WATCH Kings 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 Sacramento Kings battle it out on the court against the Golden State Warriors in Week 9 of the regular season on Monday, December 28 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 Monday 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 Sacramento still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Warriors (1): "Rewind two months, and you'll recall some of us opining about how hard it would be for the Warriors to join the Michael Jordan Bulls (1995-96 and 1996-97 editions) as the only teams in league history to win 65-plus games in consecutive seasons. Now look: Steph Curry's Warriors only need a pedestrian 39-14 finish over their final 53 games to pull that off."

Record: 28-1 (1st in Western Conference).

Kings (24): "Are the Kings responsible for spurring Draymond Green to new heights? Fair question on the morning of a Steph versus Seth Curry reunion in Oakland. Since Green rumbled for his season's first triple-double in a Nov. 28 win over Sacramento, Green ranks as the only player in the NBA averaging at least 17 points, 10 rebounds and five assists."

Record: 12-18 (9th in Eastern Conference).

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