Caron Butler and Antawn Jamison joined their teammates for a brief but energetic practice yesterday at Verizon Center and expect to be in the starting lineup tonight when the Washington Wizards attempt to break a four-game losing streak when they host the Atlanta Hawks.

Butler, who has missed three straight games with back spasms, and Jamison, who has missed 12 games with a sprained left knee, are two-thirds of the league's most potent scoring trio.
