I recently lost Chris Paul to injury (picked up Darren Collison) and it now looks like Paul Pierce has gone down with a foot injury. My current roster options to replace him are Mike Conley or Raymond Felton. Or I can drop one of them (or perhaps Andris Biedrins as I also have Kendrick Perkins) to pick up Tony Allen, Pierce’s likely replacement. Should I stick with what I have or go after Allen? Pool categories are FG percentage, 3-pointers made, points, rebounds, steals, assists and blocks. Help!

Hey Grant,

Good score on Collison; I grabbed him in my league as well, and am already getting trade offers!

As for Pierce, his injury isn’t serious, so I wouldn’t panic. Forget about Allen; he’s a one or two-game solution and not a great one at that.

Assuming this is a daily lineup change league, I’d plug Felton in Wednesday, and then swap him with Conley after the game.

Pierce is a very quick healer; don’t sweat it.

I think that Hill has got to be your man. Starting pitching comes and goes, but a 30-homer guy in the middle infield just can’t be passed up. I’ve now done approximately 20 mock drafts this year and have found there to be plenty of options to fill out your pitching, but 2B, SS, and especially 3B, gets a tad thin fairly quickly. Shore up those slots as early as you can. With that great group of keepers and those two first round picks you should be in for a great 2010 season. more

I am in a single-season, 12-team hockey pool. I have to dump Nikolai Khabibulin and use one of my two remaining waiver moves for the year (so I need it to count). more

I have eight wins and six losses in my 10-team Fantasy hockey league, putting me in fifth place. Categories include goals, assists, plus/minus, PPG, PPA, hits and blocked shots. more

Okay, let’s see if we can make some sense out of your conundrum. I think the easiest way to tackle this one is through the process of elimination with the sheer number of players we have to evaluate. more
