TODD DEWEY, REVIEW-JOURNAL, 44-29-1 (overall record)
Today’s best bet: Denver Nuggets (-1 1/2) over SAN ANTONIO SPURS The Spurs have settled down a bit after stumbling out of the gate this season, but still aren’t their old selves without Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker. The Nuggets, meanwhile, are 6-1 since the arrival of point guard Chauncey Billups, and look for them to make that 7-1 tonight.
