The Portland Trail Blazers ( 14 - 20 ) defeated the Denver Nuggets ( 12 - 21 ) 110 - 103 on Wednesday night . This win gave Portland their third - straight and they 've done that without Damian Lillard . The starters were the big difference in the game , as the Trail Blazers starting - five outscored Denver 's 76 - 53 . The Nuggets defense struggled yet again , as Portland shot nearly 50 percent from the field . The game was close throughout , but Portland continued to keep a distance from Denver and simply held them off til the final whistle . Denver is in the midst of a terrible slump right now , as this loss marks their seventh in their last eight games . It 's not just the defense that has slowed this team down , as both ends of the floor are a struggle right now . Much of that can be attributed to the injuries and it 's hard to imagine this team playing consistently until they are fully healthy . Will Barton played his homecoming game here and performed spectacularly , tallying 31 points , five rebounds and four assists in the defeat . Gary Harris also played well , as he scored 19 points and grabbed four rebounds . The good news is that Danilo Gallinari , Emmanuel Mudiay and Jusuf Nurkic are all due back to return within a week and this team will be greatly improved with those three starters back in the fold . The Nuggets wo n't play again until Saturday when they take on the Golden State Warriors in a game where they 'll surely be huge underdogs . The Blazers have been playing without Damian Lillard recently and playing well . He is unarguably the star of the team , but C.J . McCollum is doing a heck of a job controlling the offense in his absence . He had yet another great game here , as he contributed 29 points , three rebounds and four assists in the win . Allen Crabbe also had one of his best games of the season , as he scored 20 points and grabbed five boards . This young team is showing some promise and they should be an interesting team once Lillard returns . Portland 's next game will be on Thursday against the Utah Jazz .
