Clemson vs Duke Prediction & Pick

Duke might be the only ranked team here, but the Blue Devils are far from perfect. They're only 1-2 on the road, carrying a minus-4.5 scoring margin in those games. Duke's offense has also been sloppy lately, shooting 38.3% from the field with an average of 17.7 turnovers over the last three games.

Assuming Duke continues this underwhelming play, Clemson should be just fine. After all, the Tigers are a perfect 8-0 at Littlejohn Coliseum, where they've been outscoring opponents by an average of 13.6 points. They're also much more accurate than the Blue Devils, owning the 39th-best field-goal and 12th-best three-point percentages in all of college basketball.

In what should be a close game, back Clemson coming out on top.

Final Score Prediction: Clemson: 72 | Duke: 69

Clemson vs Duke Best Bet

No matter how many games they've won, the Blue Devils are hard to trust when it comes to the spread. In addition to being 1-5 against the spread (ATS) in its last six games, Duke is also an abysmal 1-10 ATS in its last 11 ACC contests.

On the flip side, Clemson has covered the spread in eight of its last nine games against conference rivals. Furthermore, the Tigers are also 5-1 ATS in their last six games.

Considering how Duke has failed to cover the spread in three straight outings, backing Clemson on the spread is clearly the way to go.

Bet: Clemson +1.5 (-114)
