WATCH Warriors vs. Timberwolves Live Stream Online, NBA 2014, Best vs. Worst Team! Listen To Free Basketball Coverage From Minneapolis, Power Rankings

It's finally that time of year - basketball season!

The Golden State Warriors battle it out on the court against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Week 6 of the 2014 NBA regular season on Monday, December 8 at 8:00 p.m. EST at the Target Center in Minneapolis. 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.

Heading into the first few weeks of the NBA regular season, the Warriors snag the impressive No. 1 spot in Josh Martin's official NBA power ranking for Bleacher Report with a 17-2 winning record:

"The Golden State Warriors did something on Thursday that they'd only done once before in their franchise history, nearly 43 years ago: win an 11th consecutive game... Back then, Jim Barnett, Nate Thurmond and Cazzie Russell were among those who led Al Attles' Warriors to a 113-106 win over the Sixers of the Billy Cunningham-Fred Carter vintage. This time around, the Splash Brothers (i.e., Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson) were two of five Dubs in double figures in a 112-85 flattening of Anthony Davis' Pelicans... Those Warriors of old went on to win 51 games before flaming out against Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Oscar Robertson's Bucks in the first round of the playoffs. With any luck, today's Golden State squad, which also won 51 games and lost in the first round last season, will blow past both of those benchmarks on the way to a historic playoff push... A franchise-record 16-2 start certainly doesn't hurt."

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves currently hold the meager No. 30 spot (out of only 30 total teams), with only four wins and fifteen losses. According to Martin:

"The Minnesota Timberwolves share more in common with the Detroit Pistons than they might like to admit. Both are Midwestern teams that basically haven't been relevant since the mid-2000s. Both still stink... And now these Wolves, like last year's Pistons, share the dubious distinction of saving the Philadelphia 76ers from unshared infamy. This past March, Detroit rolled over and played dead long enough for Philly to score a win-and a 25-point one, at that-after suffering through a record-tying 26 straight defeats... This time around, the Sixers would have tied the 2009-10 New Jersey Nets for the worst start to a season (0-18) if not for the charity that the Wolves offered their visitors... Minnesota's misery is no mystery, of course. Losing Kevin Love over the summer hurt, but it's injuries to Ricky Rubio, Nikola Pekovic and Kevin Martin, the guiding lights of this forlorn franchise, that have set the squad back again... It's no wonder, then, that the Wolves (and Sixers) were so lost at the start on Wednesday. When Corey Brewer is your only veteran with tenure in town, you're bound to wind up in the woods at some point... Good defense is predicated on trust. If the Nets don't develop more of that in the weeks and months to come, they'll have a tough time hanging around the playoff picture in the Eastern Conference."
