Analysis:

The Knicks have played well recently while utilizing a starting lineup that features two point guards, with Carmelo Anthony at power forward. Coach Woodson has preferred a more traditional lineup all season but finally seems to be coming around. Ultimately, this decision probably won't be made until Bargnani is healthy, and, even then, Woodson may just end up playing matchups. It's something to keep an eye on, but with Bargnani out indefinitely, the topic may not come up again for a few weeks.
