The New Orleans Pelicans and the Washington Wizards 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 Wizards get outside the NBA Finals.

Are the Pelicans and Wizards 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 Washington Wizards 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 Wizards?

For the Pelicans and the Wizards, 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 Wizards meet in the playoffs?

Only in the NBA Finals. The Pelicans are in the Western Conference and the Wizards 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 Wizards for the rest of the season?

Every Pelicans and Wizards 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 Washington Wizards are in.
