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 don't be surprised if he falls short of his assist mark. While he's averaged a respectable 8 assists over his last five games, that figure drops to 6.6 when he's on the road. Against Phoenix, Green has typically struggled, dishing out just 3.4 assists in their last few matchups-consistently matching that number even when playing away. Moreover, his recent performance shows that he's hit the under on this prop in 13 out of his last 17 away games, a trend hard to ignore. With an expected assist value around 4.6, it seems like the odds are stacked against him reaching that 7.5 threshold. The Suns' defense will be ready, making the under on Green's assists a compelling play in this matchup.

Jalen Green (Phoenix Suns) Under 22.5 Points (-238)

As the Phoenix Suns gear up to face the Golden State Warriors, all eyes will be on Jalen Green, but not for the reasons you might think. While the young star has shown flashes of brilliance, his recent performances against Golden State have been underwhelming. In fact, he's averaged just 9.6 points per game against them in their last five matchups, and even at home, where he typically scores around 14.6 against this rival, he hasn't approached the 22.5 mark.With a home hit rate of 12 out of the last 17 games falling below this threshold, it's clear that Green often struggles to find his rhythm against the Warriors' defense. Additionally, his recent run shows an average of 20 points overall, suggesting a steady performance but not one that's likely to surge beyond that 22.5 barrier. Betting the under seems not just prudent, but almost inevitable in this matchup.

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

As the Orlando Magic gear up to face the Charlotte Hornets, all eyes will be on Desmond Bane. While he's been a solid contributor, the under on his combined points, rebounds, and assists at 30.5 feels like a smart play. Over the last five games, Bane has averaged just 17.4 points and 2.6 rebounds, falling short of that lofty mark. History against the Hornets shows he usually nets around 17.6 points, and at home, he's even less productive, averaging 16.2 points. His recent form at home has been encouraging, but he's still only hit the combined total three times in his last five games. The Magic's defense will be focused on limiting his impact, and with an expected stat value of 20.82, it's clear this could be a tougher outing for Bane. Expect him to stay under that 30.5 threshold in this matchup.

Gui Santos (Golden State Warriors) Under 20.5 Points + Rebounds (-213)

As the Golden State Warriors gear up to face the Phoenix Suns, all eyes will be on Gui Santos, but the smart money might be on the under for his points and rebounds total of 20.5. While Santos has shown flashes of his potential, averaging just 14.8 points and 4.8 rebounds over his last five games, his away performance tells a different story. On the road, he's only managing about 11.8 points and 6.4 rebounds. Against the Suns, he's struggled even more, averaging a mere 7.2 points and just 4.2 rebounds in their recent matchups. With a hit rate of 6 out of his last 8 games falling under this total when away, it's hard to see him breaking through in this matchup. For those looking to capitalize on trends, betting the under appears to be a savvy play.
