WATCH Spurs vs. Kings Online Live Stream: NBA 2016 Top Conference Rivals & Playoff Rankings

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

The San Antonio Spurs battle it out on the court against the Sacramento Kings in Week 17 of the regular season on Wednesday, February 24 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Sleep Train Arena in California. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated late Wednesday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, San Antonio maintains an extremely impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Sacramento remains a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Spurs (2): "With stops looming in Sacramento, Utah and Houston, San Antonio is 4-1 on its annual Rodeo Road Trip despite a fresh calf issue for Kawhi Leonard. The Spurs, like Golden State, are still alive in the hunt to become the first team to go an entire season without losing at least two games in a row. The previous best is Boston's 74 games in 1984-85 without a losing streak of any kind."

Record: 47-9 (2nd in Western Conference).

Kings (23): "Anthony Davis can't hog all the headlines. Not when DeMarcus Cousins just recorded his fourth game in the past five seasons with at least 35 points and 20 boards when the rest of the league has combined for four such games in the same span. Yet we're not sure how much longer we can make the case that the Kings are still in the race for No. 8 in the West. You tell us: Are they?"

Record: 24-41 (10th in Western Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on your local ESPN sports channel and CSCA and KENS.
