Every listed fixture either club plays next, whoever the opponent is, with the Kalshi market for each.
How often do the Pelicans and Hornets play each other?
The New Orleans Pelicans and the Charlotte Hornets 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 Pelicans and the Hornets get outside the NBA Finals.
Are the Pelicans and Hornets in the same division?
No, and not the same conference either. The New Orleans Pelicans are a Western Conference club in the Southwest Division; the Charlotte Hornets are a Eastern Conference club in the Southeast. That makes every meeting between them an inter-conference game.
What is at stake when the Pelicans play the Hornets?
For the Pelicans and the Hornets, 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 Pelicans and Hornets meet in the playoffs?
Only in the NBA Finals. The Pelicans are in the Western Conference and the Hornets in the Eastern 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 Pelicans and Hornets for the rest of the season?
Every Pelicans and Hornets game Kalshi lists has its own market page, with the moneyline, the spread, the total and the player props built on that fixture. The NBA market index carries the rest of the league, and the matchup index carries every other pairing the New Orleans Pelicans and the Charlotte Hornets are in.
