WATCH Clippers vs. Hawks 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 Los Angeles Clippers battle it out on the court against the Atlanta Hawks in Week 13 of the regular season on Wednesday, January 27 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the Philips Arena in Georgia. 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 LA and Atlanta maintain impressive Top 10 spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Clippers (7): "The Clippers are still waiting for Blake Griffin's return and, of greater concern, still waiting for a signature win that stamps them as the elite team we all expected them to be coming into the season. Blake-less Ls in the past five days in Cleveland and Toronto dropped the Clips to 0-7 against the NBA's top five teams in terms of win percentage. Against everyone else? They're 28-9."

Record: 29-16 (4th in Western Conference).

Hawks (9): "The alibi is there if they want it because the Hawks' most likely All-Star, Paul Millsap, missed the game for personal reasons, but losing in Phoenix to a Suns team that had dropped 14 of its previous 15 games (and with a slew of its own injuries) is going to leave a mark. It'll take a win Monday night in the Rocky Mountain altitude of Denver for Atlanta to salvage a .500 trip."

Record: 27-19 (3rd in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's exciting game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels PT and FSSE.
