The Nets have owned this matchup of late, going 5-1 against the 76ers at Barclays Center and taking eight of the last 10 meetings overall. Defensively, the Nets have shut the 76ers down, holding Philadelphia to 91 or fewer points in all four meetings last season.The 76ers are battling through the midst of a 1-21 season and are coming off a 51-point loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night.Brook, Thad and Joe: Brook Lopez (24 points), Joe Johnson (22 points) and Thaddeus Young (20 points) were the first Nets trio to score 20+ points in the same game this season, doing so against the Rockets on Tuesday. Johnson tied his season-high in scoring, while Young posted back-to-back 20-point games for the first time this season. Young finished the night with 12 boards, marking his 10th double-double of the season.Andrea Bargnani: Andrea Bargnani practiced Wednesday and is probable for Thursday’s game against the 76ers. The 7-foot center has missed the Nets’ last four games with a tight left hamstring. Bargnani is averaging 5.9 points and 1.7 rebounds per game this season.Bogdanovic: In wake of Rondae Hollis-Jefferson’s ankle injury, Bojan Bogdanovic has assumed a place in the Nets’ starting five. Bogdanovic had 19 points (8-for-16, 3-for-7 from 3) and five rebounds against the Rockets on Tuesday, as the Nets starting five threw up a season-high 95 points.
