WATCH Pelicans vs. Thunder Live Stream Online: NBA 2016 All-Star Rankings, Playoff Updates

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

The New Orleans Pelicans battle it out on the court against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Week 15 of the regular season on Thursday, February 11 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the Chesapeake Energy Arena. 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, Oklahoma City maintains a very impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while New Orleans still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Pelicans (22): "A week ago, New Orleans could take solace in the belief it had become a .500 team (17-17) since that 1-11 nightmare start filled with injuries. But an 0-4 week, with a home loss to the Lakers overshadowing everything else, has propped a new cloud over the Pels, with the ground to make up for the eighth seed realistically too vast now for any trade in the next 10 days to cover."

Record: 20-32 (12th in Western Conference).

Thunder (4): "On one hand, OKC's second-half comeback in Oakland might not have been as encouraging as it seemed, since Steph Curry and Klay Thompson shot a combined 2-for-14 on 3s, which basically never happens. On the other hand, OKC did show you just how dangerous this team can be, for all its flaws, now that KD and Russ happen to be playing the best ball of their lives at the same time."

Record: 39-14 (3rd in Western Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on your local TNT sports channel.
