Duke has beat Wake Forrest in 6 straight games.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n

Jason’s Pick:<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Duke vs Wake Forest Betting!
