WATCH Warriors vs. Bulls 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 Golden State Warriors battle it out on the court against the Chicago Bulls in Week 12 of the regular season on Wednesday, January 20 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the United Center in Illinois. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Wednesday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

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

Bulls (7): "The Bulls have indeed dropped four of five -- and nearly went 5 for 5 if not for the crazy Jimmy Butler-fueled comeback in Philly -- but we can't ignore the fact that they're 8-2 to date without Joakim Noah. The bigger issue is that Noah, according to a number of folks we speak to, really is the big man Chicago management wanted most to trade before the Feb. 18 to ease its frontcourt logjam."

Record: 24-16 (3rd in Eastern Conference).

Golden State (1): "Life must be pretty good when you slip to a 74-8 pace and spawn a rash of 'What's wrong?' questions. Yet we repeat: Golden State's loss in Detroit, for all the legit questions about slippage in the defensive and energy departments lately, marked the first time all season that our stubborn No. 1s lost a game when armed with both a full roster as well as a night off before the loss."

Record: 38-4 (1st in Western Conference).

Tonight's monumental game will be broadcasted live on your local ESPN sports channel and CSNC or CSBy.
