Larger role incoming? According to Bryan Toporek of Forbes, Oklahoma City's offseason salary-saving moves resulted in the departures of Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins and Luguentz Dort.

Impact Caruso's defensive versatility and championship experience should make him an even more valuable part of the Thunder's rotation, though he'll continue to share minutes with Cason Wallace, Ajay Mitchell and rookie Jared McCain. His fantasy value should remain strongest in leagues that reward defensive production.

Impact Caruso entered Saturday's win-or-go-home contest having connected on 55.7 percent of his three-point attempts over the first six games of the series, but he was unable to carry that efficiency into Game 7. His 39 minutes of playing time were his most of the season and was second-most on the Thunder behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (43 minutes). Caruso scored in double digits in five of seven games of the series and will end the Western Conference Finals having averaged 14.9 points, 2.6 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.9 threes over 26.1 minutes per game. Caruso has been a key piece to the Thunder's success since being acquired from the Bulls during the 2024 offseason and is under contract with Oklahoma City for two more seasons.
