Here are theScore's sample Squad Up lineups for Tuesday, March 21:
Strong frontcourt, suspect backcourt
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG | J.J. Barea (DAL) | vs. GS | 22.2 | 36K |
| SG | Denzel Valentine (CHI) | at TOR | 10.5 | 40K |
| SF | T.J. Warren (PHO) | at MIA | 23.9 | 65K |
| PF | Blake Griffin (LAC) | at LAL | 39.6 | 77K |
| C | Hassan Whiteside (MIA) | vs. PHO | 38.4 | 82K |
In his fifth game since returning from a calf injury, Barea finally topped the 20-minute mark. In 27 minutes, Barea notched 20 points and seven assists against Brooklyn, Sunday. He's a bargain with double-double potential assuming he logs another 25-plus minutes. The well-rounded styles of Warren and Valentine keep them from flopping. Griffin and Whiteside should feast on their weak opponents.
SPF needed in Miami-Phoenix matchup
| POS | NAME | OPP | FPPG | SALARY |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PG | Stephen Curry (GS) | at DAL | 42.6 | 85K |
| SG | Denzel Valentine (CHI) | at TOR | 10.5 | 40K |
| SF | Wayne Ellington (MIA) | vs. PHO | 17.7 | 41K |
| PF | Marquese Chriss (PHO) | at MIA | 16.5 | 51K |
| C | Hassan Whiteside (MIA) | vs. PHO | 38.4 | 82K |
Curry sat the entire fourth quarter Monday evening, so he's more likely to dress for this back-to-back. Ellington has averaged 3.7 3-pointers a night over his past 10 games. He should feast against Phoenix's horrid perimeter defense. Chriss is an inexpensive but solid play thanks to his scoring and rebounding.
