Overall, Jax sees a large worsening in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Nami. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN.

This difference could indicate that Nami doesn't help protection for him to deal more damage or that her allyship also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Jax is played together with Nami on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees compared to when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing with Nami.
Additionally, when Jax plays with Nami on the same side, he often receives a little more damage than when he plays alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Nami does a poor job of covering Jax in team fights.

Is Jax better when played alongside Nami?
There is no top champion pairing for Jax that will no matter what be his #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Nami is a very typical companion for Jax. By playing on the same team as Jax, she decreases their win rate by -0.9% to 49.9%. This shows that there is a weak synergy between Jax and Nami that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Nami has a lower difficulty than Jax. That means you don't need to be very careful when finding Nami comrades to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a lower level of skill to be able to play well with you.
When playing together, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s ability to deal magical damage. When paired, these two can deal quite a lot of AP type damage.
In contrast, by bringing Jax and Nami together, you will not be providing your team enough cover. Make sure to include other champs on your team that offsets this gap in their kit.
Regardless of your Nami ally's ability, you need to focus on maximizing your gold income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you follow these simple suggestions, you will do well anyway.
