Starting Lineups, May 3: Conley out as 2nd round gets cooking

Nelson Chenault-USA TODAY Sports / reuters

The second round of the NBA playoffs gets underway on Sunday with a pair of matinees. 

If you'd had to guess before the playoffs began which team - between the Hawks and Wizards - would be better rested after the first round, the Hawks would've been the obvious choice.

Instead, the Wizards come in off a week-long hiatus after laying waste to the Raptors, while the banged up Hawks have to make some hasty preparations after needing six tight games to dispose of a mediocre Nets team. 

Out west, the Grizzlies venture into the lion's den that is Oracle Arena, and without their starting point guard. Mike Conley, who missed Games 4 and 5 of the first round with a busted face, is out for Game 1 against the Warriors

Here are Sunday's projected starting lineups:

Washington Wizards at Atlanta Hawks, 1 p.m. ET

Position Wizards Hawks
PG John Wall Jeff Teague
SG Bradley Beal Kyle Korver
SF Paul Pierce DeMarre Carroll
