Stanford is coming off a big win against UNC this past week. Can the Cardinal carry that momentum into a big upset win on Saturday? Let's find out what the oddsmakers think.

Duke vs. Stanford Key Player to Watch

  • Cameron Boozer, G - Duke Blue Devils

It has largely become a two-man race to win the Wooden Award for the best player in college basketball between Cameron Boozer and A.J. Dybantsa of BYU. Boozer is set as the favorite at FanDuel ahead of this game, with -220 odds to win the award. He's leading Duke in points per game (22.8), rebounds (9.7), assists (4.1), and steals (1.7).

Duke vs. Stanford Prediction and Pick

Stanford doesn't have the shooting or the defense to be able to hang with this uber-talented Duke team. The Cardinal ranks just 179th in the country in effective field goal percentage and 94th in defensive efficiency. Duke ranks inside the top 20 in both of those metrics.

Duke loves to shoot the three-ball, but Stanford can't defend the perimeter either, allowing teams to shoot 33.1% from beyond the arc, which ranks 152nd in college basketball.

I'm going to lay the points with Duke as a road favorite.
