The Cleveland Cavaliers battle it out on the court against the San Antonio Spurs in Week 11 of the regular season on Thursday, January 14 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the AT&T Center inTexas . Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Thursday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, both Cleveland and San Antonio maintain extremely impressive top spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Cavaliers (3): "We've been giving him a hard time about it, so it's only proper to note that LeBron James' perimeter shooting is coming around, presumably helped by the extra attention attracted by Kyrie Irving. Over the past seven games, James has shot 45.8 percent outside the paint. In his first 27 games this season, LeBron actually ranked among the league's five worst shooters outside the paint at 28.6 percent."

Record: 27-9 (1st in Eastern Conference).

Spurs (2): "Only six teams in NBA history have managed to start a season by winning their first 23 home games. The most recent: LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers in 2008-09. Guess who comes to the Alamo City on Thursday with the Spurs sitting at 22-0 at home and on pace for the gaudiest nightly point differential (plus-13.9) of all time. Who else but LeBron's Cavs?"

Record: 34-6 (2nd in Western Conference).

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