Blake Griffin - Detroit Pistons
It's not surprising that the Pistons' Blake Griffin is the early season scoring leader. He put up a 50-point performance in an overtime win against the Sixers. Griffin is currently averaging 36.3 points per game to lead the league.
Through his first 3 games, Blake Griffin (averaging 36.3 PPG) is getting buckets at every level.

Stephen Curry - Golden State Warriors
The two-time NBA MVP has been the early leader for the champions. Curry's averaging 34.6 points a game and shooting 55 percent overall. He's also got that deadly three-point rate of 52.4 percent. Talk about a shooter!

Zach LaVine - Chicago Bulls
Zach LaVine is not a name many people might have expected to pop up on the NBA scoring leaders. LaVine has mostly been known for his dunking skills, but now he's leading Chicago to new heights. The Bulls star is averaging 32.3, so far, in the new season, as he looks to stay healthy.
