This is a 10* Play on DUKE.

This is a matchup that always attracts a lot of attention nationally as you have two famous coaches who have guided their respective programs to National Championships. But, let's face it. Duke has a sizable edge coming into this meeting and that's true whether or not Zion Williamson is able to play Monday. The Blue Devils are #1 in the country and will stay that way thanks to a last second three-pointer that beat Florida State, 80-78, on Saturday. Williamson was poked in the eye and missed the entire second half. Coach K has gone on record as saying "he (Zion) is better now." Either way, a big edge to the Blue Devils, who are so far and away the best team in the country this year and playing at home. Syracuse is off a 73-59 loss to Georgia Tech, a game they were favored to win by 8.5-points. That game was at home too. Their 2-3 zone got torched for nearly 60% shooting by the Yellow Jackets. Duke has the depth and talent necessary to overcome a possible Williamson absence and the fact is they're outscoring opponents by almost 35 points per game here in Durham. Syracuse hasn't played many road games and this one won't be very fun. Play on DUKE
