Freshman Javin DeLaurier impressed in Duke's exhibition opener with his energy off the bench. 

The Blue Devils will finish exhibition play Friday night when they host Division II national champions Augustana at 8 p.m. at Cameron Indoor Stadium. The contest marks the eighth straight year Duke has hosted the Division II national champions in exhibition play. 

The No. 1 Blue Devils routed Virginia State 90-59 last week in their exhibition opener led by 30 points from Luke Kennard, and will look to stay sharp a week before their regular season opener. Ahead of Friday's game, The Chronicle's Amrith Ramkumar and Mitchell Gladstone broke down what to watch for, including the team's health as it nurses several nagging injuries.
