Removed from injury report
Caruso (finger) is off the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Spurs.
Analysis
Caruso missed Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a sprained right finger, but the Thunder have cleared him to play Tuesday. He's averaged 5.8 points, 4.2 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.7 steals in 19.3 minutes per contest across his last nine outings, limiting his fantasy appeal outside of swipes.

Listed out Monday
Caruso is out for Monday's game against the Grizzlies due to a sprained right finger.
Analysis
Caruso's next chance to play comes on a short turnaround Tuesday in San Antonio. His vacated minutes figure to be dispersed among Luguentz Dort, Ajay Mitchell and Cason Wallace, especially if Aaron Wiggins (adductor) can't play.

Questionable for Monday
Caruso is questionable to play Monday versus Memphis due to a sprained right middle finger.
Analysis
With Monday's game being the first of a back-to-back set against an under-.500 team, Caruso will likely miss at least one of the next two contests, but we'll have a better idea of his availability for Monday based on his activity level at shootaround. If Caruso is forced to the sidelines, Cason Wallace will benefit.

Grabs 12 rebounds in loss
Caruso notched seven points (2-7 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), 12 rebounds, one assist and two blocks across 22 minutes during Friday's 112-107 loss to the Timberwolves.
Analysis
Caruso made a great contribution with the second unit, providing a good dose of defensive spark at the right moments. Although the veteran hasn't done much in the scoring column this season, he's been a valuable source of production in secondary categories. His average of 1.8 steals per game is on pace to set a career high for the ninth-year pro.
