Players to Watch
Duke Blue Devils (26-3, 17-1 ACC)
- F Cooper Flagg: 19.3 PPG | 7.6 RPG | 4.1 APG | 1.6 SPG | 1.0 BPG
- G Kon Knueppel: 13.5 PPG | 3.9 RPG | 2.4 APG | 39.3% 3PT
- G Tyrese Proctor: 11.8 PPG | 3.2 RPG | 2.4 APG
Freshman sensation Cooper Flagg has been a force on both ends of the floor, leading the Blue Devils in scoring while also making an impact defensively. His versatility will be key against Wake Forest, as will the perimeter shooting of Kon Knueppel, who’s knocking down nearly 40% of his three-pointers.
It is worth noting, though, that Flagg is dealing with an eye injury.
Wake Forest Demon Deacons (20-9, 12-6 ACC)
- G Hunter Sallis: 18.5 PPG | 5.1 RPG | 2.8 APG | 1.2 SPG
- G Cameron Hildreth: 15.5 PPG | 3.9 RPG | 2.8 APG | 1.6 SPG
- F Tre’Von Spillers: 10.1 PPG | 7.6 RPG | 1.3 BPG
Wake Forest’s backcourt duo of Hunter Sallis and Cameron Hildreth has been red-hot, with Sallis scoring 20-plus points in four of his last six outings. If the Demon Deacons hope to keep pace with Duke, they’ll need a big night from their top scorers.

Duke has been nearly unbeatable at home, winning 15 straight games inside Cameron Indoor Stadium. The Blue Devils’ combination of offensive firepower and defensive intensity makes them a nightmare matchup for most teams. Wake Forest will need a near-perfect performance to keep this one close.
The Demon Deacons have enough talent to challenge Duke, especially if Sallis and Hildreth get hot early. However, given Duke’s depth, size, and home-court advantage, the Blue Devils should take care of business and extend their winning streak.
Prediction: Duke 84, Wake Forest 67
