The Portland Trail Blazers ( 15 - 21 ) defeated the Denver Nuggets ( 12 - 22 ) 112 - 106 on Sunday night . In a close game throughout , the Blazers simply made more plays late to close out a big road win . Denver allowed Portland to get too many easy baskets and it was clear they had some tired legs here in the back end of a back - to - back set . The Trail Blazers shot over 50 percent from the field and scored 32 points over the final 12 minutes to close things out . Nuggets power forward Kenneth Faried made a shocking start here , as he was carted off the court with what appeared to be a serious neck injury just the night before . Portland has now won four of their last five games , with all of those wins coming without Damian Lillard . C.J . McCollum continues to play at an All-Star level in his absence , as he tallied 25 points , seven assists and three rebounds in the win . Allen Crabbe and Al-Farouq Aminu provided 14 points a piece as well . Gerald Henderson was the hero off the bench , as he scored 19 points in just 24 minutes . Portland came into this game with a 6 - 15 record on the road , so a win like this can be a big momentum booster going forward in a tough environment like Denver . They have a tough task on Monday though , as they have to take on the Memphis Grizzlies in a back - to - back . Denver was coming off a grueling overtime loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday and it was clear they simply did n't have their legs tonight in a back - to - back set . They really struggled in the fourth quarter and allowed way too many easy baskets in the closing minutes . This was Danilo Gallinari 's second game back and he played great yet again , amassing 29 points , five rebounds and three assists in the loss . Jameer Nelson also had a nice game , as he contributed 17 points and seven assists . The godsend for this team all year has been Will Barton , but he really struggled tonight scoring just five points on 2 - for - 10 shooting . The Nuggets are now just 5 - 11 at home and that 's a scary trend considering they used to have one of the best home advantages in the NBA in years past . Denver has now lost nine of their last 10 games and they 'll look to break that slide on Wednesday against the Minnesota Timberwolves .
