The Denver Nuggets and the Portland Trail Blazers meet four times every regular season, twice at each arena. The NBA's 82-game schedule is fixed by relationship rather than drawn each year: sixteen games against the four clubs in your own division, which is why the Northwest pairings are the ones that come round most.

Are the Nuggets and Trail Blazers in the same division?

Yes. The Denver Nuggets and the Portland Trail Blazers both play in the Northwest Division of the Western Conference. A division is five clubs, so Nuggets vs Trail Blazers is one of the ten pairings that division is made of, and it is the pairing type the NBA schedules most often.

What is at stake when the Nuggets play the Trail Blazers?

Seeding, and the Northwest Division itself. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker the NBA applies between two clubs that finish level, so if the Nuggets and the Trail Blazers end the season on the same record these four games settle it between them. Division record is the tiebreaker after that, and both clubs’ division records are built partly out of this same fixture. A division title is worth the tiebreaker rather than a guaranteed seed — the league dropped the guarantee in 2015 — so the standing these games move is the conference one.

Can the Nuggets and Trail Blazers meet in the playoffs?

Yes. Both clubs are in the Western Conference, so a Nuggets vs Trail Blazers playoff series is possible anywhere from the first round through the Western Conference Finals, on top of the regular-season meetings — and they can meet in the play-in tournament before that if both finish seventh to tenth.
