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

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

The Oklahoma City Thunder battle it out on the court against the Sacramento Kings in Week 18 of the regular season on Monday, February 29 at 10:0 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 Monday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now in mid-season, Oklahoma City maintains a rather impressive top spot in Jeremy Woo's official NBA power rankings for Sports Illustrated, while Sacramento still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Thunder (3): "For what it's worth, NBA.com's strength-of-schedule formula [link https://stats.nba.com/playoffpicture] rates the Thunder's remaining schedule as the most difficult in the league. Should they be concerned? Only if second-round home court really matters, and assuming the current seeds hold, expect OKC to push San Antonio regardless. Can't wait."

Record: 41-18 (3rd in Western Conference).

Kings (22): "Hope we all enjoyed that while it lasted. Six straight wins into four straight losses dropped the Kings out of that cozy eight-hole, and a Boogie Cousins sprained ankle now makes salvaging the next week and a half especially critical. And for the record, they're 1-7 without him."

Record: 24-33 (10th in Western Conference).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on your local NBAt sports channel and CSCA or FSOK.
