Dealing with injuries - need help

[page]

Hi everyone!
Last wave of injuries hit me hard (Marc & Vuc) and I must react in order to keep first place. The most important cats for me are 3-pointers and blocks (there is a strong competition going on in these two). Could you give me some advice with who should I drop (and pick!) to maintain status quo? My team is (9-cat, 10-team roto):

PG: Chris Paul
SG: Stephen Curry
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Serge Ibaka
C: Al Horford
G: Mike Conley
F: Ryan Anderson
UTIL: Kawhi Leonard, Amir Johnson, Jarrett Jack
BENCH: Marc Gasol*, Nikola Vucevic*, Tiago Splitter

Some interesting players on FA/waivers:
West, Delfino, Carter, Robinson, Harkless, Patterson, Bayless, D. Collison, M. James, T. Thompson, B. Wright, D. Wright, D. Green, T. Harris

Thanks in advance!

I feel you, I am getting hit hard too (Chandler, West, Lawson).

If you can win this week, 100% you pick up West. He will almost guaranteed by back next week, and potentially the end of this week (I still havent dropped him).

Losing Gasol and Vuc is big - BUT - you still have Ibaka, Horford, Johnson, Splitter, Anderson, Durant (all who average 7+ boards) so I think you should be decent there still.

If it was me, and based on your team needs from what you said, I would pick up West (if you can win while he might be out the rest of this week), and either Carter or Danny Green for the added 3s you are looking for.

And if you need someone this week instead of West, get Harris - can occasionally get you some blocks.

Help with my thread on whether I should drop Lawson for Mo if you got time

having injuries during the first week of playoff is always the case for me.... i heard drummond is coming back friday.. rebounds, blocks only if you can deal with his horific freethrow %

Thanks for your suggestions. Marc Gasol early return from injury was a turnaround; from now on, I should keep the 1st place and even consider signing Drummond. Meanwhile I'm trying to get David West - I will know for sure in a couple of hours (#5 waiver could be too low).
