SALT LAKE CITY — \u2014 Jrue Holiday<\/a> scored a season-high 31 points and Donovan Clingan<\/a> added 23 points and 18 rebounds as the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a> beat Utah 135-119 on Thursday night \u2014 hours after the Jazz lost <\/a>Jaren Jackson Jr<\/a>. to knee surgery and were fined $500,000 by the NBA<\/a> for sitting healthy stars.<\/p>\n

Clingan also had a career-high seven assists and three blocks. Holiday had nine rebounds and seven assists to lead Portland (27-29) to its fourth victory in five games.<\/p>\n

Jerami Grant<\/a> added 18 points and Scoot Henderson<\/a> scored 15 in his fourth game this season.<\/p>\n

Brice Sensabaugh<\/a> had 28 points while Ace Bailey<\/a>, Kyle Filipowski<\/a> and Isaiah Collier<\/a> each scored 15 for Utah (18-38).<\/p>\n

In his first NBA game, Utah two-way player Blake Hinson<\/a> scored 11 points and hit a 3-pointer to pull the Jazz to 111-108. But the Blazers responded with an 11-2 run capped by Holiday’s layup to clinch the win.<\/p>\n

Clingan sparked a 10-0 spurt with dominating play on both ends to give the Trail Blazers a 75-65 lead. Portland outscored the short-handed Jazz 40-23 in the third quarter to take control.<\/p>\n

Jackson, who led the Jazz to a 2-1 record since arriving from Memphis in a trade last week, did not play. In a post-trade physical exam, Jackson was diagnosed with a benign growth in his left knee and will have surgery next week.<\/p>\n

Lauri Markkanen<\/a> sat out to rest on the second game of a back-to-back, and Keyonte George<\/a> was sidelined with a sprained right ankle. Earlier in the day, the NBA fined Utah $500,000 for not playing Markkanen and Jackson in the fourth quarter of games at Orlando and Miami. The Jazz beat the Heat 115-111 on Monday without their stars.<\/p>\n

The bench got even shorter for Utah when Vince Williams Jr<\/a>., who arrived with Jackson from Memphis, got two technicals with 8:59 left until halftime and was ejected. Oscar Tshiebwe<\/a> then received stitches above his eye after getting elbowed in the first quarter and entered concussion protocol. Rotation regulars Kevin Love<\/a> and Jusuf Nurkic<\/a> were healthy but did not play.<\/p>\n

The Trail Blazers were missing their top two scorers as well with Deni Avdija<\/a> (back) and Shaedon Sharpe<\/a> (calf) unavailable.<\/p>\n
