Stephen Nover's Free CBB Tuesday Play
(NCAAB) Duke vs. Florida State, 01/18/2022 9:00 PM, Score: 78 - 79
Point Spread: 5.00 | -110.00 Florida State (Home)
Result: Win
Duke is starting to regain its elite form after not playing from Dec. 23-Jan. 3. This will be the Blue Devils' fifth game since then - and toughest matchup.

Mike Krzyewski says his Blue Devils are not yet in peak physical shape. Florida State has a huge front line , makes nearly 35 percent of its 3-point shots and can force turnovers. These things are all needed to upset Duke. Florida State has them. So this is a dangerous matchup for Duke. The Blue Devils also are playing outside of North Carolina for the first time since November.

Florida State is likely to be without Malik Osborne. He missed the Seminoles' victory at Syracuse this past Saturday because of an ankle injury. Osborne is the Seminoles' top rebounder and second-leading scorer. Florida State has a deep bench, though. Its reserves outscored Syracuse's, 29-4.

The Seminoles are 14-1 in their last 15 home games, including 6-1 this season. Duke is 5-11 ATS the past 16 times when playing on the road against an opponent with a winning home mark. This also has been an underdog series with the 'dog covering four of the past five times.

(Editor's note: Stephen Nover is a blazing 10-1 on his premium plays the past three days.)
