Beast of the Night: Donte Greene was a monster against the Knicks last night, posting 24 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 6 blocks while nailing 6 threes and shooting 69 percent (9-13) from the field. When’s the last time a player hit 6 threes and blocked 6 shots in the same game?

Game watch:
4 games: DAL, DEN, LAC, MEM, MIL, MIN, NJ, NY, ORL, PHI, POR, SAC, SA, TOR

2 games: CHI, NO

Waiver wire watch:

• Jason Williams: his most recent line was solid and he should see plenty of minutes while Jameer Nelson is out
• James Harden: he’s turning things around, though his shooting is still unreliable
