Al Jefferson: (Knee) Playing Monday

Jefferson (knee) will take the court Monday against the Celtics, MassLive.com reports.

Analysis:

Jefferson has had his left knee drained two times in the last week. In five games during that span, he's logged between 17 and 40 minutes of action, averaging 15.4 points (on 48 percent shooting), 8.4 boards, 1.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 29 minutes. While he'll start, per usual, his workload has been dependent on the evening in question, making him somewhat difficult to trust for production.
