WATCH Rockets vs. Spurs 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 Houston Rockets battle it out on the court against the San Antonio Spurs in Week 13 of the regular season on Wednesday, January 27 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the AT&T Center in Texas. 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 San Antonio and Houston maintain very impressive top spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Spurs(2): "What a different 295 days make. That's how much time has elapsed since the Spurs and Warriors last met in the unforgettable Kawhi Game back on April 5, 2015. Kawhi Leonard scored what was then a career-high 26 points to go with seven game-changing steals in that one. This season? Kawhi just became the Spurs' first All-Star starter not named Duncan since David Robinson in 1993."

Record: 38-7 (2nd in Eastern Conference).

Rockets (8): "As much as the Clippers clearly wanted to exile Josh Smith, you have to wonder if they'll regret helping the Rockets. Houston is the one place J-Smoove seems to fit (and maybe the only team willing to take him), but it's not hard to picture the Rockets rising to No. 5 in the West by season's end and forcing a first-round showdown with none other than Doc Rivers' Clips."

Record: 25-22 (7th in Western Conference).

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