Duke
Moneyline Pick: Duke (-320) - A

Duke’s explosive backcourt has powered a three-game surge, while Alabama just halted a two-game skid in dramatic fashion. The Crimson Tide’s center remains day-to-day with a nagging shoulder injury, which looms large against Duke’s intimidating interior presence. Historically, the Blue Devils’ sharpshooters have tormented Alabama, piling on consistent points when these squads clash. With both teams in the Elite Eight, the stakes continue to escalate, making Duke’s momentum and depth too potent to ignore. This wager offers a favorable risk-reward balance, earning a confident A rating. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Over/Under Pick: Over 174.5 Points, (+120) - B+

Alabama’s top sharpshooter aims to snap the team’s current two-game skid while Duke roars in on a four-game heater, setting the stage for an intense offensive sprint in this much-anticipated rematch. The Crimson Tide’s starting power forward remains out with a shoulder issue, leaving a gap in the paint that Duke’s historically dominant center can exploit for extra putbacks. Meanwhile, Alabama’s guard tandem has shown consistent success from beyond the arc against the Blue Devils, hinting at soaring combined totals as both squads push the tempo. Taking the Over grades out at a solid B+ for its respectable likelihood of cashing in and the decent payoff. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Spread Pick: Alabama, +7 (-115) - B+

Alabama’s energetic frontcourt leader has returned to the active roster after a brief injury scare, hoping to snap the team’s two-game losing skid against a Duke squad roaring through a three-game win streak. Although Duke is renowned for consistently breaking opponents’ spirits on their home court, the Crimson Tide has performed admirably in recent conference matchups, especially when their top playmakers are healthy. With Duke’s leading guard nursing a minor ankle concern, the door opens slightly for Alabama to counter the Blue Devils’ favored pace and keep things tighter than the spread suggests. This pick offers a decent payout for those backing the Tide to cover, showcasing that the underdog may still pack a punch. Crimson wave rising, the prediction leans on Alabama to keep this showdown within striking distance. Odds and availability are subject to change.
