Duke has beat Wake Forrest in 6 straight games.
Blue Devils 3rd leading scorer Ryan Kelly, who has 4 of his 5 career 20-point scoring games against Wake, is out with a foot injury.
Mason Plumlee (17.4 ppg 11.2 rpg) leads Duke in both scoring and rebounding and he and Seth Curry (15.7 ppg) give the Blue Devils a solid inside/outside game. Wake will have to play good defense tonight, as they are not a high scoring team ranking 165th in the nation in points per game.
FW Travis McKie (15.1 ppg 8 rpg) leads the Demon Deacons in scoring and rebounding and at 6’7″ he has use his muscle inside, especially facing the 6’10” Plumlee.
Wake Forrest will need good G play from Senior guard C.J. Harris, who is averaging 12.6 ppg in 5 career games against Duke and Codi Miller-McIntyre is averaging 8.3 ppg this season. Both can shoot the 3 well and they need to hit some long bombs tonight.
In some betting trends for this ACC match up Duke is 9-3 ATS in their last 12 road games, 8-3 ATS in their last 11 road games vs. a team with a winning home record, and they have an Over record of 4-0 in their last 4 games.
Wake Forrest is 5-0 ATS in their last 5 home games, 8-2 ATS in their last 10 games overall, and they have an Over record of 5-2 in their last 7 home games.
Jason’s Pick: Wake has not been playing well as of late, but at home they will play well and I do not see them winning, but they will cover against a double digit spread.
