WATCH Raptors vs. Magic 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 Toronto Raptors battle it out on the court against the Orlando Magic in Week 11 of the regular season on Thursday, January 14 at 3:00 p.m. EST from The O2 in Florida. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the highly-anticipated Tuesday afternoon basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Now heading into mid-season, both Toronto maintains an impressive Top 10 spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Orlando still lags a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Raptors (6): "The Committee just received word that we're officially Toronto-bound in a month as part of ESPN Radio's All-Star Weekend team. So we were secretly giddy as we toiled in the rankings dungeon ... right up until we spied a few late Sunday tweets reminding us that the London-bound Raps are headed to a city we love even more when it comes to international travel. Jealous!"

Record: 24-15 (2nd in Eastern Conference).

Magic (18): "We gave you what you wanted, Magic Kingdom. We gave in and finally nudged Orlando into the upper half of these rankings... and look what happened: Narrow home losses to East teams nearby in the standings (Indy and Washington) followed a road drubbing in Detroit to begin the week. The Magic would be winless in the new year if not for a W at lowly Brooklyn."

Record: 20-18 (8th in Eastern Conference).

Today's exciting game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels NBAt and FSFL.
