Caruso returned from a one-game absence with an ankle injury, and he was able to have one of his best offensive outings of the season. This was only the third time this season that he scored at least 15 points, and his only consistent impact in fantasy basketball comes on the defensive end. The steals are solid, but he doesn’t do enough in other categories to justify a roster spot in standard leagues, even if he played well in this game.

Caruso will be back after missing Sunday’s game against Cleveland after initially being listed as questionable for this one. He’s still an excellent role player, but he hasn’t seen enough minutes this season to make much of a fantasy impact.

Caruso sprained his left ankle during Friday’s win over the Nets and did not return. His absence makes Isaiah Joe and Jared McCain players of greater importance among the Thunder reserves, especially with Ajay Mitchell also out.

Caruso did not play in Wednesday’s loss to the Spurs, one of many Thunder players who did not see action because it was part of a back-to-back. His return means fewer minutes for seldom-used reserves like Brooks Barnhizer and Chris Youngblood, who both played rotation minutes on Wednesday.

Caruso will be sidelined for the second leg of this back-to-back. Four of the five typical starters will also be out, with Cason Wallace, who is filling in for Jalen Williams, being the one who is available. Caruso’s absence should open up minutes for Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe.

Caruso is expected to miss a seventh straight game, but he wasn’t immediately ruled out, so he could be getting closer to returning. For now, Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins should continue to occupy the reserve minutes on the wing.

Caruso will be sidelined for a fourth straight game, as the Thunder look to snap a two-game skid and get back in the win column. With Caruso, Jalen Williams, and Ajay Mitchell unavailable, Cason Wallace (hip), if healthy, would be a nice streaming option for Tuesday’s contest. Kenrich Williams and Isaiah Joe could also see quality minutes and have opportunities to produce.

Caruso suffered a strained right adductor during Monday’s win over the Cavaliers, and Friday’s game will be the second that he’s missed since. Cason Wallace and Isaiah Joe have picked up a few additional minutes in Caruso’s absence, with the former starting due to Jalen Williams being out. Of the two, Wallace offers a higher fantasy upside.

Caruso will miss a second consecutive game with lower back soreness. Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe have absorbed his minutes, while Chris Youngblood picked up a few minutes at the end of Monday’s blowout loss to the Hornets. While Wiggins and Joe are worth a look in deep leagues, neither qualifies as a must-stream player.

Caruso has a sprained middle finger on his right hand, which is why he appears on the injury report. With the Thunder also playing on Tuesday, this may be viewed as an opportunity to get the veteran guard a night off. If Caruso sits, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace will figure more prominently in the rotation.

Caruso didn’t do much scoring, but the rebounds and blocked shots would make many post players proud, much less a guard like himself. He finished Friday’s defeat with season-highs in both categories. Caruso didn’t record any steals, but that’s the category in which he’s excelled recently. On Friday, his streak of four straight games with at least two steals came to an end, but he’s still averaging a career-high 1.8 per game.

Caruso will return from a four-game absence, where he will play a role off the bench on the wing. In a game with extra stakes due to the NBA Cup, Caruso could end up seeing a bump in minutes. However, with how deep OKC is, he has been difficult to rely on for fantasy production this season.

Caruso’s fantasy production hasn’t replicated how effective he is on the floor, but his second-highest minutes total of the year (24) allowed him to have a decent night in this one. He still didn’t do much scoring, but he was able to contribute decent value in other categories. Still, his role has been too inconsistent for him to be worth rostering in most formats.
