O.J. Mayo (hamstring) is set to return Tuesday against the Celtics

Mayo (hamstring) is set to return Tuesday against the Celtics, CF Gardner of the Journal Sentinel reports.

Analysis:

Mayo returned to practice last week but was held out of Friday's game against the Jazz as he continues to build back strength in his hamstring. Coach Jason Kidd, addressing the media Monday morning, confirmed that Mayo will be available Tuesday night, though he noted the Bucks will still be without John Henson, who's nursing a back injury. The veteran Mayo was a key bench piece during the Bucks surprisingly successful 2014-15 campaign, but he's fallen off a cliff this season, averaging just 9.1 points per game on 37.4 percent shooting, both career-lows by a fair margin.
