How often do the Trail Blazers and Pelicans play each other?
The Portland Trail Blazers and the New Orleans Pelicans 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 Trail Blazers vs Pelicans 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 Trail Blazers and Pelicans in the same division?
No. The Portland Trail Blazers play in the Northwest Division and the New Orleans Pelicans in the Southwest. 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 Trail Blazers play the Pelicans?
Conference seeding. The Trail Blazers and the Pelicans 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 Trail Blazers and Pelicans meet in the playoffs?
Yes. Both clubs are in the Western Conference, so a Trail Blazers vs Pelicans 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.
