Less than a month ago, Duke lost three of four games, including a baffling home loss to North Carolina State. No one was writing an obituary by any means, but this was looking like a somewhat lost season with the injuries and distractions piling up at an alarming rate.

Fast forward three weeks, and Mike Krzyzewski has returned to the bench. Grayson Allen is playing better than he has all season. And Duke is riding its second-longest winning streak of the season with a showdown against Clemson on Saturday looming.

Here's how you can catch the game on TV or streaming online, along with odds on the game and a pick against the spread at the bottom.

Scouting report


Duke's stars have never shined brighter than they have recently. Allen scored 25 points in the Blue Devils' win over UNC on Thursday. Luke Kennard and Jayson Tatum are emerging as legitimate scorers as well. More importantly: The team is gelling.

With five players averaging double figures in scoring, Duke can beat you in a number of ways on offense.

For Clemson, high expectations, including those surrounding potential future NBA first-round pick Jaron Blossomgame, have yet to come to fruition. The Tigers opened ACC play 1-0, and lost eight of their next 11. Clemson did knock off Duke at home just a season ago, so it will be interesting to see if the Tigers can pull out another upset. But likely on the outside looking in for the NCAA Tournament, I'm not sure how motivated this team will be against a red-hot Duke team.

Matchups to watch


Despite Clemson's fall this season, it hasn't been because of Blossomgame. His rebounding and scoring are just a tick below his junior year, but he has added a 3-point element to his game that has boosted his draft stock and he has still been the No. 1 option for the team.

A 6-foot-7 forward, Blossomgame is an intriguing matchup, typically on the wing. For Duke, its best defensive matchup might be Jayson Tatum, who has played 70 percent of his time over the past five games at power forward, according to KenPom. Tatum has the athleticism and length to disrupt inside and on the perimeter, so expect him to likely to draw the assignment on Clemson's best player and leading scorer.

Odds and pick

SportsLine odds: Duke -12

SportsLine projection: Duke 77, Clemson 67

Pick: Duke -12

With Duke on a four-game winning streak, including a victory over No. 8 North Carolina, I think Cameron Indoor Stadium will be rocking Saturday to keep things rolling. If Duke can beat UNC by eight points, it surely can beat a struggling Clemson team by more than 10 at home.
