WATCH Mavericks vs. Warriors Live Stream Online: NBA 2016 Top Rival Rankings, Playoff Updates

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

The Dallas Mavericks battle it out on the court against the Golden State Warriors in Week 13 of the regular season on Wednesday, January 27 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Oracle Arena in Oakland. 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, Golden State maintains the very impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Dallas still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Mavericks (13): "Chandler Parsons is increasingly looking like a player who has found top gear after a bumpy first few months recovering from offseason knee surgery. Trouble is, Dallas' defensive deficiencies are starting to be exposed routinely, dragging Rick Carlisle's club back to something closer to the level we all expected before the Mavs' coach coaxed an unforeseen 19-13 start out of this group."

Record: 26-21 (6th in Western Conference).

Warriors (1): "You had to know we were gonna gloat some after the Dubs responded to our controversial decision to keep them No. 1 by trouncing Cleveland and Chicago on the road, turning back Indy in Steve Kerr's triumphant return and now basking in the knowledge Steph Curry has never been giddier after Steph's Panthers clinched a spot in the Super Bowl about to be played in the Bay Area."

Record: 41-4 (1st in Western Conference).

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