There’s rust concerns with the Duke Blue Devils considering they haven’t played a game since December 20, but they’re comfortably the better team here and entered their layoff playing their best ball of the season. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets have had issues this season whenever stepping up in competition, and they lack offensive depth outside their two scorers. Duke should be able to pull away in the second half. I’ll lay the chalk with the home team.
