WATCH Bucks vs. Heat 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 Milwaukee Bucks battle it out on the court against the Miami Heat in Week 12 of the regular season on Tuesday, January 19 at 7:30 p.m. EST from the American Airlines Arena in Florida. 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.

Now heading into mid-season, Miami maintains an impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Milwaukee stills lags behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Heat (12): "Ready to feel old? Dwyane Wade celebrated his 34th birthday Sunday ... as LeBron James helpfully reminded us by sending his well wishes. Have to say, though, that D-Wade is aging pretty gracefully, even as his Heaters struggle on the road. He sports a PER in the 20s (21.1) for the 12th successive season, which is something only his buddy Bron has managed to do over the same time span."

Record: 23-18 (5th in Eastern Conference).

Bucks (21): "In a season when so much has gone wrong -- we refer you to this vintage Zach Lowe deep dive if you want to get into a lot more than we can here -- here's something going right: Khris Middleton is averaging 21.8 PPG in January. Last week was arguably Milwaukee's best week of the season (with home W's over Chicago and Atlanta as well as a win in Charlotte), and its $70 million man was the spark."

Record: 18-25 (13th in Eastern Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on local sports channels FSWI and SUN.
