Duke will step into a hostile environment at Clemson on Saturday, but the energy of the crowd won’t be enough to stop the Blue Devils from securing a victory. The Tigers simply don’t match up well against a Duke squad that thrives in areas where Clemson struggles.
One major issue for the Tigers is their turnover margin, which ranks dead last in the ACC. That’s a dangerous weakness against a Duke team that just posted a season-high in points off turnovers against Syracuse. Clemson does have a solid perimeter game, but Duke counters that strength with the second-best three-point defense in the conference.
On the offensive end, the Blue Devils are among the most efficient teams in the ACC, ranking second in field goal percentage and leading the conference in three-pointers made per game. Clemson, on the other hand, sits in the middle of the pack defensively, ranking eighth in field goal defense and seventh in three-point defense—far from the kind of resistance needed to slow down Duke’s high-powered attack.
The biggest edge for Duke will be on the boards. The Blue Devils are the best rebounding team in the ACC and rank in the top five nationally, while Clemson struggles in this department, sitting at just 10th in the conference.
Clemson may come out firing, fueled by the home crowd, but Duke’s depth, efficiency, and relentless rebounding will eventually wear the Tigers down. Expect the Blue Devils to take control in the second half and leave with a convincing win. Take Duke ATS
