The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the visiting Utah Jazz , 113 - 104 , in the first game of the season on Tuesday . The game became a back - and - forth battle in the second half , with Utah establishing a lead that was quickly reclaimed by the Blazers in the fourth quarter . The emerging dynamic duo of Damian Lillard and C.J . McCollum helped pave the way for Portland 's high - octane offensive outing , combining for 64 points , including 39 for Lillard . The pair helped facilitate a perimeter attack for the Blazers , as they contributed six of the team 's 13 three - point makes . Portland also received a boost off the bench from recently re - signed wing Allen Crabbe , who provided 18 points and four more shots from behind the arc . Utah , meanwhile , is struggling to remain healthy despite the season having barely begun . Star forwards Gordon Hayward and Derrick Favors were sidelined with injuries , as well as bench guard Alec Burks . Utah 's offense was able to fill the void , however , with significant contributions coming from newly - acquired veteran Joe Johnson ( 29 points , 12 - 16 shooting ) and sophomore Rodney Hood ( 26 points , two steals ) . It was the defensive end where Utah ultimately came up short , as the Blazers were allowed to convert on 52 percent of their field goal attempts . The Blazers will face the Clippers in Portland on Wednesday , while the Jazz will see the Lakers on Thursday . Many spent the offseason pondering who would be the first player to drop 40 points in the 2016 - 17 season , and Damian Lillard very nearly offered an immediate answer . The star point guard scored 39 points in the Trail Blazers ' win Tuesday against the Utah Jazz , grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out six assists to go along with it . With Lillard at the helm , Portland was able to pull off a phenomenal 52 percent shooting from the field . The shots seemed to fall more the farther the Blazers got from the basket , as they shot an impeccable 68 percent from 3 - point range . Neither figure stacks up to the free - throw shooting displayed by both sides , however ; of the 38 free - throws attempted by both sides in the game , there was not a single miss . Truly , an impressive shooting exhibition all - around .
