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

The Houston Rockets battle it out on the court against the Golden State Warriors in Week 15 of the regular season on Tuesday, February 9 at 10:30 p.m. EST from the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA. 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 All-Star weekend,Golden State maintains the extremely impressive top spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com, while Houston lags just a bit behind (out of a total 30 teams):

Warriors (1): "April 10, 2014. That's the last time Golden State squandered a 15-point lead. The Warriors are up to 97-0 since in such situations, turning back OKC after the Thunder erased a 20-point deficit. The Dubs have likewise won their past 54 regular-season games in which they led after three quarters, which is the longest such streak since Utah won 67 in a row from November 1997 to March 1999."     

Record: 46-4 (1st in Western Conference).

Rockets (14): "As covered last week in great detail in conjunction with our pal Calvin Watkins, all the current signals suggest that the Rockets are more likely than not to keep Dwight Howard beyond the Feb. 18 trade deadline. Yet it's undeniably factual to point out that the Rockets are 5-0 in 2016 when Howard isn't in uniform... compared to 6-8 when he is available."

Record: 27-26 (7th in Western Conference).

Tonight's big game will be broadcasted live on your local TNT sports channel.
