WATCH Mavericks vs. Rockets NBA Playoffs Live Stream Online, Houston Leads Series: Listen To Free Game 5 Coverage, 2015 Power Rankings

It's finally that time of year - the NBA playoffs are here!

The Dallas Mavericks battle it out on the court against the Houston Rockets in Game 5 of the playoff season on Tuesday, April 28 at 8:00 p.m. EST at the Toyota Center in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Tuesday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Review a thorough preview of the highly-anticipated playoff game at ESPN.

Earlier this month, sports reporter Marc Stein offered this official power rankings breakdown of all 30 NBA teams:

Mavericks (10): "The Mavs are the proverbial Every High Seed Wants 'Em team in the first round. Just like they were in 2011. Yet that's pretty much the only parallel you can draw between the lone championship outfit in team history and the current (older, banged-up and less-than-harmonious) Mavs."

Rockets (7): "James Harden can't do much more. He's scored or assisted on 42 percent of the Rockets' points -- nearly matching D-Rose's slice in HIS MVP season in 2010-11 -- while they were losing 392 man-games to injury. According to Elias, only the Wolves (423) and Lakers (422) have lost more."

Houston currently leads the series 3-1.

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