Rookie impresses again Griffin ended with 24 points (11-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and three steals over 35 minutes during Friday's 117-109 win over Denver.
Impact Griffin has been one of the most productive rookies in the league this season, and while he was trusted with a more significant role due to the absence of De'Andre Hunter (hip), he stepped up and finished as Atlanta's second-best offensive player behind Dejounte Murray. Griffin made his second start of the season and posted his season-best scoring mark, but his performances have improved significantly over the last few weeks. The former Duke star has scored in double digits in six of his last eight appearances.

Impact Griffin put together a stellar shooting night, knocking down three shots from beyond the arc for the first time this season. He's put up 17 points in back-to-back matchups and has notably totaled four steals over that brief stretch.

Impact With De'Andre Hunter (illness) sidelined, Griffin will move into the lineup for the first start of his NBA career.
