Showdown of '03 draftees at the Q

Denver over CLEVELAND (-7.5) - The Cavs haven't exactly been whacking people of late, and the Nuggets have yet to lose (albeit against inferior competition) since Chauncey Billups joined the lineup.  We say they keep this one close.

Dallas (-0.5) over CHICAGO - Two shaky teams, but we still think the Mavs are a bit better.

Detroit (-4.5) over GOLDEN STATE - Sure, the Pistons were shaky in their win over the Kings on Tuesday, and they remain 1-2 with Allen Iverson, but the Warriors' play has been nothing to write home about.

Last night: 4-7

Season: 59-57
