Riding a rare two-game win streak, North Carolina returns home for its final game of the season in the Smith Center as Wake Forest visits Tuesday night for a 7 pm tip.

The Tar Heels picked up wins over N.C. State and Syracuse last week but the Demon Deacons also notched two wins beating Duke and Notre Dame.

UNC is 12-17 overall and 5-13 in the ACC while the Demon Deacons are 13-15 and 6-12.

Here are our picks:

The Heels will face Wake Forest on senior night in what will be a battle between two of the worst teams in the ACC. Revenge will be on UNC’s mind after one of its worst performances of the season in Winston-Salem resulted in a blowout loss. But this Carolina team continues its hot streak and wins comfortably. Prediction: UNC 81, Wake 69.

Senior night always brings motivation for the home team, but this time around Carolina already has plenty with Wake Forest coming to the Smith Center. Both teams are playing some of their best basketball of the season so doing the little things will decide the outcome. Unlike the first meeting, the Tar Heels need to be focused and ready to play from the jump. Prediction: UNC 84, Wake 74.

North Carolina is playing some great hoops right now. Getting everyone back heathy has been a plus along with the improved play from Christian Keeling. I expect Garrison Brooks to have another great outing and Cole Anthony to play outstanding as the floor general. Prediction: UNC 87, Wake 75.

I expect another good game from Keeling, who has really turned it on the last eight games. If Brooks and Anthony continue to be the best players on the floor, the Tar Heels should win this one comfortably. I am not even going to mention the revenge factor....oh wait, I just did. Prediction: UNC 92, Wake 79.

Who would’ve thought a game between the two teams at the bottom of the ACC would come into this week playing their best basketball of the season? The Tar Heels have a chance to send their seniors out on a good note. This game will be difficult, but the difference maker will be Garrison Brooks inside. Prediction: UNC 83, Wake 76.

Maybe revenge will play a role in how the Tar Heels approach this game, but more important is that they feel good about themselves and appear to have collectively seen the light. Cole Anthony’s game management has been huge and Christian Keeling producing as many originally expected takes the Heels to another level as long as Garrison Brooks, Brandon Robinson and Leaky Black are doing their things, too. That will happen against an improving Deacs team. Prediction: UNC 80, Wake 71.

Average THI prediction: UNC 84.5, Wake 74.
