Starting Lineups: Feb. 4

Coming off one of the worst nights on the NBA schedule this season, the league has a loaded Wednesday slate with a handful of exciting, marquee games.

Things get started early with a battle of two top-three East teams, as the Hawks look to get back on track against the Wizards after having their 19-game winning streak snapped Monday. Other East teams in action include the Nets and Raptors squaring off in Toronto, while the Bulls visit the Dwight Howard-less Rockets in Houston.

Out West, Russell Westbrook will try to take down Anthony Davis and the Pelicans without tag-team partner Kevin Durant, and the Mavericks try to slow down the Warriors machine without Rajon Rondo.

That's a lot of injury red tape for an intro, so it's a good thing you're here to sort through it all. Here are Wednesday's projected starting lineups:
