The Houston Rockets vs. the Miami Heat battle it out on the court at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Florida on Sunday, March 16 at 3:30 p.m. EST. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Sunday afternoon basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

The Rockets currently snag the no. 6 spot in Josh Martin's NBA power rankings for Bleacher Report with an impressive 44-21 winning record:

"Just when it looked like the Houston Rockets could do no wrong, they've found themselves shredded on both ends of the floor by quality competition.

The Oklahoma City Thunder limited the NBA's fifth-best offense to 98 points on 41.8 percent shooting and carved up Houston's top-10 defense for 106 points on the other end on Tuesday.

That result, though, can be explained-to some degree anyway. The Thunder have had the Rockets' number since James Harden switched cities, with a 3-0 mark against Houston this season. And after Patrick Beverley poked the proverbial bear, OKC seemed destined to dominate once again.

But the Rockets' 24-point loss in Chicago isn't quite so easy to figure out. Sure, one can understand Houston struggling somewhat to solve Tom Thibodeau's defense, but 87 points, only 20 of which came from Dwight Howard and James Harden? And 16 turnovers, 12 of which were accounted for by Howard and Harden?

And what about the Rockets surrendering 111 points on 50 percent shooting to the second-least-efficient defense in the NBA?

Throw in the slumps in which the Heat, the Pacers and the Blazers were stuck when the Rockets took them down during a recent five-game winning streak, and any suggestion that Houston's ready for prime time now appears to be premature."

Meanwhile, the Heat kick it up a notch at the no. 4 spot out of 30 total teams with an equally impressive 44-19 winning record:

"The Miami Heat had better hope they don't run into the Nets in the playoffs. The two-time defending champs moved to 0-3 against Brooklyn's veteran bunch with a 96-95 loss on Wednesday. Fortunately for the Heat, each of those three defeats have been closely contested, with the largest margin (nine points) coming in an overtime loss back in January.

Still, the Nets' surge isn't all that should concern the Heat. Miami also split the season series against the hard-charging Bulls and has two dates with the Pacers remaining on its schedule.

All of which is to say, the Heat's path through the East and on to a three-peat may not turn out to be the cakewalk it once appeared to be when the conference appeared to have only two competent clubs out of 15 earlier this season."

The game will be broadcasted live on ABC, but fans can also listen in on the radio at Sports Talk 790Sports Radio 6101600 KOGTESPN 760, and 940 WINZ.
