WATCH Cavaliers vs. Wizards Live Stream Online: NBA 2016 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 Washington Wizards in Week 10 of the regular season on Wednesday, January 6 at 7:00 p.m. EST from the Verizon Center in Washington, DC. 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, Cleveland maintains an impressive Top 10 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Washinton still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Wizards (20): "Shame on us for not anticipating Marcin Gortat's Eastern Conference Player of the Week honors by at least mentioning him in this space last Monday. Don't blame us, though, for eagerly awaiting Wednesday's Cavs-Wizards encounter after John Wall's recent lament about Kyrie Irving's All-Star vote total even after missing Cleveland's first 24 games."

Record: 15-17 (12th 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: 23-9 (1st in Eastern Conference).

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