Thunder's Alex Caruso: Strong showing as starter
Caruso ended with 14 points (5-11 FG, 2-7 3Pt, 2-4 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 31 minutes during Sunday's 103-101 win over the Clippers.
Caruso replaced Kenrich Williams in the starting lineup and produced one of the best lines of his season. Although he's played an average of 19.4 minutes per game this campaign, Caruso has been an 11th-round value in nine-category fantasy formats on a per-game basis because of his elite steal rate and ability to contribute across the board.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Starting Sunday
Caruso will start in Sunday's game against the Clippers, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
The defensive-minded swingman will supplant Kenrich Williams in the starting five on Sunday. Over his last five outings, Caruso has averaged 8.6 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.0 blocks across 19.2 minutes per contest.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Plays well in 23 minutes
Caruso closed with 10 points (4-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-3 FT), three rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal across 23 minutes during Sunday's 121-105 win over the Bucks.
Caruso's ability to contribute across the board makes him an underrated fantasy contributor, and he was able to take advantage of a handful of extra minutes due to Luguentz Dort (hip) being sidelined. For the season, Caruso is on pace for 11th-round value in nine-category formats in just 19.2 minutes per game with 6.5 points, 2.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.7 steals and 0.5 blocks.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Absent from injury report
Caruso (illness) is not listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game against Detroit.
Caruso was a late scratch prior to Wednesday's game against Boston due to an illness, but he's set to be available for Saturday. With Chet Holmgren resting and Aaron Wiggins dealing with an illness, Caruso could see an uptick in playing time against the Pistons. The veteran guard has averaged 8.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.4 steals, 0.7 blocks and 1.4 three-pointers in 19.1 minutes while shooting 48.1 percent from deep over nine games since the All-Star break.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Iffy for Wednesday
Caruso is questionable for Wednesday's game versus Boston due to an illness, Brandon Rahbar of DailyThunder.com reports.
Caruso was a late addition to the injury report, which doesn't bode well for his chances of being cleared ahead of the 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff. If Caruso joins Jalen Williams (hip) on the sideline Wednesday, the Thunder would likely rely more heavily on Luguentz Dort, Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Won't play Wednesday vs. Boston
Caruso (illness) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Celtics, Jay King of The Athletic reports.
Caruso was a late addition to Wednesday's injury report due to an illness severe enough for him to be ruled out for Wednesday's contest. He'll have two days to recover before the Thunder's next game against the Pistons on Saturday. Cason Wallace, Aaron Wiggins and Isaiah Joe figure to see extended playing time off the bench Wednesday due to Caruso's absence.

Caruso (ankle) has been cleared to play in Friday's game against the Trail Blazers.
Caruso will be back in action after missing Wednesday's 120-103 win over the Grizzlies due to a left ankle sprain. The defensive-minded guard will likely have more offensive responsibilities on his plate Friday, as the Thunder have ruled out Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (rest), Cason Wallace (knee) and Luguentz Dort (knee) for the game.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Ruled out against Memphis
Caruso (ankle) has been ruled out for Wednesday's game against the Grizzlies.
Caruso will miss a game for the 24th time this season, which is a costly blow to the team's depth in the backcourt, especially on the defensive end of the floor. Isaiah Joe (back) has been listed as questionable for this game, so Oklahoma City might need to lean on Aaron Wiggins to potentially help shoulder the load in the backcourt.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Doesn't return Monday
Caruso (undisclosed) briefly exited to the locker room during Monday's 137-128 win over Houston before returning to the bench in the second quarter, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports. However, he did not return and finished the game with zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across five minutes.
Caruso left for the locker room in the first quarter, though he was back on the club's bench for the second. The Thunder will likely provide further details on the veteran swingman's status ahead of Wednesday's game against Memphis.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Not listed on injury report
Caruso (rest) isn't listed on the Thunder's injury report for Sunday's game against the Spurs.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Sitting out Friday
Caruso is out for Friday's game against the Hawks for rest purposes.
The veteran guard will take a seat Friday, clearing up some extra minutes for Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins in Oklahoma City's rotation. Caruso should be able to return to the Thunder's lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Spurs.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Notches two steals in return
Caruso (hip) recorded eight points (3-4 FG, 2-2 3Pt), six assists, three rebounds and two steals across 18 minutes in Friday's 130-107 win over the Jazz.
Caruso missed the Thunder's final game before the All-Star break Feb. 13 versus the Timberwolves on account of left hip tightness, but the week-long hiatus provided him with enough time to heal up before Oklahoma City's first game of the second half. The Thunder also welcomed back fellow wing Cason Wallace (shoulder) back from a seven-game absence, leaving limited playing time to go around for all of Wallace (22 minutes), Caruso, Aaron Wiggins (22 minutes), Luguentz Dort (26 minutes) and Isaiah Joe (18 minutes). Caruso has shown that even while playing under 20 minutes he can bring value as a streaming option for steals, but the lack of major playing time will likely prevent him from emerging as a must-roster player in 12-team leagues or shallower.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Available vs. Utah
Caruso (hip) is not on the injury report for Friday's game against the Jazz.
Caruso missed the Thunder's final game before the All-Star break with a hip issue, but the veteran guard will be able to return to the hardwood Friday. That said, even though he brings a lot to the table on the defensive end, he doesn't carry a lot of fantasy upside in most formats due to his lack of scoring and second-unit role.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Won't play against Minnesota
Caruso (hip) is out for Thursday's game versus the Timberwolves.
Caruso will remain out Thursday after suffering a left hip injury against Miami. Isaiah Joe will likely continue to receive increased playing time in his absence. Caruso's next chance to suit up will come after the All-Star break against the Jazz on Feb. 21.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Departs with hip injury
Caruso has been ruled out for the remainder of Wednesday's game against Miami due to left hip tightness, Rylan Stiles of FanSided.com reports.
Caruso exits Wednesday's tilt with two points (0-1 FG, 2-2 FT), two assists and one rebound across 13 minutes. Look for Isaiah Joe and Dillon Jones to see more minutes the rest of the way. The Thunder will be back in action Thursday at Minnesota.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Slides to bench vs. New Orleans
Caruso will come off the bench in Monday's matchup against the Pelicans, Andrew Schlecht of The Athletic reports.
The 30-year-old swingman will revert back to his normal role off the bench with Luguentz Dort returning to game action. Over his last five outings off the bench, Caruso has averaged 7.0 points, 3.6 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 2.0 steals across 20.2 minutes per game.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Another double-digit performance
Caruso ended Saturday's 125-112 victory over the Grizzlies with 14 points (5-10 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes.
Caruso scored double-digit points for the second straight game, the first time he has achieved that feat all season. He was given the starting nod for the first time since joining the Thunder, filling in after Luguentz Dort (back), Cason Wallace (shoulder) and Chet Holmgren (rest) were all ruled out. While the 27 minutes are very encouraging, there is no reason to think this will be a regular theme given what we have seen from Caruso to this point.

Caruso registered 12 points, six rebounds, four assists, three steals and one block over 20 minutes during the Thunder's 121-109 win over the Raptors on Friday.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Available against Phoenix
Caruso (ankle) has been cleared to play in Wednesday's game against the Suns, Clemente Almanza of USA Today reports.
After missing three straight games for the Thunder while nursing an ankle injury, Caruso will get back on the floor Wednesday against Phoenix. The veteran guard has been in and out of the lineup all season with injuries. Still, when he's healthy and available, he's a game-changer defensively for Oklahoma City, averaging a career-high 1.8 steals per game in his first year with the team.

Thunder's Alex Caruso: Out against Bucks
Caruso (ankle) will not play against the Bucks on Monday.
