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

The Toronto Raptors battle it out on the court against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Week 10 of the regular season on Monday, January 4 at 7:00 p.m. EST from the Quicken Loans Arean. 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, both Toronto and Cleveland maintain Top 10 spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Raptors (6): "Fair warning: Now that we've dribbled into 2016, brace yourself for repeated reminders about All-Star Weekend in one of The Committee's favorite cities on Earth. It's just 39 days away now... and kudos to us for having only mentioned the looming All-Star festivities in the first two of this season's 11 Raptors rankings comments thus far."

Record: 21-14 (4th in Eastern Conference).

Cavaliers (4): "LeBron James checked in for his 31st birthday last week at more than 5,000 points ahead of all-time leading scorer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at the same age. Yet for the purposes of his immediate goal - bringing that first crown to long-suffering Cleveland - far more relevant is the way LeBron's Cavs have sneaked up to No. 3 in Defensive Efficiency."

Record: 22-9 (1st in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's exciting game will be broadcasted live on local sports channel FSOH.
