WATCH Heat vs. Knicks LIVE STREAM online, NBA 2013: Listen to radio and TV basketball feed and coverage from NYC

The Miami Heat vs. the New York Knicks battle it out on the court at Madison Square Garden in NYC on Thursday, January 9 at 8:00 p.m. EST. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Thursday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

The Heat currently snag the no. 2 spot in R. Cory Smith's NBA power rankings for Bleacher Report with an impressive 27-8 winning record:

"Miami is the first team inside the top 10 out of the east, but it remains one of the best teams in the NBA. Winners of four out of their last five, the Heat have taken over the No. 2 spot in this weeks rankings. With a six-game road trip coming up against Eastern Conference opponents, LeBron James and Co. have a chance to exert their dominance over the conference in the coming weeks."

Meanwhile, the Knicks hold the no. 24 spot with a 12-22 winning record:

"The New York Knicks are winning games, everybody. The Knicks are 3-1 in 2014 and have held two straight opponents to 85 points or less. Wins over the Detroit Pistons and Dallas Mavericks showed improvement. But a five-game stretch against opponents like the Miami Heat, Phoenix Suns and Indiana Pacers will prove if they've really turned the corner."

The game will be broadcasted live on TNT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at ESPN 760, 940 WINZ, 104. 5 'The Team,' ESPN 98.7, and WFAN 660.
