Arizona vs Duke

Arizona’s star C dominated early in the season, but the Wildcats enter this matchup on a two-game skid, while Duke rides a four-contest win streak that has bolstered its confidence heading into the late stretch of over 41 games, bringing heightened postseason stakes. Despite a lingering ankle concern for Arizona’s starting C that may limit his snaps, Duke remains relatively unscathed in key positions such as G and D, allowing their top guard—who historically scores big against the Wildcats—to continue his steady on-court leadership. The Blue Devils’ recent momentum, combined with an edge in player health and a proven track record against Arizona, swings the moneyline in their favor.

Arizona’s backcourt has snapped a brief two-game skid, and despite their 14-6-24-12 record, the Wildcats must cope with the absence of their starting center due to a nagging ankle concern. Meanwhile, Duke is on a four-game surge boosted by its 19-1-33-3 mark and must decide whether the team’s leading rebounder, who has been dealing with a sore knee, can suit up. Historically, Duke’s sharpshooting guard has torched Arizona from outside, while Arizona’s power forward consistently racks up points in the paint against the Blue Devils. The combination of Duke’s lights-out shooting and Arizona’s explosive transition offense points to taking the Over here, with a respectable payout at +105 if it hits. Odds and availability are subject to change.

Duke continues to ride a four-game winning streak, showcasing the kind of consistent teamwork that has boosted its overall record to an impressive 19-1 in conference play and 33-3 overall. Arizona, meanwhile, comes in on a two-game slide, and that recent dip in form combined with the absence of one of their top guards due to an ankle injury could expose gaps against the Blue Devils’ relentless pressure. Historically, Duke has fared well against Pac-12 contenders, especially at home, where the crowd energizes their transition offense. Take the Blue Devils to cover a hefty spread and aim for a profitable return on a high-powered performance. (Tagline: Banking on a powerful Blue Devils surge.)
