Maliq Brown - Doubtful against NC StateBrown (knee) is doubtful for Duke's game Monday against North Carolina State, according to Conor O'Neill of Rivals.com.

ImpactBrown did not play during Duke's game Saturday at Wake Forest. During the Blue Devils' pregame warmup, he was seen wearing sweats. Considering then and barely multiple days until Monday, O'Neill believes its including an available Brown would be a miracle.

Individually, Flagg leads Duke in scoring (19.5 ppg), rebounding (8.0 rpg) and assists (4.2 apg), with the latter being particularly impressive while operating at the power forward position.

Mason Gillis - Picking up with Brown outGillis had 11 points (4-7 FG, 3-6 3Pt) and six rebounds across 23 minutes during Saturday's 63-56 win over Wake Forest.

ImpactBoth scoring and minutes are down for Gillis in his fifth collegiate season (first with Duke), but he remains one of the primary reserves for the Blue Devils and has been picking up his play of late. He's recorded double-digit scoring in two of three games for the first time this season, while also pulling down six rebounds in back-to-back contests. The uptick can be directly attributed to the absence of Maliq Brown (knee), who has missed the last three games but recently returned to practice in a non-contact capacity.
