The Utah Jazz and the Los Angeles Lakers meet three or four times a regular season, depending on where the league’s conference rotation puts them. Of the ten conference clubs outside its own division, each team plays six four times and four of them three times, and which group a given opponent falls into rotates from season to season — so a Jazz vs Lakers season is either three games or four, and which one is a property of that year’s schedule rather than of the pairing.

Are the Jazz and Lakers in the same division?

No. The Utah Jazz play in the Northwest Division and the Los Angeles Lakers in the Pacific. Both divisions sit in the Western Conference, so this is a conference game between clubs from different divisions rather than a division rivalry — it counts in each club’s conference record but not in its division one.

What is at stake when the Jazz play the Lakers?

Conference seeding. The Jazz and the Lakers are both Western Conference clubs, so the result goes into the conference record that separates them in the standings, and with it the difference between a top-six seed, a play-in place at seventh to tenth, and no postseason at all. If these two finish level, their head-to-head result is read before that record is.

Can the Jazz and Lakers meet in the playoffs?

Yes. Both clubs are in the Western Conference, so a Jazz 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.
