrid. Dudley has played huge minutes without Otto Porter in the lineup. Pachulia is the cheapest double-double machine there is, and his recent struggles make him an excellent contrarian. Howard has a double-double in 10-straight games.
