After a great start to the campaign with three wins in four home games, Oregon State will hit the road for the first time when it takes on Duke on Thursday.
Undoubtedly, the toughest game the team has had so far and for which it will have to work hard on the offensive end, since the 70.5 points the team averages per game ranks 38th in the nation. Still, the Beavers are shooting a good 47% from the field, something they will have to take full advantage of.
Defensively, they have also done a decent job, allowing opponents 64.5 points per game, and they are 41st team in the nation with the lowest field goal percentage allowed at 41% .
On offense, the team’s two main players are the duo of Glenn Taylor Jr. and Jordan Pope. The former averages 16.3 points per game thanks to a good 52.5% shooting from the field, while Pope scores 15.5 points per game helped by an excellent 40% from long distance.
Betting on Duke Blue Devils
- Regular season record: 4-1.
- Spread: -24.0.
- BetMGM Moneyline: (-10000).
- Over/Under: 138.5.
Despite their loss to Kansas last week, Duke is off to a great start this season, and the team is ranked eighth in the nation in the latest AP rankings update.
The Blue Devils have based their play on a solid defense that allows opponents to score just 53.2 points per game, the 11th lowest figure in the circuit. In addition, under the board they do not allow many second chances by collecting an average of 25 defensive rebounds per game, the eighth best figure in the league .
Still, they need to improve a bit on the offensive end, where they are averaging just 44.3% shooting from the field, which ranks 186th in the nation. For now the 77.0 points they average per game are enough to back up a great defense, but against solid teams like Kansas, they could be in a lot of trouble.
The team’s top scorer is Kyle Filipowski, who so far is averaging a double-double with 15.6 points per game and 10.4 rebounds.
JefeBet Prediction
Offensively Duke has not started the season well, but against Bellarmine the situation could change considerably considering the lack of defensive solidity shown so far.
On their part, the Blue Devils’ defense is one of the most solid defenses in the league, and it will have no problem giving another great performance on the scoreboard.
Prediction: Duke Spread.
