The host Portland Trail Blazers defeated the rivial Denver Nuggets on Tuesday , 122 - 113 . It was a big night for two Blazers in particular , as center Jusuf Nurkic and guard C.J . McCollum combined for 72 points for Portland ( 36 - 38 ) . Nurkic contributed a career - high scoring output of 33 points to go along with a whopping 16 rebounds and three blocks . The output came against his former team , from whom he was traded at the deadline . Nurkic was absolutely deadly from the field , shooting 12 - of - 15 from the field and 9 - of - 11 at the free - throw line . McCollum , meanwhile , shot 15 - of - 24 for a game - high 39 points . The two were the centers of a red - hot Blazers offense , as the team shot over 49 percent from the field and reached the line 33 times on the night . Denver ( 35 - 39 ) , meanwhile , saw slightly more balanced production from their scorers . Six Nuggets scored in double figures , and their own young big man nearly recorded a triple - double . Sophomore center Nikola Jokic cleaned up , recording 17 points , eight rebounds , and eight assists . However , the team simply could not slow down the two hot scorers for Portland . Foul trouble proved problematic as well , as the Nuggets got to the line 20 times but gave up 33 free - throws to Portland . The game was hugely impactful on the playoff standings , as Portland was able to pass Denver for eighth in the conference thanks to the win . Portland will host Houston on Wednesday , while Denver will visit Charlotte on Thursday . It was a huge night for Portland 's young stars , and in particular , recently acquired big man Jusuf Nurkic . Nurkic had a career - high 33 points on 12 - of - 15 shooting and 9 - of - 11 at the free - throw line against his former team . Offense was n't the only thing Nurkic provided , though , as he pulled down a whopping 16 rebounds to go along with two steals and three blocks . The young center continues to grow in his new starting role with Portland . Nurkic was not even his team 's high scorer , however , as shooting guard C.J . McCollum exploded for 39 points . McCollum shot 15 - of - 24 from the field and splashed home three three - pointers on the night . In addition , McCollum had five rebounds , three assists , and went 6 - of - 6 at the free - throw line . For Denver , young big man Nikola Jokic made an impact with 17 points , eight rebounds , and eight assists . Veteran starter Jameer Nelson also contributed somewhat surprisingly with a team - high 23 points on the night .
