Mike Dunleavy, suffering from a bad case of the flu, has lost 10 pounds.  The former Duke forward will continue to start despite the sickness.

"He's been sapped pretty good," Montgomery said. "I've encouraged him to sit up and take nourishment, and I think he's trying."

Mickael Pietrus and Calbert Cheaney have been seeing more minutes while Dunleavy battles through his illness.  Pietrus will threaten to take more of Dunleavy's minutes, as he scored a career-high 24 points against Denver on Monday night, in a win that sealed coach Jeff Bzdelik's fate.
