Five keys to a Duke basketball victory against Michigan State

Duke basketball vs. Michigan State prediction

With everything factored in, this will be yet another classic between two elite programs on the national stage.

Michigan State will jump out to an early lead, but behind the star power of Jalen Johnson, timely 3-pointers from Joey Baker, and the defense of Wendell Moore and Jordan Goldwire, Duke will seize control in the second half and not look back.

Duke will have two more games this week before next Tuesday’s showdown with another Big Ten foe, No. 5 Illinois.

PREDICTION: Duke 85, Michigan State 77
