Philadelphia struggled at first as it was playing its first playoff game in six years, but now with Game 1 under their belts, the young 76ers will be even more dangerous as the series goes on. Ben Simmons had 17 points, 14 assists, and nine rebounds and the Sixers won their 17th game in a row. Philly shot 47.4 percent overall and an incredible 18 of 28 from 3-point range. The 76ers have gone OVER five of their last six games, and Saturday's game went OVER by 19 points. Six of the last eight meetings at Philadelphia have also gone OVER. The 76ers are 9-1 ATS their last 10 games after a win by at least 10 points, and they have covered the number 43 of their last 64 home games and 12 of their last 15 games overall. Miami has gone OVER 10 of its last 13 road games, and the Heat is 11-5-1 OVER its last 17 against teams with winning records. Take the 76ers and OVER.
