The Philadelphia 76ers take on the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on Sunday evening.

The 76ers (20-7) have largely lived up to the lofty preseason expectations placed upon them, and they'll come into Sunday's contest with five straight wins. Their most recent victory came against the New Orleans Pelicans, which they toppled by a 116-109 margin Friday night. Tobias Harris paced the 76ers with 31 points and also registered five rebounds and two assists. Ben Simmons turned in 24 points, 11 assists, three rebounds, three steals and two blocks. Joel Embiid posted 24 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, one steal and one block. James Ennis managed 10 points.

The 76ers will list Al Horford (knee) and Zhaire Smith (leg) as questionable for Sunday's game.

The Nets (13-12) haven't been quite as successful as their Sunday opponent, but they've done a solid job in the face of multiple key injuries. Brooklyn is an impressive 8-4 over its last 12 games, but half of those losses have come their last two times on the floor. The most recent came Saturday night, when the Nets dropped a 110-102 decision to the Toronto Raptors. Spencer Dinwiddie paced the Nets with 24 points, adding eight assists, two rebounds, one steal and one block. Garrett Temple produced 16 points, four rebounds and two assists. Taurean Prince generated a 14-point, 10-rebound double-double that also included two assists, one steal and one block. Joe Harris went for 13 points, four assists and three boards.

The Nets will list Kyrie Irving (shoulder), Caris LeVert (thumb), Wilson Chandler (suspension) and Nicholas Claxton (hamstring) as out for Sunday's contest.

Sunday's game is the first of four meetings between the teams this season. The 76ers split the four-game 2018-19 regular-season series with Brooklyn and then won the Eastern Conference quarterfinals series against the Nets by a 4-1 margin.
