Ruled out for Wednesday
Caruso won't play Wednesday against the Pelicans due to right hip soreness.
Analysis
Caruso will miss his first game of the season due to the injury. With the veteran guard sidelined, players such as Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace will be candidates to absorb more minutes. Caruso should be considered day-to-day in advance of the Thunder's next game Friday against the Suns.

Season-high 12 points Monday
Caruso ended Monday's 134-128 victory over the Clippers with 12 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal across 20 minutes.
Analysis
Caruso led the bench in scoring while posting a season-high 12 points in the win. The 30-year-old has struggled offensively through 11 regular-season outings, during which he has averaged 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.7 steals while shooting 30.9 percent from the floor across 19.5 minutes per game. While Caruso shouldn't be expected to provide double-digit scoring on a nightly basis, his defensive abilities have been crucial off the bench for the Thunder, and he'll likely continue to receive significant playing time in a stacked rotation.

Offense still behind defense
Caruso closed with two points (1-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt), six rebounds, four assists, two blocks and four steals in 22 minutes during Wednesday's 124-122 loss to the Nuggets.
Analysis
Caruso could not find his touch in Wednesday's loss and has yet to score more than six points in a game. His 23.7 field-goal percentage is frustrating for fantasy managers, not to mention his 19.9 minutes per game. Still, Caruso is providing 2.0 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. If steals are what you're looking for, he's delivering. Eventually, he'll start shooting more efficiently, and maybe his minutes will increase along with it.
