Here is a look at the Squad Up daily NBA fantasy picture for Saturday, November 19:

Dynamic Duos

• C Alex Len (59K) & SG Brandon Knight (38K), Suns (at 76ers): Knight has poured in 49 points and six 3-pointers in his past two games. Len could be in for another start as C Tyson Chandler missed Friday's game due to a personal matter and may be unavailable for Saturday's game, as well. The matchup against Philly is obviously favorable.

• PF Blake Griffin (83K) & SG J.J. Redick (42K), Clippers (vs. Bulls): Redick has found his stroke over his past two games, knocking down 13-of-20 3-pointers. Griffin continues to cement himself as one the most consistent players in the Association, averaging 21.2 points, 9.2 rebounds, and 4.2 assists this season. There's upside and safety in this duo.

• SF Nicolas Batum (70K) & C Cody Zeller (50K): Batum's averaging 18.2 points, 8.5 rebounds, and six rebounds in his past four games. Zeller's totaled 37 points and 12 rebounds, having played exactly 31 minutes in each of his past two games. Against a Pelicans team giving up 106.9 points per game and ranking as one of the worst rebounding teams in the league, Batum and Zeller both offer well-rounded stat lines.

Bargain Plays

• PG Terry Rozier (25K), Celtics (at Pistons): Rozier's playing 20 minutes a game this season, contributing a respectable 6.8 points and 3.4 rebounds. He's coming off his best game of the year against Golden State in which he scored 11 points, grabbed seven boards, and handed out five dimes. With Marcus Smart possibly sitting out Saturday, Rozier could see an increased role.

• PF John Henson (32K), Bucks (vs. Warriors): Henson has played 20 and 28 minutes his past two games, respectively. That's a massive jump from his 16-minute average for the season. A matchup against Golden State may put his playing time into flux once again due to the Warriors' style of play, but if Henson again tops 20 minutes, he can easily return value.

• SF Michael Beasley (25K), Bucks (vs. Warriors): Beasley is a strict tournament-only play, as his playing time is highly volatile. His player efficiency rating and per-36 projections indicate tremendous upside if offered extended run, however. In a matchup against Golden State, Beasley's ability to play up-tempo should help him get on the court.

Top Fades

• C Robin Lopez (50K), Bulls (at Clippers): Lopez has been a cheap source of double-doubles in his past three games, partially because he's attempted at least 15 field goals in all three contests. Despite the recent production, though, Lopez is a less appealing play Saturday against the Clippers. L.A. ranks second in defensive efficiency and C DeAndre Jordan is one of the league's premier defenders.

• C Marcin Gortat (67K), Wizards (vs. Heat): Like Jordan, Miami's Hassan Whiteside represents another difficult test for any opposing center. Along with his defensive prowess, Whiteside is also gobbling up a healthy 25.6 percent of all available rebounds this year. Gortat has averaged just 8.4 points and 8.1 rebounds in 25 games against Miami.

• PG Jrue Holiday (56K), Pelicans (vs. Hornets): Holiday returned to action Friday evening, tallying 27 points and seven assists in just 23 minutes. Despite the fantastic return, Holiday has to be approached with caution. He draws one of the league's top defensive units in the Hornets and a tough individual assignment in Kemba Walker. Don't expect him to play over 30 minutes, either.

Contrarian Options

• SF P.J. Tucker (40K), Suns (at 76ers): Tucker played 39 minutes on Friday as starter T.J. Warren played just nine due to an illness. With Phoenix on the second leg of a back-to-back and Warren's status unknown, Tucker could be in for another heavy workload. He could have double-double potential if things go well.

• C Joel Embiid (62K), 76ers (vs. Suns): The Process' status for Saturday isn't clear just yet as he tweaked his ankle slightly Thursday night. In combination with his minutes restriction, ownership levels will wane. But with Chandler unlikely to play and Phoenix operating at a high pace of play, another double-double is easily attainable for Embiid.

• PF Jon Leuer (50K), Pistons (vs. Celtics): Leuer is hardly a sexy fantasy option. The former Sun, however, is averaging career-highs in minutes, points, and rebounds with the Pistons this season. He's shown remarkable consistency, returning cash-game value in seven of nine most recent games. Roll him out as an underappreciated budget option.
