The Clemson Tigers will be back at it again on the hardwood on Monday evening, as they will host the North Dakota Fighting Hawks for their third game of the season. Clemson has gotten off to a 2-0 start with early-season, non-conference wins over the Stetson Hatters and the American Eagles. Although it has not been easy for Brad Brownell's team so far, the Tigers are showing that they have some grit.
This will be the third tune-up game of sorts for the Tigers before they host the Georgetown Hoyas out of the Big East on Friday night at Littlejohn Coliseum. After that, they will have one more tune-up game against the Citadel Bulldogs next Monday evening before the Tigers will travel to Hawaii for three games as a part of the Maui Invitational. It is all about rounding into form ahead of that big trip.
Here are the latest betting odds for the North Dakota game, how to watch it, and a final prediction.

Clemson Tigers vs. North Dakota Fighting Hawks game prediction
Following Liutauras Lelevicius' breakout performance against American, the Tigers now have a go-to scorer in all areas of the floor. Lelevicius' smooth stroke from distance perfectly complements Ace Buckner's ability to get points in the backcourt and Dylan Faulkner's dynamic play down low. If two of these players go off, Clemson should cover the 21.5-point spread, but that is easier said than done.
Look for at least one of them to score around 20 points on Monday night. What would be great to see is Cole Certa's shots start to fall from beyond the arc, as well as the rotation to really come into form. Again, Clemson will be facing a step up in competition on Friday when the Tigers host Georgetown. After that, the Tigers' mettle will truly be tested when they have to try their luck over in Hawaii later on.
Clemson will score 80-plus points in this game, but will not have enough defensive firepower to cover.
Final score prediction: Clemson 84, North Dakota 67.
