Duke vs North Carolina Betting Prediction

Here is our Duke vs North Carolina Betting prediction.

Friday night at 6:30pmET, No. 7 North Carolina (24-6 SU, 16-3 ACC) plays host to No. 9 Duke (24-6 SU, 15-4 ACC) in the last game of the regular season for both teams at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham.

On February 3, these two teams played in Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels won 93–84, even though they were only a 5-point favorite. When it comes to Duke, Jared McClan had 23 points and 11 boards. His 25 points and 10 boards made it a great game for the Heels.

UNC Tar Heels Betting Prediction

First, we have the Duke vs North Carolina Betting prediction for the Tar Heels.

NC is one of the best teams in the country and the best team in the ACC this season. Surprisingly, the new NCAA Net Rankings put them 10th, one spot behind No. 9 Duke. The new Bracketology report from Joe Lunardi ranks the Tar Heels as No. 2 in the East, just behind No. 1 UConn. It also ranks Duke as No. 3 in the South.

UNC might be able to beat those teams and get a No. 1 seed, but those teams would have to lose right away for that to happen. Also, the Tar Heels would have to beat Duke on Saturday and maybe again in the ACC Tournament final. In any case, Hubert Davis and his Tar Heels have had a great season. They have won five straight games leading up to this one.

When you play a game in this rivalry before or after a Duke game, it can be a “look-ahead” or “letdown” game. But on Senior Day at the Dean Smith Center on March 5, North Carolina beat Notre Dame 84–51.

The win gave the Heels at least a share of the ACC regular-season title. The Irish could only shoot 31% of the time, and 26% (5-19) from long range. In his last home game, R.J. Davis had 22 points and six assists to lead Carolina. Bacot had 14 points and five boards.

KenPom ranks the Heels 8th overall, 26th in adjusted offensive efficiency, and 6th in adjusted defensive efficiency. Davis scores the most points for the Tar Heels, with 21.5 per game. He also has 3.5 assists and shoots 43.4% (41.7% 3pt). Bacot scores 14 points, grabs 10.2 boards, and blocks 1.6 shots.

He shoots 54.7% from the field and 77.7% from the free throw line. This season, UNC has had great defense, letting opponents score 69.8 points on 40.3% shooting (20th) and 31% from long range (37th). They score 81.5 points a game on attack, making 44.8% of their shots and 35.6% of their three-point shots. With a Rebound Rate of 54.5%, they are also the 17th best team in the country at getting balls back.

Duke Blue Devils Betting Prediction

Now, we have the Duke vs North Carolina Betting prediction for the Blue Devils.

It’s kind of like beating Army in football to beat North Carolina. You lose the right to talk about your basketball skills if you don’t win at least one game in The Triangle, which is home to NC State. They’re not important this season, though, and the Blue Devils are becoming one of the more dangerous teams in the tournament.

Even though you might not think they’ll win it all (+2200 Draft Kings), they could be a dangerous team in the tournament. Caleb Foster, a rookie guard, has missed the last three games because of an injury to his leg against Wake Forest. His return could be helpful. The Blue Devils beat NC State (79–64) on the road and Louisville (84-59) and Virginia (73–48) at home. They could use him in the playoffs, though.

Foster is the team’s long (6-foot-5), 7.7-point, and 2.1-assist point guard. He makes 40.6% of his three-point shots. He might not play on Saturday, though. Duke is still very good even without Foster. In Monday’s win over NC State, Jeremy Roach scored 21 points and McCain scored 16 points and grabbed five rebounds.

There are lots of ways the Blue Devils can beat you. Center Kyle Filipowski is 7 feet tall and can make 35.4% of his three-point shots. He leads the team with 16.5 points, 8 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game. With 49.3% shooting and 44% from three-point range, Roach, the senior guard, adds 14.3 points and 3.1 assists.

Duke scores 80.2 points a game on average, hitting 48.5% from the field (22nd) and 38% from long range (13th). It takes 42.9% of their shots to make them score, and 31.9% of their long-range shots miss. Duke gets a lot of boards; their Rebound Rate of 54.1% ranks them 23rd in the country.

Duke vs North Carolina Betting Pick

Duke is a good team, but this North Carolina team is very skilled and strong. Filipowski has a much better chance of making it to the NBA than Bacot, but he’s not as strong. This season, North Carolina is the better team and plays better defense. Elliot Cadeau, a freshman point guard, has been running the point and letting R.J.

Davis play more off the ball. People who are crazy about Cameron will try to do their own thing, but will they bother pros like Davis and Bacot who have been there and done that? They are better now that Harrison Ingram, a move from Stanford, is on the team. He had 21 points, 13 boards, and 4 steals in the first game.
