WATCH Timberwolves vs. Cavaliers Live Stream Online: NBA 2016 Rankings, Playoff Updates

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

The Minnesota Timberwolves battle it out on the court against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Week 13 of the regular season on Monday, January 25 at 7:00 p.m. EST from the Q Arena in Ohio. 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, Cleveland maintains a rather impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Minnesota still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Cavaliers (5): "Firing David Blatt was supposed to galvanize a team that looked miserable and disconnected. It was also meant to strip Cavs players of the handy Blame It On Blatt excuse any time something went wrong. But that's what made the first game of the Ty Lue Era so worrisome. How do you fall behind by 17 at home to Chicago when you're supposed to be flush with that New Coach Bounce?"

Record: 30-12 (1st in Eastern Conference).

Timberwolves (27): "Andrew Wiggins has yet to taste victory in his career against the team that drafted him, but he's done enough damage in his three previous encounter to have the Cavs' rapt attention when Minnesota visits Cleveland on Monday night. Wiggins' 31.7 PPG scoring average against the Cavs, in fact, is his highest against any opponent; next in line is a 27.2 PPG reading against Sacramento."

Record: 14-31 (14th in Western Conference).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on your local NBAt sports channel and FSN or FSOH.
