Thunder vs. Miami Heat Live Stream: Watch Online NBA Game ESPN Streaming With LeBron James and Kevin Durant

Jan 29, 2014 06:46 PM EST

The Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder are playing on Wednesday night in an ESPN NBA game and it will be live at 7 pm and streaming on the radio and the WatchESPN website online and features LeBron James and Kevin Durant going at it as the two best players in the league from AmericanAirlines Arena in South Florida.

James and Durant have been going back and forth with praise this week as ESPN hypes this game up as deciding who the better player is when that is ridiculous and now Durant will get the chance to continue his streak of 11 straight 30 point games. The Heat come in second in the east with a 32-12 record and OKC is tops out west with a 36-10 record and this easily could be an NBA finals showdown and it may have been last season had Russell Westbrook not gotten injured in the playoffs.

Speaking of last year, the Heat are coming off of a nice win at home against the San Antonio Spurs and that came after the championship last season and now they have the two best teams in the west back to back and that will be a nice test for James and company. Miami has had to play differently over the past two weeks with Dwyane Wade out of the lineup and he should be returning soon and within that time, Chris Bosh and James have stepped up and while James' numbers are down overall, he is shooting better and is hitting nearly 60 percent of his shots. James is considered the best player in the NBA and Durant might now be the best scorer and the two will get the chance to face off on Wednesday in the game on ESPN.

Check here for the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder live coverage.

James comes in after grabbing seven rebounds against the Spurs to lead the way for Miami and Bosh ended up with 24 points and he will be an important part to the game on Wednesday, as Wade will be out of the lineup again and that could be an issue for Miami come playoff time. James is averaging over 25 points with nearly seven assists and rebounds on the season and Durant is averaging close to 40 points during his streak and if he goes off, it could be a long night in South Beach.

Miami has a road game at Madison Square Garden coming on Saturday and that is the day before the Super Bowl in the Tri-State area and they come into the game on Wednesday averaging 104 points per game and they are ranked eighth in the league in that category and they are in the same spot in points allowed with less than 99 per contest. The team is fifth in assists and 30th in rebounds per game and the Thunder come in scoring 105 points per game so this one could be an offensive explosion for both sides. Durant led the way with 41 points against the Atlanta Hawks and the team comes in after a close win and they will play against the Brooklyn Nets on Friday at the Barclays Center and they are ranked in the top 10 in scoring defense as well this season.

The game will be streaming live from the ESPN website and will be on TV starting up at 7 pm for the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder.
