A young Philadelphia team is getting better, on a 14-4 spread run. The 76ers took a 53-48 lead into the half at San Antonio on Thursday as Ersan Ilyasova finished with 26 points and 10 rebounds. It was his third double-double in the last four games. The 76ers are 10-2 ATS after allowing 100+ points in their previous game. Miami has a losing home record and this is the biggest they've been as a favorite all season. For the Heat, Josh Richardson (foot), Justise Winslow (shoulder), Josh McRoberts (foot) and Chris Bosh (blood clots) are out. The 76ers won the first meeting 101-94 in November at Philadelphia, behind 22 points from center Joel Embiid, on a night Heat center Hassan Whiteside had with 32 points and 13 rebounds. And the road team is 8-1-1 ATS in the last 10 meetings. Play the 76ers.
