Brooklyn Nets vs. Indiana Pacers: TV info, live stream, injury report

The Brooklyn Nets put the longest current winning streak in the NBA, 7 games, on the line Friday at Barclays Center against the Indiana Pacers.

Two of the hottest teams of late in the NBA collide at Barclays Center Friday night when the Brooklyn Nets — owners of the NBA’s longest current winning streak at seven games — take on the Indiana Pacers, who just had a seven-game win streak snapped on Tuesday.

The Nets (15-18) matched the longest winning streak in the franchise’s Brooklyn era with a 96-93 road victory over the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday. The Nets also won seven straight from Jan. 2-15, 2013.

The Pacers (20-12) have lost their last two, including a 99-96 road loss to the Toronto Raptors Wednesday night.

Joe Harris finished a drive with a floating bank shot with 43 seconds left and Spencer Dinwiddie made a game-saving steal with 2.3 seconds to go to help Brooklyn hold off the Bulls at United Center.

Dinwiddie led the Nets with 27 points. Jarrett Allen went for 16 points and 12 rebounds and Harris finished with 11 points and four assists.

Bojan Bogdanovic‘s long 3-pointer with one second left Wednesday was off target — although the NBA did determine after the fact that Bogdanovic was fouled by Toronto defender OG Anunoby. Toronto took the lead on Fred VanVleet‘s 3-pointer with 26.4 seconds remaining.
