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

The Boston Celtics battle it out on the court against the Toronto Raptors in Week 20 of the regular season on Friday, March 18 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 Friday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Before heading into the official playoff season, both Boston and Toronto maintain impressive Top 10 spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Raptors (4): "The playoffs are still everything in Toronto after consecutive first-round exits, but getting to 50 wins for the first time in franchise history will be a big deal, too. And I'd say we're safe in assuming that the Raps are good for the six more wins they need, with eight more home games to go for the team on a 16-2 roll at Air Canada Centre in 2016 and DeMarre Carroll nearing a return to the lineup."

Record: 46-21 (2nd in Eastern Conference).

Celtics (9): "Larry Bird, Reggie Lewis, Robert Parish, Kevin Gamble and Brian Shaw. That was the Celtics' last starting lineup back in January 1991, until last Wednesday night, to know how it feels to win a 14th straight home game. But that streak was gone two nights later and Jae Crowder is suddenly poised to miss at least two weeks, which only figures to make the race for the East's No. 3 seed tighter."

Record: 39-29 (4th in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's exciting game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels NBAt and CSNE.
