Scouting Report: Everything to know about Wake Forest before Monday’s game

Duke will try to sweep a three-game home stand on Monday. What kind of team should they expect in the Wake Forest Demon Deacons?

The Duke men’s basketball team gets a third straight game in front of the Cameron Indoor crowd on Monday night when they host Wake Forest, and the Blue Devils look to end their home stand with a three-game win streak.

Duke battled back from a few off games from beyond the 3-point line against Notre Dame and Boston College, even losing the lead for a minute late in the first half against the Eagles, but the Blue Devils have won their past two games by 33 combined points.

The Demon Deacons won’t be an easy out, however. Wake Forest is the third-highest team in the ACC in KenPom’s adjusted efficiency metric at 28th, and they have the offense to compete with anyone night in and night out.

Here’s a primer for everything you need to know about Wake Forest before the 7 p.m. tipoff.
