Alex Caruso accounted for 14 points (4-of-6 FGs, 2-of-2 FTs), seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and four three-pointers in Wednesday’s loss to the Trail Blazers.

The Thunder didn’t have Ajay Mitchell for Wednesday’s game, opening a spot in the starting lineup for Caruso. He took advantage of the opportunity, shooting 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Caruso’s 14 points were a new season high for him, as he totaled 17 points in the first four games he played upon returning from an ankle injury. If Mitchell remains out for Friday’s game against the Clippers, Caruso would be worth rostering in 14-team leagues and some 12-team leagues.
