Randolph (knee) is officially active for Tuesday's matchup with the Mavericks, Earl Sneed of Mavs.com reports.

Analysis:

Randolph sat out the last two games with lingering knee soreness, but it sounds as though he felt strong enough in warmups to return to the lineup Tuesday. Look for him to slide back into the starting lineup, pushing JaMychal Green back into a bench role. Considering he's fresh off an injury, beware of a potential minutes restriction, although nothing has been reported indicating he'll be limited at this point in time.
