Turner (knee) is now expected to play Monday versus the Mavericks, Jay King of MassLive.com reports.

Analysis:

It was reported about an hour before tip-off that Turner was not expected to play Monday, but it appears the Celtics have changed their mind at the last minute. Turner will give it a go, but expect head coach Brad Stevens to have a short leash with him if it appears his knee is slowing him up.
