Duke is putting up 92.7 points per game on offense this year while allowing 73.8 per contest on defense.

Bet on Pittsburgh vs. Duke

Duke has won four of its last five meetings with Pittsburgh, including an 87-52 win at Pitt just 10 days ago. The Blue Devils were able to dominate Pitt on the road and should be able to do the same at home, with or without Bagley. Pitt doesn’t have much to bring to the court without its top player and nobody has been able to step up in Luther’s place. The public betting is strong with Duke as well today.
