WATCH Jazz vs. Warriors Live Stream Online: NBA 2015 Conference Rankings, Playoff Updates

Basketball's back for the official 2015-2016 NBA season, so get ready, MstarsNews readers!

The Utah Jazz battle it out on the court against the Golden State Warriors in Week 8 of the regular season on Wednesday, December 23 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Wednesday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, Golden State maintains the impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Utah still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Warriors (1): "ESPN's trusty Basketball Power Index pegs the Dubs as 77.7 percent likely to beat Cleveland on Christmas... but only 30.3 percent likely to win 72 games. That's despite the fact Golden State, as our Warriors Watch tracker confirms, are two games ahead of Chicago's 1995-96 pace. A win over Utah Wednesday clinches the best record at Christmas we've ever seen."

Record: 26-1 (1st in Western Conference).

Jazz (19): "Nothing illuminates the underwhelming state of today's West quite like the Jazz, who are still clinging to the No. 8 spot despite sinking to three games below .500 at 3-8 without Rudy Gobert. The consensus among the staff, however, remains that -- in spite of what we just wrote here -- that all this "East is back" talk has been exaggerated."

Record: 12-14 (8th in Western Conference).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels ROOT and CSBy.
