Madsen played for the Lakers for three years before joining the Timberwolves this season.
"I'm sure the fans would love to see us play the Kings," Fisher said.
Malone doesn't plan to watch the Kings-Timberwolves game.
"I don't really care," he said. ``Whatever's going to happen is going to happen.''
He's more interested in having five full days of rest between series.
"We've earned the right to have some time off," he said. "Hopefully we'll use it to our advantage."
The Lakers didn't practice Sunday, and will take Tuesday off as well.
Peja Stojakovic's struggles have become a major topic during Sacramento's second-round playoff series against Minnesota.
Stojakovic, the NBA's second-leading scorer during the regular season at 24.2 points per game, is averaging just 18.4 points in the postseason and shooting 39.2 percent (73-for-186) from the field.
He isn't fazed.
Stojakovic seemed to return to regular-season form during Sunday's Game 6, a 104-87 victory by the Kings that forced Game 7 on Wednesday in Minneapolis.
He scored 22 points -- though only made 8 of 19 shots -- and swished a long 3-pointer at the halftime buzzer that gave the Kings a big lift heading into the break. He was active in the offense again, which is a key to the Kings success.
Stojakovic also missed a wide-open layin, but still could find humor in it.
"I'm just being aggressive," Stojakovic said. "A couple of them I thought were good and they were playing around the rim. I guess I wasn't good to the rim during the season."
His sub-par postseason is a surprise considering he's coming off the best season of his six-year NBA career. The All-Star forward has appeared tired at times while dealing with Trenton Hassell constantly chasing him all over the floor and fighting through screens.
"Even if the shots aren't falling, we've got to do the other things," said Stojakovic, who became the first Kings player to lead the NBA in free-throw percentage (92.7 percent) since Spudd Webb in 1994-1995 (93.4)
Peeler is out
Sacramento's Anthony Peeler was suspended for two games Monday for elbowing Minnesota's Kevin Garnett, meaning the Kings guard will miss Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals.
Peeler was suspended without pay by the NBA.
Peeler hit Garnett in the midsection with 31.2 seconds left in the third quarter of Sunday's Game 6. Peeler elbowed the league MVP in the head with 13.5 seconds remaining in the period and was ejected.
The Kings beat the Timberwolves 104-87 and forced a deciding game on Wednesday.
Garnett was fined US$7,500 for hitting Peeler in the chest with an elbow.
Peeler will serve the first game of his suspension Wednesday. He will then miss either Game 1 of the Western Conference finals or the first game of the 2004-2005 season.
