Georgia Tech at Duke: Three things to know
- The Yellow Jackets gave a good effort but fell to the Virginia Cavaliers 64-62 Saturday. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for a Georgia Tech five which has yielded just 63.8 points per game over six games since Dec. 18.
- Duke is 5-0 when scoring at least 75 points and 0-5 when scoring less than 75. The Devils’ last three games fit into the latter group, and that’s a program first since 2016. On its current skid, Duke has shot just 41.3% from the floor and 29.3% from beyond the 3-point arc.
- Georgia Tech has found a groove from 3-point-land, and that’s made the Yellow Jackets much more dangerous offensively. GTU connected on just 29.5% of its distance looks in its first five games; the Jackets have shot 46.3% since. Georgia Tech’s 38.3% mark for the season ranks fourth in the ACC.

Georgia Tech at Duke: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Duke 73, Georgia Tech 68
Money line (ML)
Georgia Tech hasn’t beaten Duke since 2010. Peg the Jackets as having a better-than-1-in-3 chance here, so there is a bit of value in a GEORGIA TECH +200 play.
Against the spread (ATS)
Duke is 0-6 ATS in its last six games as a home favorite. GTU is 10-3 ATS over its last 13 games after a loss.
The Devils are 1-9 ATS overall. Usually, a mark like that against an ATS winner in a conference game is a decent angle but the Yellow Jackets’ recent play makes them an intriguing lean. That’s if they get enough of a cushion.
Back GEORGIA TECH +6.5 (-120).
Over/Under (O/U)
A middling pace is expected, and this total is draped all over the probable game-flow outcomes. PASS.
