WATCH Spurs vs. Suns Live Stream Online [Listen]: NBA 2016 Rankings, Playoff Updates

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

The San Antonio Spurs battle it out on the court against the Phoenix Suns in Week 12 of the regular season on Thursday, January 21 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Arizona. 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, San Antonio an extremely impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Phoenix remains at the very bottom (out of a total 30 teams):

Suns (30): "Doesn't get much more simplistic than this: Phoenix doesn't win unless it scores at least 100 points. The Suns are 0-18 when they fail to reach triple digits, compared to a passable 13-11 when they do. Things have gotten so dry in the desert that they've been passed up in the West by the injury-ravaged Pels and were just routed and caught by the Wolves, who aren't even trying to win at the moment."

Record: 13-30 (13th in Western Conference).

Spurs (2): "If it's any consolation, Spurs fans, we seem to be in the minority when it comes to ranking the Warriors higher than your heroes these days. Take ESPN's famed Basketball Power Index, for example. Our BPI guys have the Spurs rated as 53.9 percent likely to win it all, with Golden State at a mere 28.1 percent. Next in line: Cleveland and Oklahoma City at 9.4 percent and 4.3 percent, respectively."

Record: 36-6 (2nd in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's exciting game will be broadcasted live on your local TNT sports channel and KENS.
