The Charlotte Hornets and the Portland Trail Blazers meet twice a regular season, once at each arena. Every club plays all fifteen clubs in the other conference twice, home and away, so this is the least often the league schedules any pairing — and it is the only kind of meeting the Hornets and the Trail Blazers get outside the NBA Finals.

Are the Hornets and Trail Blazers in the same division?

No, and not the same conference either. The Charlotte Hornets are a Eastern Conference club in the Southeast Division; the Portland Trail Blazers are a Western Conference club in the Northwest. That makes every meeting between them an inter-conference game.

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

For the Hornets and the Trail Blazers, the overall record and only that. An inter-conference game touches neither club’s division record nor its conference record — but the overall record is what the standings in each conference are ordered by in the first place, so these two games count for seeding exactly as much as any other.

Can the Hornets and Trail Blazers meet in the playoffs?

Only in the NBA Finals. The Hornets are in the Eastern Conference and the Trail Blazers in the Western Conference, and the playoffs are run inside each conference until the final round — so these two cannot be drawn against each other before it.

Where can I follow the Hornets and Trail Blazers for the rest of the season?
