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

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

The Chicago Bulls battle it out on the court against the San Antonio Spurs in Week 19 of the regular season on Thursday, March 10 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the AT&T Center in Texas. 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.

Before heading into the playoff season, San Antonio maintains a rather impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Chicago still lags just a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Spurs (2): "With 10 more wins, Tim Duncan will become just the third member of the 1,000 club for regular-season W's, alongside Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1,074) and Robert Parish (1.014). The Spurs, though, are clearly trying to tax Duncan as little as possible as his 40th birthday approaches; TD has played only 52 percent of the Spurs' available minutes this season and has yet to register a 20-point game."

Record: 54-10 (2nd in Western Conference).

Bulls (16): "Chicago's D, as covered here last week, has indeed been in decline for two months now, but there's also no dismissing the severity of the Bulls' recent injury woes. They've gone 4-8 this season without Jimmy Butler and something closer to what we expected from this team (27-22) with the East's top scorer since Jan. 1; Butler (24.6 PPG) and DeMar DeRozan (24.0 PPG) are the leaders in that span."     

Record: 32-30 (8th in Eastern Conference).

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