WATCH Heat vs. Warriors Live Stream Online: NBA 2016 Conference Rankings, Playoff Updates

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

The Miami Heat battle it out on the court against the Golden State Warriors in Week 11 of the regular season on Monday, January 11 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Monday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, both Miami and Golden State maintain impressive Top 10 spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Heat (7): "What is it about the Heat and the holidays? Dwyane Wade sports a Christmas Day record of 10-1. And the franchise as a whole just moved to 6-0 all time on New Year's Day by routing their old friends from Dallas. But home wins over the Pacers and Knicks this week would sure be handy now, with only one home game on the schedule between Jan. 8 and Jan. 29."

Record: 22-15 (5th in Eastern Conference).

Warriors (1): "Last Friday marked the start of an incredibly challenging stretch for the Heat that takes them all the way into the All-Star break. The lowlights: 14 of 16 games on the road, eight of them against teams at or above .500, away dates with the Warriors, Clippers, Thunder and Bulls... and then home dates with the Clippers and Spurs when they're done with all the travel." 

Record: 35-2 (1st in Western Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels CSBy and SUN.
