WATCH Heat vs. Trail Blazers Live Stream Online, NBA 2015 Week 10: Listen To Free Basketball Coverage From Portland, Power Rankings

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

The Miami Heat battle it out on the court against the Portland Trail Blazers in Week 10 of the 2014-2015 regular season on Thursday, January 8 at 10:30 p.m. EST at the Moda Center at the Rose Quarter in Oregon. 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.

Following the first few weeks of the NBA regular season, the Heat snag the No. 17 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power ranking for ESPN.com with a 15-20 winning record:

"After two successive springs delivered Heat versus Pacers in the Eastern Conference finals, Miami suddenly finds itself dueling with Indy for the East's No. 8 seed. Maybe going on the road for six games will spark the Heat, who've been better away (8-8) than they've looked on the Biscayne Bay (7-12)."

Meanwhile, the Trail Blazers currently hold the awesome No. 4 spot (out of 30 total teams) with 27 wins and only eight losses. According to Stein:

"Saturday night's home L to Atlanta snuffed out any Portland hopes of ascending to No. 1. The consolation: Damian Lillard begins the week ranked sixth in the whole league in win shares at 5.8, behind only James Harden (7.0), Anthony Davis (6.7), Chris Paul (6.3), Jimmy Butler (6.1) and Steph Curry (6.0)."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channel TNT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 790 The Ticket, WIOD, WOAI, KKTX, and 940 WINZ.
