Miami coach Erik Spoelstra is one of the top defensive coaches in the NBA, and he will not allow the Sixers to duplicate their 130-point performance in Game 1 against the Heat. Both teams shot extremely well, and I expect them to revert back to the mean Monday. Back the Under.

Typically in the playoffs there's a bounceback effect with good teams coming off a loss. Toss that aside here, as Philly's dominance can't be brushed aside. Hassan Whiteside was a total non-factor in Game 1 and was unhappy with his minutes. He might not be able to play at this pace. Lay it.

The Sixers have won 17 straight games (12-5 ATS) and the dismantling of the Heat in Game 1 was just par for the course with their identity. It's almost if they got more serious and focused when Joel Embiid went out. They've won nine straight without him, and are crushing all opponents. J.J. Redick put up 28 points in Game 1 and has now averaged 25 ppg in his last five games. He's the dagger. Philly has now won 15 of its last 17 games by seven points or more. No zig-zag theory here, just keep zigging one way with Philly.
