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.
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.
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 vital 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.
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.
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.
