WATCH Wizards vs. Pacers 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 Washington Wizards battle it out on the court against the Indiana Pacers in Week 11 of the regular season on Friday, January 15 at 7:00 p.m. EST from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Friday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, Indiana maintains an impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Washington still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Wizards (19): "Bradley Beal said during the Wizards' TV broadcast Saturday night that a firmer read on his return should be available 'within the next week or two.' The Wiz are 7-8 in the 15 games Beal has missed since we last saw him in a Dec. 9 home loss to Houston and have no games left with the Magic, whom they've already beaten twice in 2016 and 12 times in a row head-to-head."

Record: 18-19 (11th in Eastern Conference).

Pacers (10): "Sunday night's duel in Houston played out pretty predictably for two of the league's five teams that have already played four overtime games. The Rockets, flanking James Harden with both Corey Brewer and Trevor Ariza, found a way to escape and improve to 4-0 in OT. The Pacers, meanwhile, squandered a late 13-point lead and dropped to a frustrating 0-4 in OT games."

Record: 22-17 (5th in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's exciting game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels FSIN and CSNM.
