Duke vs Georgia Tech Basketball Predictions & Best Bets
Duke is on the road playing Georgia Tech at the McCamish Pavilion stadium on Saturday, 1/28/2023 @ 3:00pm EST. Duke -7 was the opening favorite and current line is Duke -8.
An interesting ACC showdown between the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Duke Blue Devils will take place at McCamish Pavilion on Saturday night. Duke still sits four wins ahead of the Yellow Jackets in conference play, despite both teams being in the bottom half of the ACC standings. Although the Blue Devils lost their last game, the Yellow Jackets are also on a six-game losing streak. Even on the road, Duke has nine wins in ten meetings between these two teams, so they'll like their chances.
Aiming to right the ship, the Blue Devils
As a result of bringing in quite a few talented freshmen, Duke had high hopes for the season, but it has taken time for this group to gel. In the ACC standings, they are right in the middle and are struggling to find consistency and momentum. In their last three games, the Blue Devils have lost two and won one. Although the Yellow Jackets are a talented team, their 1-4 road record this season leaves a lot to be desired. It is unlikely that Duke's nine wins in the last ten in this series will shake their confidence heading into this one. This is even though they lost the last time these two faced off in Atlanta.
The yellow jackets are limping along
With just one win in conference play, Georgia Tech will be hoping that being at home can change its fortunes. They've lost five straight games, including three at home, extending their home record to 7-5. While the Yellow Jackets did win when these two teams met just a few seasons ago in Georgia, the talent discrepancy might be too much for the home court to overcome. In the next few weeks, the schedule opens up, and if they can spring an upset here, they might be able to string together a few wins. With the handful of losses they have suffered to Duke and the recent losing streak, confidence might be their biggest issue at the moment.
The Blue Devils are destined to bounce back in this one, and the frontcourt will play a major role in doing so. Due to Duke's size in the frontcourt, which is one of their major advantages, the Yellow Jackets struggle to stop opponents on the offensive glass. It's also not enough for Georgia Tech to keep pace in this one with only one double-figure scorer. In this one, the Blue Devils' confidence will shine through after dominating this rivalry for a few years. Georgia Tech has been 0-4 ATS in its last four games, including 0-4 ATS on Saturdays. Moreover, the favorite has won 25 out of 36 meetings between these two teams ATS.
