The Washington Wizards ( 11 - 14 ) defeated the Charlotte Hornets 109 - 101 on Saturday . Ever since Bradley Beal was diagnosed with the initial stages of a stress fracture in his lower right fibula on December 12 , the Wizards have been even more reliant than usual on All-Star point guard John Wall . The 25 - year - old has responded well with 20 - and - 26 - point efforts in two of the three games since , but his own health was in question heading into Saturday 's contest . Wall had sprained an ankle in Friday 's practice , and there had been some doubt shortly thereafter as to whether he 'd be healthy enough to take the court . With Otto Porter already ruled out for the game with a thigh bruise , the Wizards were facing the grim possibility of taking on a talented Hornets squad without three starters . However , Wall answered the bell and shook off the ankle tweak to post his fifth straight double - double performance . He amassed 27 points , 12 assists , four rebounds , three steals and a block over 42 outstanding minutes to lead Washington to an important Eastern Conference victory . Charlotte received a balance offensive effort from their starters , with Kemba Walker leading the way with 18 points , three rebounds , two assists and three steals . Nicolas Batum , who 'd missed Charlotte 's last game with an illness , came back to contribute across the stat sheet , tallying 14 points , eight assists , six rebounds , three steals and a block . Cody Zeller and P.J . Hairston were the other two starters in double digits , with 11 and 10 points , respectively . Marvin Williams was the only Hornets starter to score under ten points , but still came within a point and an assist of a double - double . Jeremy Lin followed up his stellar 35 - point effort as a starter in Batum 's stead on Thursday with a 15 - point outing that paced the Hornets bench . The Hornets fell to 15 - 11 and are now in a second - place tie with the Orlando Magic in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division . They travel to Houston to face the Rockets on Monday . In addition to Wall 's memorable performance , the Wizards also got quality play from the fill - ins for their two injured starters . Kelly Oubre , Jr. did a solid job replacing Otto Porter for the evening , managing eight points , five rebounds and a block over 22 minutes . Meanwhile , Garrett Temple , who 'd turned in sub - par efforts in Bradley Beal 's stead in the first three games as his replacement , exploded for a season - high 21 points ( on a season - best 78 shooting percentage from the field ) , five rebounds , three assists and two blocks . Jared Dudley ( 19 points , nine rebounds , four assists , two steals ) and Marcin Gortat ( 18 points , six rebounds , an assist , a steal and four blocks ) rounded out what was an outstanding night for the Washington starters . With such productive outings from their front - line players , the Wizards only needed 16 points from their bench in the victory . Washington improved to 11 - 14 but remains in last place in the Eastern Conference 's Southeast Division . They face off against the Sacramento Kings at home on Monday .
