The flop and turn more or less miss villains range so you won't get called much, meaning implied odds for hitting are lower. Additionally, in the scenario where you hit, there are four to the straight. This further lowers the odds of getting called by worse. There are some other reasons why you might want to continue with this hand though.

87s has some good equity on this flop and is supposed to be one of your weakest holdings to take to showdown if you miss, making it a good option to play aggressively. I would've check-raised the flop and expect a fold the majority of the time.

The 7 on the turn is pretty awkward because you get some showdown value and some additional outs if you're behind. I like your call here in favour of check-raising because you have better value hands and better bluff combo's in your range. For reference, if you're drawing to two-pair + for the win you have 30% equity. If you hit that's great. If you miss you still have some showdown value.
