UNLV-Duke players to watch for Saturday’s game

Five players to watch when the UNLV basketball team plays Duke at 2:15 p.m. Saturday at T-Mobile Arena:

1. Amile Jefferson, senior forward, Duke. He averages a double-double (15.6 points, 10.3 rebounds) and has posted three 15-15 games this season. Jefferson is surrounded by talent, so he is one of at least three players who could be the Blue Devils’ player to watch.

2. Luke Kennard, sophomore guard, Duke. He has made the most of increased playing time over last season, getting an average of nine more minutes. Kennard leads the Blue Devils with 20.
