2024 Fantasy Outlook
Caruso will begin his tenure with the Thunder following an offseason trade from the Bulls, coming off a career-best year in which he ended as the 50th-ranked player in nine-category formats. His numbers across the board represented career-high marks, averaging 10.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.7 steals, 1.0 blocks and 1.9 three-pointers in 28.7 minutes per game. Caruso lands in Oklahoma City having built a reputation as one of the best wing defenders in the league. Already arguably the best team in the Western Conference, the Thunder will look to Caruso to guard the opponent's best player on a nightly basis. He will likely slide in as the starting two-guard alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, playing close to 30 minutes per night. Health has been an issue in the past, although Caruso has played in 67 and 71 games in each of the past two seasons. If he can stay on the floor, Caruso should be able to maintain mid-round value thanks to his defensive output and ability to spread the floor. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $81.1 million contract extension with the Thunder in December of 2024. 
Shines in Game 7 win
Caruso produced 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one block and three steals across 32 minutes during Sunday's 103-91 victory over the Pacers in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
ANALYSIS
Alex Caruso played a key role in 2025-26, and his role elevated in the postseason with the Thunder leaning on smaller lineups. It goes without saying, but Caruso was instrumental in their run to the NBA Championship. The veteran shooting guard appeared in 54 regular-season contests, posting 10th-round fantasy value on a per-game basis with averages of 7.1 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 1.6 steals and 0.6 blocks in 19.3 minutes per contest.

Caruso was limited to just 41 games during the 2021-22 campaign due to injuries. Although he played a career-high 67 games last season, he still dealt with a lingering foot issue that limited his availability down the stretch. When he was on the court, the 29-year-old's production declined overall. He averaged 5.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.5 steals in 23.5 minutes per game, all down from his first year in Chicago. The Bulls tinkered with their starting lineup last season, and Caruso got the nod in 36 of his 67 appearances. The team also opted for a smaller lineup late in the year, so he took on a starting role in 18 of his last 19 outings but didn't see a significant uptick in production. The Bulls also added Jevon Carter to their backcourt during the offseason to replace Patrick Beverley, and Carter proved capable of handling a starting job during his time in Milwaukee. With Lonzo Ball out in recent years, the Bulls haven't gotten much production out of their replacement point guards. Caruso and Ayo Dosunmu haven't shown much promise when available, so it's certainly possible the team gives Carter some chances to contribute. Caruso's availability has been a significant concern throughout his career, and he struggled to showcase much upside when healthy last season. With increased competition for minutes in the backcourt, Caruso isn't necessarily a player to prioritize in fantasy drafts.
