Duke at Miami picks and predictions

Prediction

Duke 75, Miami 71

Moneyline

PASS.

There is no value in betting on Duke (-300), which is 8-2 in its last 10, to beat Miami, which is 3-7 in its last 10, including 0-4 in its last 4.

While the Blue Devils are reasonable heavy favorites, Miami is 11-3 on its home court and could give them a run for their money.

Against the spread

BET MIAMI +6.5 (-110).

Duke has covered in 4 straight, but that streak comes after a 1-5 ATS stretch from Jan. 13-Feb. 3. It faces a Miami squad that is 5-4 ATS in its last 9 and covered as a 4-point underdog in its last home game against UNC. The Hurricanes are 3-0 ATS in their last 3 home games and pose a threat to the Blue Devils Wednesday.
