Clemson vs. Duke Key Player to Watch

Cameron Boozer, F - Duke Blue Devils

Cameron Boozer is already the best player in the country, but now his role with Duke will become even more important as Caleb Foster is set to miss the conference tournament. Boozer is averaging an ultra-impressive 22.7 points, 10.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.5 steals. He recorded 18 points, eight rebounds, and four assists in Duke's regular-season meeting against the Tigers.

Clemson vs. Duke Prediction and Pick

Duke is certainly the better team, but the numbers are too close between these two teams to justify a 10.5-point spread, especially with Caleb Foster sidelined. Clemson ranks 109th in defensive efficiency, but where the Tigers thrive the most is on defense. Clemson ranks 39th in the country in defensive efficiency.

Clemson also does a great job of not turning the ball over, ranking 36th in turnovers per possession. If they can play disciplined basketball and not cough the ball up, they may not win, but they're going to make it difficult for Duke to pull away.

Pick: Clemson +10.5 (-106)
