WATCH Clippers vs. Spurs Live Stream Online, NBA 2014 Week 8: Listen To Free Monday Night Basketball From San Antonio, Power Rankings

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

The Los Angeles Clippers battle it out on the court against the San Antonio Spurs in Week 8 of the 2014 regular season on Monday, December 22 at 8:30 p.m. EST at the AT&T Center in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Following the first few weeks of the NBA regular season, the Clippers snag the impressive No. 8 spot in Josh Martin's official NBA power ranking for Bleacher Report with a 19-8 winning record:

"This past week was a rough one for the Los Angeles Clippers. Their nail-biting win over the shorthanded Pacers in Indy portended trouble for the Clippers, who dropped back-to-back games against the Wizards and Bucks to end what had been a nine-game winning streak... The Clippers were able to get their house back in order somewhat upon returning home. They stomped the rumor-racked Pistons, but needed some clutch free throws from J.J. Redick just to fend off those same pesky Pacers... And if that weren't enough, the Clippers will now have to forge ahead with a thinned-out frontcourt while Spencer Hawes, their big get this past summer, recovers from a left knee bruise... Fortunately, Chris Paul and Blake Griffin are healthy and playing fantastic basketball, as arguably the NBA's best pick-and-roll pairing... 'I don't know if there's a better combination,' head coach Doc Rivers told NBA.com's David Aldridge. 'They were laughing after the game the other night. I was like, 'We should be great.' I'm telling them that. And they were like, 'We are pretty good.' But I think we should be even better.'" 

Meanwhile, the Spurs currently hold the equally awesome No. 5 spot (out of 30 total teams) with 17 wins and 11 losses. According to Martin:

"It's strange to see the San Antonio Spurs lose four times in six outings, especially when two of those defeats come against two of the West's worst (Jazz and Lakers). Such struggles are to be expected when key pieces of the team's core-namely, Tony Parker (hamstring strain) and Kawhi Leonard (bruised hand)-are battling injuries... Still, considering how cutthroat the West has been this year, every result matters. The Spurs, then, can ill-afford an extended slide if they're to stay in the hunt for home-court advantage come playoff time... Then again, a veteran team like San Antonio probably isn't (and shouldn't be) overly concerned with a stumble here and there in December. Moreover, the Spurs, even when shorthanded, are good enough to compete with the league's elite, as seen in their narrow triple-overtime loss to Memphis...  That notion will be put to the test through the end of the year, with San Antonio set to face the Blazers, Mavericks, Clippers, Rockets, Grizzlies and Pelicans (twice)."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels PT and FSSW, but fans can also listen in on the radio at The Beast 980, AM570, 940 WINZ, KPNW, and KRCO.
