WATCH Lakers vs. Heat LIVE STREAM online, NBA 2014: Listen to basketball live feed and coverage from Miami

The Los Angeles Lakers vs. the Miami Heat battle it out on the court at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Miami on Thursday, January 23 at 8:00 p.m. EST. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Christmas Day game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

The Lakers currently snag the no. 25 spot in NBA power rankings for FOXSports with a 16-26 winning record:

"There was a weird mental conflict entering this Lakers' season. On one hand, there were realistically low expectations for a team with a lacking roster and an injured superstar. But that was clouded with a warped expectation that Kobe Bryant would come back like a superhero and turn LA into a playoff team. Bryant's unfortunate knee injury solved that, and the Lakers crashed into reality."

Meanwhile, the Heat hold the no. 5 spot with an impressive 30-12 winning record (out of 30 teams):

"It seems like the Heat are more on cruise control than they are vulnerable. Miami is currently four games behind Indy, but it appears to be more an issue of motivation. Maybe it would pump up the Heat if LeBron James got on the mic after a game and went Richard Sherman on everyone: "Well, I'm the best player in the game. When you try me with a sorry defender like Jeff Green, that's the result you're going to get. Don't you ever talk about me.” The NBA world would explode. It might even liven up these sleepwalking Heat."

The game will be broadcasted live on TNT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at ESPN 1380,ESPN 760, 940 WINZ, 710 ESPN, 1240 KSMX, 960 'The Talk,' and ESPN 1380.
