NBA starting lineups, injury news for Thursday, February 4th

As many of you are focused on the Super Bowl, the NBA continues to roll through a season filled with cancelations and blowouts. We’ve been getting some better basketball lately, however, which is nice now that we have some way of players getting recognition.
