WATCH Heat vs. Spurs Online Live Stream: NBA 2016 Top Conference Rivals, Playoff Rankings

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

The Miami Heat battle it out on the court against the San Antonio Spurs in Week 21 of the regular season on Wednesday, March 23 at 8:30 p.m. EST from the AT&T Center in Texas. 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.

Before heading into the official playoff season, both San Antonio and Miami maintain rather impressive top spots in Marc Stein's official NBA power rankings for ESPN.com (out of a total 30 teams):

Spurs (2): "For all the reasons we've listed above and in the Warriors' comment explaining why there isn't in a new No. 1 in these rankings, we also have to admit that the Spurs had us up all night in the Committee of One's hotel room that served as this week's makeshift rankings dungeon, asking ourselves whether this was the right decision. That's how impressive the Spurs were (a) in sweeping that five-game homestand we were marveling at in this cyberspace last Monday because all five visitors showed up at the AT&T Center and (b) because San Antonio controlled the pace of Saturday night's showdown with the Dubs so thoroughly that it ranks as the slowest-paced game Golden State has played all season."

Record: 59-11 (2nd in Western Conference).

Heat (7): "Chris Bosh turns 32 this week with his basketball-playing future still very up in the air. The Heat, however, refuse to give in, playing faster and scoring freely since the Feb. 28 debut of Joe Johnson. Miami has averaged 113.6 points per 100 possessions in Johnson's 11 games, going 8-3 and posting six double-digit wins. As for the man himself: JJ is the only perimeter player in the league in that span averaging at least 15 points per game (15.7) while shooting better than 55 percent from the floor."

Record: 41-29 (3rd in Eastern Conference).

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