The Duke Blue Devils have been overpowering opponents all season, with a 19-1 record, and 8-0 in the conference. They'll be visiting the Hokies, a team who they've dominated in the past, and looking to continue their winning streak at the moment.
They are currently led by their star player, Cameron Boozer (son of former player Carlos Boozer) who leads the team in points (23.5 ppg), rebounds (9.9 rpg) and assists (4.1 apg). He will most likely be the centered focus on their offensive side, while Patrick Ngongba will be serving as their defensive anchor at the back.
Virginia Tech is having a decent season at 16-6 so far, however, their conference play could be much better (5-4 ACC record). They have lost 2 out of their last 5 games and are looking to prevent another defeat at the hands of their neighbouring state rivals.
The Hokies dont have a specific big time socrer like other teams but are led by Amani Hansberry with 14.8 points per game. Neoklis Avdalas is leading the way as the playmaker with 4.9 assists, which is also not huge numbers but gets the job done.
The fact that the Blue Devils havent lost all season, tells us that its unlikely they are losing this match. The Hokies will make their best effort to defend their homecourt, but all odds are pointing towards an easy Duke win.
Our recomendation is to bet on Duke on the spread for this game since the moneyline might be to expensive.
