Thunder vs. Mavericks Live Stream WATCH Online: NBA 2016 Conference Rankings, Playoff Updates

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

The Oklahoma City Thunder battle it out on the court against the Dallas Mavericks in Week 11 of the regular season on Wednesday, January 13 at 8:00 p.m. EST from the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma. 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, Oklahoma City maintains a rather impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Dallas lags just a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Thunder (4): "The home defeat to Sacramento that began the week came with an alibi: Kevin Durant sat out with a sprained big right toe. The late fade Sunday night in Portland was harder to take, with Durant and Russell Westbrook side-by-side, but OKC is a rather solid 23-8 when KD is in uniform while trailing only the Warriors and Spurs in nightly point differential (plus-7.7). "

Record: 27-12 (3rd in Western Conference).

Mavericks (11): "One area where the West is definitely not down: West coaches still face the usual glut of worthy frontcourt contenders for All-Star berths. Dare we say that Dirk Nowitzki is one of the prime troublemakers, too, averaging nearly 18 points and 7 boards in 30.7 MPG, still the best player, at 37, for a team three or four slots higher in the standings than anyone expected."

Record: 22-17 (5th in Western Conference).

Tonight's game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels FSSW and FSOK.
