WATCH Spurs vs. Rockets Live Stream Online, NBA 2014 Opening Week: Listen To Free Basketball Coverage From Houston, Power Rankings

It's finally that time of year - basketball season!

The San Antonio Spurs battle it out on the court against the Houston Rockets in the 2014 opening week on Thursday, November 6 at 8:00 p.m. EST at the Toyota Center in Texas. 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.

To kick-off the NBA regular season, the Spurs snag the impressive No. 1 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power ranking for ESPN.com with a 2-1 winning record:

"Quite a week looming for the champs. Tim Duncan is in fine form and Kawhi Leonard has finally returned from three weeks' worth of eye issues, but Thursday night calls for a visit to Houston after going 0-4 against the Rockets last season followed by this season's first TD-Anthony Davis duel at home."

Meanwhile, the Rockets currently hold the No. 9 spot (out of 30 total teams), with five wins and zero losses. According to Stein:

"After a favorable early schedule allowed the Rockets to ease into the season, there will be no ducking those nagging what-if thoughts Tuesday night when the second stop of a back-to-back takes them from the friendly confines of Philly to South Beach and a dreaded date with a very dialed-in Chris Bosh."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channel TNT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WOAI, KKTX, KOGT, and KSIX.
