TLC5971: Connecting NC to GND

Part Number: TLC5971


I am designing a single-layer board with the TLC5971RGE and am wondering if I can connect the NC pins (3, 4, 14, 17) to GND to have a better GND connection to the Thermal Pad?

The datasheet says these pins have no internal connection but wanted to make sure.
