To find Trail Blazers vs. Nuggets player stats, start with the NBA's official box score for Portland at Denver on November 2, 2026. Select the game, open the Box Score section, and compare the Portland and Denver player rows. The most useful columns are minutes (MIN), points (PTS), rebounds (REB), assists (AST), shooting splits, turnovers (TOV), and plus-minus (+/-). These explain much more than the leading scorer alone.
For the latest matchup, Portland defeated Denver 118–110 at Ball Arena. Contemporary postgame coverage reported 28 points for Portland's Deni Avdija, 17 points and 18 rebounds for Donovan Clingan, 35 points for Denver's Jamal Murray, and 26 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists for Nikola Jokić. These figures belong to the November 2 game, not the players' season averages. The official NBA game center is the reference for any later statistical corrections.
The league's game page lists tipoff on Monday, November 2, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−5). At Ball Arena in Denver that was 7:00 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST, UTC−7), equivalent to 2:00 a.m. UTC on Tuesday, November 3. U.S. daylight saving time ended on November 1, 2026; using October's offsets would be incorrect. A page that dates the game November 3 in UTC does not describe a separate contest.
An NBA box score summarizes what was recorded for each player during one game. The NBA Stats glossary explains the league's official terminology. Use the following quick reference when reading Portland–Denver numbers.
| Column | What it means | How to interpret it |
|---|---|---|
| MIN | Minutes played | Provides context for every counting statistic; 20 points in 20 minutes is not the same workload as 20 in 40. |
| PTS | Total points scored | Includes made two-pointers, three-pointers, and free throws. |
| REB / OREB / DREB | Total / offensive / defensive rebounds | Offensive rebounds extend possessions; defensive rebounds end an opponent's missed-shot opportunity. |
| AST | Assists | Passes credited with directly setting up a made basket; a pass does not automatically earn an assist. |
| FGM-FGA | Field goals made and attempted | Includes both two- and three-point shots but not free throws. |
| 3PM-3PA | Three-pointers made and attempted | Shows outside-shooting volume as well as accuracy. |
| FTM-FTA | Free throws made and attempted | Measures production at the foul line. |
| STL / BLK | Steals / blocked shots | Useful defensive events, but not a complete measure of defense. |
| TOV / PF | Turnovers / personal fouls | Indicates lost possessions and foul involvement. |
| +/- | Team scoring margin with that player on court | Context-dependent lineup result, not a standalone rating of individual quality. |
Portland's Donovan Clingan was credited in postgame reporting with 17 points and 18 rebounds, including nine offensive rebounds. That is a useful example of why the OREB column matters. A player collecting missed shots at the offensive end can create second chances even without leading the game in points. Compare his nine offensive boards against the team totals before concluding how much of Portland's extra possession advantage came from him.
For this matchup, postgame coverage recorded 21 Portland offensive rebounds against nine for Denver. That is relevant to the result because offensive boards can produce additional shot attempts, but it does not mean all 12 extra boards became made baskets. To make that distinction, inspect both teams' field-goal attempts and second-chance scoring when available.
Avdija's reported 28 points helped lead Portland's scoring, while Murray's 35 points led Denver. The fact that Murray scored more than Avdija does not mean Denver won: the team score combines contributions from the entire lineup, not just the highest scorer on either side.
Jokić's reported 26 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists illustrates a second way to read a player line. His points reflect his own scoring; his assists represent credited passes to teammates who scored; his rebounds reflect recovered missed shots. Do not add those raw numbers together and call the sum a recognized NBA efficiency metric. For a full comparison, inspect his attempts, turnovers, minutes, and the team's result while he played.
If a player shoots 7-for-14 from the field, the field-goal percentage is 50% because seven of 14 attempts went in. That is an illustrative calculation, not a claimed stat line from this game. Three-point percentage is calculated from three-point attempts only; free-throw percentage uses free-throw attempts only. A player can have a lower overall field-goal percentage but score efficiently if a large share of successful shots are worth three points or if the player makes several free throws.
The NBA glossary also defines effective field-goal percentage (eFG%), which gives made three-pointers extra weight, and true shooting percentage (TS%), which accounts for field goals and free throws. They help compare scoring efficiency, but small samples can be misleading. Three makes in four attempts produce a striking percentage; they do not establish a reliable shooting trend over a season.
In the November 2 matchup, the postgame account recorded Portland making 15 of 41 three-point attempts and Denver making nine of 26. That illustrates why both makes and attempts matter: Portland made more threes while also taking substantially more. Look at turnovers, offensive boards, and free throws before assigning the entire result to perimeter shooting.
Not by itself. A +10 means the player's team outscored its opponent by 10 points during that player's time on the floor. It does not mean the player personally created 10 points, and it cannot isolate the contribution of four teammates or opposing lineups. A reserve who plays with a successful unit may have a higher single-game plus-minus than a star who faces tougher minutes.
Use plus-minus as a clue to investigate rotations and game flow, not as a final player ranking. Pair it with playing time, scoring efficiency, defensive events, and a broader sample of games. If you need details beyond a standard box score, the NBA's player box-score database offers tools for looking across games.
When you see a disagreement, prioritize the final NBA box score over a search snippet, preseason projection, or incomplete live feed. Do not confuse a player listed as inactive or as "did not play" with someone who played and recorded zero points.
Start with each team's top three scorers, but record their minutes and field-goal attempts alongside points. Next compare primary ball handlers by assists and turnovers, then inspect rebounders by offensive versus defensive boards. Finish with team totals: field-goal attempts, three-point makes, offensive rebounds, and turnovers. This sequence helps answer not only who had the most points but how each team created and used possessions.
For readers checking the November 2, 2026 result, the key reference is Portland's 118–110 win in Denver. For any subsequent Trail Blazers–Nuggets meeting, begin a fresh box-score comparison with that game's date and ID rather than carrying these player numbers forward. The NBA game center and glossary are the two most useful official starting points.
