WATCH Cavaliers vs. Nuggets 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 Cleveland Cavaliers battle it out on the court against the Denver Nuggets in Week 9 of the regular season on Tuesday, December 29 at 9:00 p.m. EST from the Pepsi Center in Colorado. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Tuesday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, Cleveland maintains a Top 10 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Denver still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Cavaliers (4): "An East-leading record of 19-9, one-third of the way through the season, does not add up to a crisis. Anyone who remembers the Cavs' 19-20 start last season knows that. Yet you have to keep an eye on their road form, when Cleveland's offense has drifted to nearly 10 points per 100 possessions worse away from the friendly confines of The Q."

Record: 20-9 (1st in Eastern Conference).

Nuggets (25): "When can you put the Nuggets in the same sentence with the Spurs? And we mean besides when pointing out that Manu Ginobili has already been rested against Denver three times this season. Here's when: Denver and San Antonio are two of just four teams (along with Minnesota and Philly) to field fewer than two players averaging 30 MPG."

Record: 12-19 (10th in Western Conference).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels ALT and FSOH.
