The Oklahoma City Thunder are tied for the league's best record at 14-4 and will look to win their sixth consecutive game when they head to the brand new Barclays Center Tuesday night to take on the Brooklyn Nets at 7:30 pm ET.
The winning streak has helped the Thunder keep pace with the Memphis Grizzlies and San Antonio Spurs near the top of the Western Conference standings.
The Thunder began their streak with a 116-109 overtime win at Philadelphia on Nov. 24 and have won their last four by an average of 25.0 points.
Kevin Durant scored 20 points while Russell Westbrook added 18 and 10 assists before both sat out the fourth quarter of a 100-79 rout of New Orleans on Saturday.
Meanwhile, the Nets are 11-5 and have seen early success thus far this season.
The Nets lost their last time out, however, 102-89 on the road against the Eastern Conference-leading Miami Heat on Saturday. The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Brooklyn.
Center Brook Lopez will miss his third straight game Tuesday giving Andray Blatche another start, and coach Avery Johnson hopes he can add a better defensive presence down low.
The Nets also will be without reserve forward Reggie Evans, averaging a team-high 8.4 rebounds, due to the flu.
