WATCH Rockets vs. Mavericks Live Stream Online, NBA 2015 Top Division Teams: Listen To Free Basketball Coverage, Power Rankings

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

The Houston Rockets battle it out on the court against the Dallas Mavericks in Week 22 of the 2014-2015 regular NBA season on Thursday, April 2 at 8:30 p.m. EST at the AmericanAirlines 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.

Following the first few weeks of the NBA regular season, the Rockets snag the awesome No. 5 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power ranking for ESPN.com with a 51-24 winning record:

"If you think we're tough, Atlanta, you don't want to hear about ESPN's Basketball Power Index. The BPI has the Hawks ranked at a mere No. 10, thanks to a 6-6 mark against teams .500 or better since Feb. 1, while giving them less than a 50 percent shot at reaching the Eastern Conference finals."

Houstain remains 2nd in the Southwest Division.

Meanwhile, the Mavericks hold the steady No. 11 spot (out of 30 total teams) with 46 wins and 29 losses. According to Stein:

"Rest assured that the sliding Mavs, for all their recent concern about Monta Ellis' play, would much prefer having Ellis in the lineup as opposed to trying to play without him as they must now. One bright spot: Chandler Parsons is shooting .483 from the field (and .421 on 3s) since the All-Star break."

Dallas maintains the 4th spot in the Southwest Division.

The game will be broadcasted live on local channel FSSW, but fans can also listen in on the radio at SportsNet 590, 104. 5 The Team, ESPN 92.9, KOGT, and KKNW.
