Denver point guard Earl Watson, still little-used behind Andre Miller and Earl Boykins, remains on the Knicks' radar screen and is eligible to be traded Thursday, the first day members of last summer's free-agent class can be dealt.

The Nuggets are again shy up front with Kenyon Martin leaving another game this because of his ongoing knee problem. Watson is a salary-cap match with backup center Jerome James and a close one with forward Malik Rose.
