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, all eyes will be on Draymond Green, but the smart money is leaning toward him falling short of 7.5 assists. While he has averaged about 8 assists in his last five games, his away performance tells a different story, where he's managed just 6.6 assists on the road. Facing a Suns team that has historically limited him to just 3.4 assists in their recent encounters, it's hard to see him breaking through that barrier tonight.Moreover, Green's recent form shows that he's hit the under in three of his last four games, and when considering his last 17 away matchups, he's only eclipsed this mark four times. With the Suns tightening their defense, especially at home, it all signals a night where Draymond may be more of a facilitator than a playmaker, making the under a compelling choice.

Gui Santos (Golden State Warriors) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds (-222)

As the Golden State Warriors gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Gui Santos. However, betting on him to clear 20.5 points and rebounds feels like a tall order. Over his last five games, Santos has averaged just 14.8 points and 4.8 rebounds-figures that simply don't stack up to the challenge. And when he hits the road, those numbers dip even further, with averages of 11.8 points and 6.4 rebounds.Against the Suns, he's struggled historically, logging only 7.2 points per game in their recent matchups. Combine that with an away hit rate of just 6 out of 8 games hitting the under, and it becomes clear: this is a recipe for a low-output night. With the odds leaning heavily toward the under, it's hard to see Santos surpassing that 20.5 mark in a tough environment.

Desmond Bane (Orlando Magic) Under 30.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-222)

When the Orlando Magic take on the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes will be on Desmond Bane, but betting the under on his points, rebounds, and assists total of 30.5 seems prudent. While Bane has shown flashes of brilliance at home with an average of 20.2 points and 4 assists in recent games, he's also been held in check against the Hornets, averaging just 17.6 points against them. Looking closer, his overall contributions dip at home, too, where his average for rebounds sits at 3, and assists at 4. The matchup is telling; Bane has hit the under in 4 of his last 5 games, and he's managed to stay below this threshold in each of the last three home games. With the Magic's defensive schemes likely aimed at minimizing his impact, expecting Bane to stay under 30.5 feels like a smart play.

Gui Santos (Golden State Warriors) Under 23.5 Points + Rebounds + Assists (-208)

As the Golden State Warriors head to Phoenix, all eyes will be on Gui Santos, but betting on him to exceed 23.5 combined points, rebounds, and assists feels like a risky proposition. The numbers tell a clear story: Santos has been averaging just 14.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.6 assists over his last five games. When away from home, those numbers dip to 11.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, and 4.2 assists, which isn't quite the production needed to hit this mark.Against Phoenix, his historical performance is even more sobering, with averages of 7.2 points and 4.2 rebounds in their recent matchups. Considering he's only surpassed this total in 3 of his last 4 games, and with a solid 67.6% implied probability leaning toward the under, it seems wise to expect Santos to fall short of that lofty 23.5 threshold on Saturday
