In addition, the Celtics will get Josh Richardson back for their second unit against the Mavericks.
Richardson, also in his first year with the team, missed Thursday's win over the Miami Heat with a foot injury.
Boston has won back-to-back games following a 2-5 start and can get back to .500 with a win over Luka Doncic and the 5-3 Mavericks.
