Denver Nuggets vs Portland Trail Blazers Final Score & Over/Under Result — Oct 31, 2025

Portland held off Denver 109–107, a two-point escape that hinged entirely on the second quarter. The combined total finished at 216, well below what looked possible early: after a balanced 44-point opening quarter, the teams exploded for 66 combined points in Q2, raising the half to 110. That pace didn't sustain. The second half arrived at 106 combined points, nearly identical to the first-half total, with the decisive Q4 bringing 64 points to keep Portland's lead intact.

Denver came in riding superior recent form—128.2 points per game over four games—but couldn't close out on the road. Jamal Murray led the Nuggets with 22 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists, while Nikola Jokić posted 21 points, 14 rebounds, and 9 assists; Aaron Gordon chipped in 14. Portland's Deni Avdija answered with 23 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists, and Shaedon Sharpe contributed 19 points. Jerami Grant rounded out the scoring with 16 points and 5 rebounds. Portland's third quarter proved critical—holding Denver to just 24 points while scoring 18 themselves—before the Trail Blazers' 38-point fourth quarter sealed the narrow victory at home. The low-scoring third frame pinched the total, preventing what might have been a higher-scoring evening.
