By Danica Bellini, MstarsNews Head Writer | Mar 03, 2016 09:00 PM EST

Basketball's back for the official 2015-2016 NBA season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Oklahoma City Thunder battle it out on the court against the Golden State Warriors in Week 18 of the regular season on Thursday, March 3 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated late Thursday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now in mid-season, both Oklahoma City and Golden State maintain rather impressive top spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Thunder (4): "Thursday's rematch in Oakland gives the Thunder an immediate opportunity to prove they haven't been spooked for good against Golden State after what happened Saturday night. Yet it's clear OKC, having dropped four of five, has been rocked by recent events. And understandably so, given the tragedy (Monty Williams) and injury (Mo Cheeks) that have robbed coach Billy Donovan of his top two assistants."

Record: 42-19 (3rd in Western Conference).

Warriors (1): "Fresh off becoming the first team in league history to record at least six victories on two road trips in a single season, Golden State will enjoy the luxury of playing out the 82-game schedule with a league-high 17 home dates remaining and only seven more on the road. Eight of the Warriors' next nine games, in fact, are at Oracle Arena, the exception being Sunday at the Lakers."

Record: 54-5 (1st in Western Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on your local TNT sports channel.
