The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers split their two meetings at Barclays Center this season and meet Wednesday for the 1st time in 2018-19 at Wells Fargo Center.

The Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday return from three straight off days looking to match their longest winning streak of the season as they make their first visit to Wells Fargo Center this season to take on the Philadelphia 76ers. Tip is set for 7 p.m. Eastern.

Brooklyn (10-18) swept a back-to-back on Friday and Saturday for their first consecutive wins since winning three in a row from Nov. 4-9. Philadelphia (19-9) has also won two straight, taking a home-and-home from the Detroit Pistons on Friday and Monday.

The Nets completed their back-to-back sweep Saturday with a 112-104 win over the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. Brooklyn led by as much as 19 points early in the fourth quarter before the Knicks made a run to close to within five, but got no closer.

More from Nothin' But Nets

Spencer Dinwiddie led the Nets with 25 points and also had six assists, while Rondae Hollis-Jefferson added 20 points. Jarrett Allen went for 14 points, 12 rebounds and two blocks before fouling out and D’Angelo Russell dished out 11 assists.

The 76ers won at Detroit on Friday before following that up with a 116-102 victory at home Monday. Joel Embiid finished with 24 points and two blocks for Philadelphia, while Ben Simmons went for 18 points, 10 boards and seven assists. T.J. McConnell recorded 14 points and six assists.

The teams split two meetings last month at Barclays Center, which leaves the Nets at 82-112 overall in the series between the teams since the Nets joined the NBA as part of the 1976 merger with the ABA.

Philadelphia’s string of eight straight wins from Nov. 6, 2009, to April 1, 2011, is the longest by either side in the series. The Nets have won four in a row three different times, the last coming from Feb. 3 to Dec. 12, 2014.

The 76ers scored a series-high in points in a 142-107 win at Philadelphia on Feb. 5, 1986, which was also their largest win in the series.

Brooklyn’s franchise high against Philly was in 1 41-117 win at Philadelphia on April 4, 2017. The Nets have the most one-sided win in the series, beating the 76ers in Brooklyn 130-94 on Dec. 16 2013.

Bojan Bogdanovic has the individual series-high with a 44-point outing at Barclays Center on March 15, 2016.

Two Hall of Famers have scored 43 points for Philadelphia against the Nets. Charles Barkley turned the trick on Feb. 19, 1988, at Philadelphia. Allen Iverson duplicated the total at Philadelphia on March 1, 2002.

The Nets do hold a 14-12 edge in the series since the franchise moved to Brooklyn in 2012.
