Impact Hardaway has moved into the starting lineup due to the absence of Cameron Johnson (knee), and it's safe to say the veteran is making the most of his opportunity.

Hardaway should remain productive as long as he continues to make the most of his floor-spacing ability while sharing the floor with Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic.
