FiveStarPick.com had a split decision last night as Lebron James and the Cavs missed out on a sure home court cover as 13-point favorites.  The Kings kept it close in a 117-110 loss.  Purdue covered, but the night ended up like kissing your sister.  We hate that!  Today we are previewing tonight’s ACC matchup between two of the nation’s top 10 teams as the Duke Blue Devils make the short road trip to Winston-Salem to take on the Wake Forest Demon Deacons.  Las Vegas sportsbooks list the Dukies as 1-point road favorites with the total currently hovering around 152.

Duke (18-1 straight up, 11-7 against the spread) crushed Maryland Saturday as a 15.5-point home favorite, 85-44. The Blue Devils are now 3-1 ATS in their last 4 outings with that victory and the Under is 5-1-1 in their last seven.  The Blue Devils are 5-1 SU and 4-2 ATS on the road, but Duke’s lone loss of the season occurred at Michigan December 6th when they lost 81-73 as a 10-point road favorite.

Wake Forest (16-1 SU, 8-5 ATS) fell to Virginia Tech last Wednesday as a 13-point home favorite, 78-71. That loss broke a five-game winning streak ATS. The combined 149 points went over the 144-point closing total, ending back-to-back Under outings.

Now let’s talk trends…Wake Forest is 8-1 SU at home but just 3-2 ATS, winning those affairs by an average score of 84-62. Duke and Wake Forest have split the last two meetings SU and ATS, with the home team prevailing each time.
