The No. 2 Duke Blue Devils will try to remain undefeated in ACC play when they take on the Clemson Tigers at the Littlejohn Coliseum in Clemson, SC. The action is scheduled to get underway at 6:30 p.m. ET on ESPN. Duke is a 6.5-point road favorite over the home team Tigers.
Clemson enters the game in a position the Tigers are not accustomed to this season—coming off a loss. But it wasn’t just any old loss—it was a triple overtime loss against a Georgia Tech team they were 12-point favorites over. They had a chance to win in regulation and the double OT period, but they couldn’t put the Yellow Jackets away. Duke, on the other hand, is coming off its 16th consecutive win, an 83-54 road win over Syracuse. Freshman superstar Cooper Flagg only had a relatively quiet night with just 11 points but had scored 20+ in his previous four and a 42-point night a few weeks ago vs. Notre Dame. Flagg is a heavy favorite to win the Wooden Award this year. If Clemson is going to have a shot at an upset, they’ll need to figure out how to take him out of the game.

Our Clemson vs Duke Prediction
Clemson has a good team, one that will put a good show on for the home crowd against the No. 2 team in the nation. But the Tigers do not have the talent, depth, or athleticism to compete with a team as talented as the Blue Devils. After the disappointing loss to Georgia Tech the other night, the Tigers will come out focused and fired up. But Duke is the better team between the two, and that will become clear before the game ends.
Our Duke vs. Clemson Pick: Duke -6.5
