The 2018–19 Portland Trail Blazers season was the franchise's 49th season in the National Basketball Association (NBA).

Prior to the season, owner Paul Allen died at the age of 65, and thus the team's ownership was (and is currently) managed by his estate.

On March 25, 2019, the Trail Blazers clinched a playoff spot after defeating the Brooklyn Nets 148–144 in double overtime. Jusuf Nurkić suffered a season-ending injury in the same game.[1][2]

In the playoffs, the Trail Blazers defeated the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round, thanks to Damian Lillard's 37-foot series-clinching three pointer over Paul George in Game 5 at home, similar to his game-winner against the Houston Rockets in Game 6 of the First Round in the 2014 playoffs. The Trail Blazers thus won their first playoff series since 2016.

In the Semifinals, the Trail Blazers faced the Denver Nuggets. In Game 3 of the Semifinals, the Trail Blazers defeated the Nuggets 140–137 in the first quadruple overtime playoff game since 1953. They would eventually defeat the Nuggets in seven games, advancing to their first Western Conference finals since 2000. However, the Trail Blazers would be swept by the defending two-time NBA champion Golden State Warriors in four games. In that series, the Trail Blazers became the first team in 20 seasons to have a lead of 17 points or more in three straight playoff games and lose all three.[3]
