Clemson vs. Wake Forest Key Stats
The Wake Forest Demon Deacons started the season with a four-game winning streak, which included victories over La Salle and Georgia. It was a moderately difficult start to the season because none of the four games had the Demon Deacons favored by more than 13 points.
They were 6-point favorites when they suffered their first loss to LMU two weeks ago in a neutral-venue game, but they have since gone on a three-game winning streak. The Demon Deacons are averaging 36.5% from the 3-point line, and have a hefty average of 56% shooting from inside the 3-point line. They will face the Tigers' defense, which ranks 82nd in terms of defensive field goal percentage.
The Clemson Tigers have won four of their first five games this season. Their lone loss came in their second game of the season against South Carolina. The Tigers' other defeat came in a 74-71 decision in the Emerald Coast Classic semifinals against then-No. 25 Iowa.
They defeated California 67-59 in their third-place game to get back on track. On Tuesday, they defeated Penn State 101-94 in double overtime. The Tigers shoot 39.7% of their 3-point attempts, ranking 20th in 3-point percentage and 50th in effective field goal percentage, respectively. The Demon Deacons' defense, which ranks No. 95 in terms of effective field goal percentage, will look to stop the Tigers' potent offense.
Clemson vs. Wake Forest Betting Prediction
Hall's earlier performance this week displayed glimmers of his prior form, which might be bad news for the Demon Deacons for tonight's game. Additionally, the Tigers are coming into this game with an eight-game home winning streak, and they have won nine of the last 10 games between these two groups.
They have managed to defeat the Wake Forest Demon Deacons on nine straight occasions at home, and that trend shouldn't stop tonight. The Clemson Tigers will get the win and cover the spread.
Pick: Tigers -2.5 (-115)
