The Spartans kept the Zion Williamson-led Duke club out of the Final Four last season with a mild upset in the Elite Eight. Now, the teams meet again and suddenly Michigan State is a sizable home chalk. It's not often you can buy low on Duke in the betting market, but this is one such time. its loss to SFA and subsequent lackluster outing against Winthrop has resulted in a rare discount on the Blue Devils. Take advantage of it.

When is the last time mighty Duke was spotted a half-dozen points? Given the youth on both sides, this matchup is fraught with the unpredictable, so siding with Coach K, who is 11-2 straight-up against Tom Izzo at Michigan State, is preferable even with freshman G Cassius Stanley (hamstring) out. The Blue Devils induce turnovers - their average of 18.8 ranks fourth in the nation - and will harass Spartans PG Cassius Winston.
