Who will have more points in the 1st half: Rodney Williams (Minnesota) or Chasson Randle (Stanford)
A quick note, Chasson Randle has the tiebreaker. If you first look at the stats, you will be misinformed. Randle is averaging 13.8 while Williams is scoring 11.2 PPG. In the NIT, it has been a different story. In the four tournament games, Williams has been on fire, averaging 21 PPG. Chasson Randle has stayed consistent at 13.8 PPG in the NIT. That is a 7.2 PPG difference in NIT play. Pick: Rodney Williams (Confidence: 4/5)
Who will win: San Jose Sharks or Phoenix Coyotes
This is another huge game to determine seeding in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Right now, San Jose is at 88 points while the Coyotes are at 87 points. Ahead of both teams in the Pacific is the Dallas Stars at 89 points. So after this game, we may have a three-way tie atop the Pacific. In the five games against the Sharks this year, the Coyotes have gone 3-1-1 and 2-0 when they are playing in Glendale. The Sharks in the past five are 3-2 while the Coyotes are 2-1-2. However, in the past three road games, San Jose has lost all of them. Also, Phoenix returns their captain, Shane Doan, from suspension tonight. Another reason I'm going with the Yotes tonight is the fact that they have been off since Sunday, waiting for this game. On the other hand, the Sharks just played last night in Anaheim (3-1 loss). Pick: Phoenix Coyotes (Confidence: 4/5)
