WATCH Nets vs. Bulls Live Stream Online, NBA 2014 Week 9: Listen To Free Basketball Coverage From Chicago, Power Rankings

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

The Brooklyn Nets battle it out on the court against the Chicago Bulls in Week 9 of the 2014 NBA regular season on Tuesday, December 30 at 8:00 p.m. EST at the United Center in Illinois. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Tuesday 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 Nets snag the No. 21 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power ranking for ESPN.com with a 13-16 winning record:

"The Nets have been better with Jarrett Jack and Mason Plumlee starting over the still-healing Deron Williams and Brook Lopez... or so we thought until they lost by 25 at home to 10-20 Indiana. Don't even ask: Sacramento won't be taking D-Will with it after playing in Brooklyn on Monday night." 

Meanwhile, the Bulls hold the impressive No. 1 spot with 21 wins and only nine losses. According to Stein:

"Forget the MIP. Perhaps we should have had Jimmy Butler listed in the East MVP discussion for Trimester purposes. He's up to five 30-point games already this season ... after zero in his first three NBA seasons. P.S. -- Derrick Rose's December numbers are looking increasingly Derrick Rose-like."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels CSNC and YES, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WIOL, WFAN, WIBC, 1070 The Fan, and WMRI ESPN.
