Fantasy Impact:
After initially being questionable for today’s match-up due to a strained hand, Caruso’s participation in the league's health and safety protocols add a new layer of concern regarding his future availability. The undrafted fourth-year pro has been a steadfast contributor in the Lakers' rotation, averaging 13.4 minutes of playing time, 5.3 points, 1.7 rebounds, 1.0 assists, and 0.7 steals per game this season while shooting 54.5 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent from beyond the arc. Despite being a valued contributing team member, he should not be relied upon for consistent, if any, long-term fantasy value.
