Best NBA Parlay Picks Today, Friday 04/17 (5-Leg) Featuring Moussa Diabate!: Calculated Risk, High Reward

As the Warriors gear up to face the Suns in Phoenix, Draymond Green's assist total presents a compelling opportunity for bettors. While he's been a playmaker for Golden State, averaging 8 assists in his last five games, his away performances tell a different story. On the road, he dips to 6.6 per game, and against the Suns, he's managed just 3.4 assists in their recent encounters-numbers that suggest a significant drop-off.Moreover, considering his last 17 away games, he's only surpassed that 7.5 mark four times, hitting the under in an impressive 13 of those. With the Suns' defense tightening up and the Warriors likely to rely on their scoring stars, Green's role might shift away from setting up plays. This context makes the under on 7.5 assists not only enticing but a smart play for this matchup.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-227)

As the Orlando Magic gear up to host the Charlotte Hornets, eyes will be on Desmond Bane, but not for the reasons many might expect. Bane, despite his strong performances at home, has been averaging just 20.2 points, 3 rebounds, and 4 assists in his last five games. Against the Hornets, he's managed a modest 16.2 points per game at home, which casts doubt on whether he can surpass that lofty 30.5 mark when combining points, rebounds, and assists.With Bane hitting the under in 4 out of his last 5 games, recent trends indicate he may struggle to hit that combined total. The sharp focus from the Magic's defense and Bane's average of only 3.6 assists against Charlotte at home further support the notion that he may fall short of that number. So, betting the under could be a savvy move as the game unfolds.

Gui Santos (Golden State Warriors) Under 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-213)

As the Warriors gear up to face the Suns, all eyes will be on Gui Santos, and this may be a classic case of expecting too much. Let's dive into the numbers: Santos' average over his last five games sits at a modest 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists. When he hits the road, those numbers dip to 11.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists. That's a clear trend of struggle away from home.Against Phoenix specifically, he's averaged just 7.2 points. In fact, when he plays in their arena, that number barely nudges up to 8.2. His hit rate shows that he's gone under this mark in three of the last four games, and the Warriors have a solid defense that could limit his contributions further. With an expected stat value of just 14.43, betting the under on Santos at 23.5 seems like

Jalen Green (Phoenix Suns) Under 21.5 Points (-196)

As Jalen Green steps onto the court against the Warriors, there's a compelling case to target the Under on his points total at 21.5. Despite his scoring prowess, recent history suggests he may fall short this time around. Averaging just 20 points in his last five games, Green has struggled against Golden State, managing only 9.6 points per game in their recent matchups. At home, that figure rises slightly to 14.6, but it still doesn't align with the lofty 21.5 line set for Saturday's contest.Consider that his hit rate has dipped to 2 out of 3 in his last three games, and he's only cleared this mark 12 times out of his last 17 home appearances. With the Suns focusing on a balanced offensive attack, it seems prudent to expect Green to stay under that 21.5 threshold as he navigates a tough matchup against a disciplined Warriors defense.
