It's finally that time of year - basketball season!
The New York Knicks battle it out on the court against the Houston Rockets in Week 4 of the 2014 regular season on Monday, November 24 at 8:00 p.m. EST at the Toyota Center in Texas. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Monday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.
To kick-off the NBA regular season, the Rockets snag the impressive No. 8 spot in Josh Martin's official NBA power ranking for Bleacher Report with a 10-3 winning record:
"The Houston Rockets have to hope that Dwight Howard's knee strain doesn't turn out to be anything serious. They've lost both of their games from which he's been absent, including a 98-92 defeat to the swagtastic Lakers... That game, though, should give Houston hope for the long haul. James Harden finally had himself a Beard-like outing, piling up 24 points on just 11 field-goal attempts. Greek rookie Kostas Papanikolaou put up a career-high 19 points off the bench. The team as a whole knocked down 15 threes on one end and frustrated Kobe Bryant into a 10-of-28 shooting night on the other... Howard will be back at some point, and the Rockets will be whole when he does. If there's any real cause for consternation in Space City, it's the fact that the Rockets have been handled by both of the actually good teams they've faced so far-a 119-93 annihilation in Memphis being the more worrisome of Houston's two such defeats. Because, well, Dwight was out for the other one, against the Warriors."
Meanwhile, the Knicks currently hold the meager No. 28 spot (out of 30 total teams), also with four wins and ten losses. According to Martin:
"Do you hear that? That combination of screeching and sirens coming from the island of Manhattan? Don't worry, that's just New York Knicks fans losing their you-know-what over their you-know-what-y start to the Derek Fisher era. They fell to 3-10 after getting blown out on the road by the Minnesota Timberwolves... But it's not the hallowed triangle offense that's letting New York down; it ranks right in the middle of the pack in offensive efficiency. Rather, it's the team's 28th-ranked defense that's the greatest cause for concern... As The Wall Street Journal's Chris Herring sees it, there may not be much hope for a turnaround on that end in the Big Apple: 'The Knicks aren't dealing with an effort problem. If anything, they're losing because of a lack of defensive talent and odd, if not flawed, strategies on that end of the court.' The impending returns of Jose Calderon and Andrea Bargnani (per the New York Post's Marc Berman) don't figure to change that."
The game will be broadcasted live on local channels MSG and CSNH, but fans can also listen in on the radio at WIOL, WFAN, KOGT, and KSIX.
