WATCH Nets vs. Raptors Online Live Stream: NBA 2016 Conference Rankings & Playoff Updates

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

The Brooklyn Nets battle it out on the court against the Toronto Raptors in Week 19 of the regular season on Tuesday, March 8 at 7:30 p.m. EST from the Air Canada Centre. 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.

Before heading into the playoff season, Toronto maintains an impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Brooklyn still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Raptors (4): "That deliciously long 12-game home winning streak wasn't going to last forever. The manner in which Toronto surrendered it -- giving up 38 points in the fourth quarter Sunday night in a fall-from-ahead loss to Houston after getting away with 36 points allowed in Friday's final period against Portland -- is what will truly disappoint the defense-first Dwane Casey."

Record: 41-20 (2nd in Eastern Conference).

Nets (26): "That long-awaited first game on Brooklyn soil since Feb. 21 inches closer, with only two road dates left on the mammoth nine-game trek that ranks as the league's longest this season. And the Nets, all things considered, borderline flourished during the Western Conference portion, going 3-3 before resting Brook Lopez and Thad Young and allowing 132 points in Minnesota."

Record: 18-45 (14th in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's exciting game will be broadcasted live on local sports channel YES.
