WATCH Celtics vs. Pacers Live Stream Online: NBA 2016 Top Conference Rivals, Playoff Rankings

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

The Boston Celtics battle it out on the court against the Indiana Pacers in Week 20 of the regular season on Tuesday, March 15 at 7:00 p.m. EST from the Bankers Life Fieldhouse. 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.

Before heading into the playoff season, both Boston and Indiana maintain rather impressive top spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Pacers (12): "The Pacers endured their worst loss of the season in Sunday's 29-point drubbing in Atlanta, which naturally dulls some of the shine from what had otherwise been a fine week, thanks to a home win over San Antonio and success in Dallas in Monta Ellis' return to Big D. Now to see what sort of impact Ty Lawson can make in Indy's final 16 games, 11 of which are helpfully at home."     

Record: 35-31 (7th in Western Conference).

Celtics (9): "Larry Bird, Reggie Lewis, Robert Parish, Kevin Gamble and Brian Shaw. That was the Celtics' last starting lineup back in January 1991, until last Wednesday night, to know how it feels to win a 14th straight home game. But that streak was gone two nights later and Jae Crowder is suddenly poised to miss at least two weeks, which only figures to make the race for the East's No. 3 seed tighter."      

Record: 39-27 (3rd in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels CSNE and FSIN.
