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.

EDGE 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 chipped in 20 points (7-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-7 FT), three rebounds, one block and five steals over 30 minutes during Friday's 111-104 victory over the Pacers in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso continues to be a thorn in the side of Indiana, scoring at least 20 points for the second time in the past four games. To highlight just how important his scoring has been, Caruso had scored at least 20 points only once all season prior to the NBA finals. He has also recorded multiple steals in five of the past six games, providing the Thunder with a consistent defensive presence. The series is now level at 2-2 with Game 5 slated for Monday in Oklahoma City.

Caruso logged 20 points (6-11 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds and one assist over 27 minutes during Sunday's 123-107 win over Indiana in Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso matched his playoff-high mark of 20 points in the win, as the Thunder evened the series at one win apiece. With the Thunder using a lot of small-ball lineups in this series, Caruso could be heavily involved the rest of the way. Through two games against the Pacers, he's averaging 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.0 blocks, 1.5 steals and 2.5 three-pointers.

Caruso closed with 10 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist and two steals in 33 minutes during Monday's 128-126 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso stepped into a larger role, starting the second half in place of Isaiah Hartenstein. After playing just 10 minutes in the Game 3 loss, the coaching staff opted to go small against the Timberwolves. Although his numbers don't jump off the page, Caruso has been pivotal for the Thunder, providing a consistent defensive presence while also landing a handful of key baskets. The two teams will meet again in Oklahoma City on Wednesday, with the Thunder now just one win away from advancing to the Western Conference Finals.

Caruso registered nine points (3-4 FG, 3-3 3Pt) and three rebounds across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 114-88 victory over the Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso didn't offer a lot in the victory, used somewhat sparingly as the Thunder walked away with a comfortable victory. After having scored double-digits in four straight games, Caruso turned in a relatively empty performance, failing to record a defensive stat. With that said, he will almost certainly be called upon to play a key role throughout the series, something he has done throughout the season. The two teams will lock horns again Thursday, with Oklahoma City looking to assert itself before heading to Minnesota.

Caruso totaled 13 points (4-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and two assists over 24 minutes during Tuesday's 112-105 victory over the Nuggets in Game 5 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso notched his third double-digit scoring effort of the series and fifth of the postseason in Tuesday's Game 5 win. The defensive ace went without a steal or block for the second straight game, but on the flip side, he knocked down multiple three-pointers for the third game in a row. Caruso continuing to cash in on open jumpers would be huge for the Thunder in their quest for a title.

Caruso ended with 10 points (3-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds and two assists across 28 minutes during Sunday's 92-87 win over the Nuggets in Game 4 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso's production has been all over the place in this series. Still, the second unit for the Thunder was pivotal in this win with Caruso, Aaron Wiggins and Cason Wallace combining to score 32 points. Through four games of this series, Caruso holds averages of 9.8 points, 2.5 assists, 1.8 rebounds, 0.8 blocks, 1.5 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in just 21.8 minutes.

Caruso recorded 20 points (7-12 FG, 5-9 3Pt, 1-2 FT), one rebound, six assists, two blocks and five steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 121-119 loss to the Nuggets in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso was fantastic despite the loss, providing elite production on both ends of the floor. He was one of only two Thunder players to score at least 20 points, while the seven combined steals and blocks marked a season high. Although he continues to come off the bench, Caruso's impact cannot be overstated, and he will likely play a key role for Oklahoma City as the series progresses.

Caruso amassed 10 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, three assists, one block and four steals across 23 minutes during Thursday's 114-108 win over Memphis in Game 3 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso turned in a vintage performance, tallying five defensive stats as the Thunder stole the victory against the Grizzlies. Despite an injury-plagued season, this is exactly why Oklahoma City acquired Caruso in the first place. His ability to play lock-down defense takes some of the pressure off Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Jalen Williams. The two teams will face off again Saturday, where the Thunder will look to wrap up the series.

Caruso totaled 13 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals over 22 minutes during Tuesday's 118-99 win over the Grizzlies in Game 2 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

Caruso wasn't utilized much in Game 1 due to the lopsided score, playing 12 minutes without a single point. Game 2 was a little closer, however, and was more indicative of what Caruso's role could look like going forward.
