How often do the Clippers and Lakers play each other?
The Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers 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 Pacific pairings are the ones that come round most.
Are the Clippers and Lakers in the same division?
Yes. The Los Angeles Clippers and the Los Angeles Lakers both play in the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. A division is five clubs, so Clippers vs Lakers 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 Clippers play the Lakers?
Seeding, and the Pacific Division itself. Head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker the NBA applies between two clubs that finish level, so if the Clippers and the Lakers 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 Clippers and Lakers meet in the playoffs?
Yes. Both clubs are in the Western Conference, so a Clippers vs Lakers 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.
Where can I follow the Clippers and Lakers for the rest of the season?
Every Clippers and Lakers game Kalshi lists has its own market page, with the moneyline, the spread, the total and the player props built on that fixture.
