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

As the Warriors head into Phoenix, all eyes will be on Draymond Green, but the numbers suggest a quieter night for the veteran. While he's averaged a respectable 8 assists over his last five outings, those figures take a dip to just 6.6 when he's on the road. The Suns' defense has been particularly stingy, limiting Green to a mere 3.4 assists per game in their last few matchups-both at home and away.Additionally, in his last 17 road games, he's only surpassed the 7.5 assists mark four times. With the Warriors facing a Suns team that prioritizes defensive cohesion, expecting Draymond to distribute freely feels ambitious. His recent form, combined with these historical trends, strongly leans toward the under. With a projected average of just 4.6 assists, it's tough to see Green reaching that 7.5 threshold in this matchup.

Jalen Green (Phoenix Suns) Under 22.5 Points (-233)

As the Phoenix Suns take on the Golden State Warriors, all eyes will be on Jalen Green, but bettors might want to consider the under on his points total at 22.5. Green has been solid overall, averaging 20 points over his last five games, yet his production tends to dip against tougher defenses like Golden State. In their previous encounters, he's only managed about 9.6 points per game against them, and even at home, his average sits around 14.6-a significant drop from his total line.The Suns' offensive schemes can limit his touches, especially with the firepower surrounding him. With a hit rate of 12 out of 17 for the under at home combined with an expected stat value of just 14.91, this could be the perfect storm for a lower-scoring night. So, while Green is a rising star, tonight might not be his night to shine.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-233)

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, Desmond Bane's recent performance suggests we target the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists set at 30.5. Over the past five games, he's averaged just 17.4 points, alongside 2.6 rebounds and 3 assists-numbers far from the lofty total required here. Even at home, where he's slightly better, his contributions hover around 20.2 points, 3 boards, and 4 assists.Against the Hornets, Bane's averages dip even further, with only 16.2 points and 3.6 assists when on his home court. With a hit rate of just 4 out of 5 in his last games, it's clear that while he's a valuable player, tonight's matchup may not allow him to eclipse that total. Expect him to fall short as the Magic look to capitalize on a strong team effort instead of relying heavily on one player

Gui Santos (Golden State Warriors) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds (-227)

As the Golden State Warriors head to Phoenix, all eyes might be on their stars, but let's focus on Gui Santos for a moment. Betting on him to hit the under on 20.5 points and rebounds feels like a smart move. Over his last five games, Santos is averaging just 14.8 points and 4.8 rebounds, which falls short of that mark. When he's away, those numbers dip even further, reflecting an average of only 11.8 points and 6.4 rebounds. Historically, he's struggled against Phoenix, averaging just 7.2 points when facing them, and even lower away from home at 8.2. He's hit the under in three of his last four outings, and when playing on the road, he's hit the under in six of his last eight games. With the Suns' defense applying pressure, it's tough to see Santos surpassing that threshold tonight.
