This difference may signal that Garen provides cover for her to deal more damage or that his presence also helps increase the match's duration.

This is contrasting evidence that she is worse when playing alongside Garen.
Moreover, when Nami plays with Garen on the same side, she on average takes a little more damage than when she fights alone. Receiving more damage may mean that Garen does a poor job of covering Nami in team fights.

By locking into the same team as Nami, he decreases their win rate by -1.6% to 47.5%. This shows that there is a harmful synergy between Nami and Garen that allows them to perform not as well together than alone.
Garen has a lower difficulty than Nami. That means Nami players don't need to be very careful when finding Garen teammates to go into battle on the same side as, as they will have to have a relatively low level of skill to be able to work well with you.
Playing on the same side, you should witness an overall large increase in your team’s capability to dish out massive AD. Together, these champions can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
Although, by aligning Nami and Garen together, you may not be giving your side a great deal of AP. Plan to bring other champions on your team that nullifies this hole in this pairing's abilities.
Regardless of your Garen ally's skill level, you need to focus on maximizing your income, staying alive by avoiding foolish fights, and taking down objectives. If you do this, you should do well, regardless.
