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

The New York Knicks battle it out on the court against the Golden State Warriors in Week 20 of the regular season on Wednesday, March 16 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Oracle Arena in California. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated late Wednesday evening basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Before heading into the official playoff season, Golden State maintains the impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while NY still lags way behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Warriors (1): "Prepare to hear about a zillion times over the next few days about how Golden State hasn't won a regular-season game in San Antonio in 32 tries dating to Valentine's Day 1997, four months before the Spurs drafted Tim Duncan. ESPN's Basketball Power Index says the Warriors -- who won't have Andre Iguodala -- only have a 34 percent chance of winning Saturday night's showdown."

Record: 60-6 (1st in Western Conference).

Knicks (22): "Any hope of us focusing on the Jose Calderon game-winner late Sunday that spared Phil Jackson's Knicks from embarrassment at Staples Center against his old pal Kobe Bryant was wiped out as soon as No. 24 uncorked this pro-Phil gem of a quote that will surely ranks as one of the nicest gifts that the Zen Master can count on as he commemorates anniversary No. 2 as Knicks president this week."

Record: 28-40 (13th in Western Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels MSG and CSBA.
