WATCH Thunder vs. Bulls Live Stream Online, NBA 2015 Top Teams Compete: Listen To Free Basketball Coverage, Week 18 Power Rankings

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

The Oklahoma City Thunder battle it out on the court against the Chicago Bulls in Week 18 of the 2014-2015 NBA regular season on Thursday, March 5 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 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 Thunder snag the steady No. 11 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power ranking for ESPN.com with a 34-27 winning record:

"Wouldn't surprise the committee (of one) at all if Russ Westbrook is back on the floor Thursday night in Chicago to resume his quest for triple-doubles after a facial fracture. Sadly, though, we all know Derrick Rose won't be there to take him on, meaning they still haven't squared off since Dec. 6, 2010." 

Oklahoma City remains 2nd in the Northwest Division.

Meanwhile, the Bulls maintain the No. 14 spot with 38 wins and 23 losses. The team holds 1st place in the Central Division. According to Stein:

"The Bulls sport a winning percentage of .789 when they field their projected starting five of Derrick Rose, Jimmy Butler, Mike Dunleavy, Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah. Yet it must be noted we're only talking about 19 such games all season (15-4) thanks to yet another season of injury woe for D-Rose and Co." 

The game will be broadcasted live on local channel TNT, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WIOL, 830 WCCO, WIBC, 1070 The Fan, and WMRI ESPN.
