Virginia looks to avenge a 72-70 loss at Duke on Jan. 19 when both teams shot better than 50 percent, but they combined for only 5-of-31 from 3-point range. De'Andre Hunter led the Cavaliers with 18 points and Kyle Guy and Ty Jerome added 14 points apiece in a losing cause. Now the Cavaliers get Duke on their home floor and they have won four straight since that game, including last Saturday's 56-46 win over Miami-Florida, which was held to 34.0 percent shooting and Hunter led the Cavaliers with 14 points. Virginia is 16-5 ATS this season and has yet to lose at home. Duke is just 2-7 ATS the last seven meetings and the Cavaliers are 36-14-1 ATS their last 51 games overall. The Cavaliers are only a slight favorite in this matchup, so go with Virginia on the moneyline.
