PLAYER NOTES: --F Juwan Howard didn't play versus the Hawks, but he'll be useful Saturday versus the Knicks on the second night of back-to-back games.
--F Vladimir Radmanovic isn't shooting enough for Larry Brown. Radmanovic took just three shots in 18-plus minutes and Brown wants him taking every open shot.
--C Nazr Mohammed has now gone 11 games without playing. Coach Larry Brown has lauded Mohammed for how engaged Mohammed is in practice, considering how little the veteran plays.

MEDICAL WATCH:
--G Raja Bell is playing with a right shoulder strain that has caused him to miss several practices.
