"We talk about it all the time", Wall said with a smile, after his Wizards defeated Cousins and the Sacramento Kings in overtime, 101-95. Beal basically missed four straight games recently with a hamstring problem, but has been killing it in his six games since his return.

Even so, with the exception of Beal's big night and second-year forward Kelly Oubre Jr. with his best production of the season (10 points and a career-high 10 rebounds), the Wizards (6-10) did not impress. Hopefully you rolled with him over Vic Oladipo in Fanduel tonight, as they were exactly the same price. Otto Porter is averaging 14.7 points per game and pulling down 8.1 boards, in a nice little breakout season for Washington. "It's hard to get in a rhythm but we did a great job of trying to find Brad". Instead, Cousins took over, outscoring Washington 10-4 over the final 4:46. They're all locked up in their current contracts through at least 2018, but they're still young enough to figure out a way to land on the same squad at some point.

Rudy Gay added 18 points, including a 3-pointer in overtime for the Kings, who were looking for their first back-to-back game sweep of the season.

Cousins scored all but two of the Kings' points during a 12-4 run to close regulation, his last on a tough runner over Marcin Gortat to tie it at 92 with 10.1 seconds left. Monday delivered a grand improvement and model for Oubre who scored 10 points and had 10 rebounds in nearly 24 minutes on the floor, putting together his first career double-double. Barnes almost caught his second flagrant in a row as he went to challenge a Wizards layup.

Like many games this season, the Kings can't contain the shooting guard of the opposing team.

We'll just call that shot a heat check.

"Overtime - I'm sick about that, I feel like I just completely choked in the overtime, I'm not happy about the overtime", Cousins told reporters from his locker stall at the Verizon Center.

In the first quarter, Wall's constant dialogue with official Eric Lewis led to a technical foul.

Buckner noted Cousins also said, "You never know what will happen".

Since neither team has contended for an National Basketball Association championship since their respective franchise players arrived, the thought of having the former Kentucky Wildcats together in the league has always been spoken about. Sacramento has already endured a pair of four-game losing streaks this year, but has also won three of its last four entering play Monday. He scored three points Monday. He and his teammates will be looking to right the ship when the Kings play the third game in a six-game road trip Wednesday night against the 76ers in Philadelphia. For one, the Wizards are dead last in the league in three pointers attempted and three pointers made per game, and have the eighth worst three point shooting percentage at just 33.5% a game.
