WATCH Bulls vs. Heat Live Stream Online, NBA 2015 Top Division Teams: Listen To Free Basketball Coverage, Power Rankings

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

The Chicago Bulls battle it out on the court against the Miami Heat in Week 23 of the 2014-2015 NBA regular season on Thursday, April 9 at 8:00 p.m. EST at the AmericanAirlines Arena in Florida. Read on to see where fans can watch and listen to a live stream of the Thursday night basketball game online and catch up-to-date feeds and coverage on highlight plays and scores.

Heading into the final weeks of the NBA regular season, the Bulls snag the steady No. 7 spot in Marc Stein's official NBA power ranking for ESPN.com with a 46-32 winning record:

"How much do the Bulls miss Derrick Rose? One example: In its 31 games without him in 2014-15, Chicago has played at a pace that would equate to the league's fifth slowest over the course of the entire season. With D-Rose in the lineup, Chicago moves halfway up the ladder to No. 15 in pace."

Chicago remains 2nd in the Central Division.

Meanwhile, the Heat maintain the No. 20 spot with 35 wins and 43 losses. The team holds 3rd place in the Southeast Division. According to Stein:

"Dwyane Wade is trying to become just the third guard ever to average 20 points and five assists in his age-33 season (and beyond), which would put him in an exclusive club with MJ and Kobe. Of course this also could be just the second time in his career that D-Wade misses the playoffs."

The game will be broadcasted live on local channels TNT and WPWR, but fans can also listen in on the radio at 1070 The Fan, WMRI ESPN, ESPN 1380, and 940 WINZ.
