Where to watch Hornets vs. Grizzlies today: Channel, live stream, time, TV schedule for NBA preseason game image
The NBA regular season is just around the corner, but first the Hornets and Grizzlies will finish out the preseason with a Friday night clash.
Despite the major loss of franchise player LaMelo Ball, the Hornets are looking to be a competitive team this season. Charlotte's still looking to hit its stride after a couple losses in the preseason, but strong production from Brandon Miller and the hopeful return of Kon Knueppel should be a helpful boost.

The Grizzlies are in a similar transitional phase, hoping to ultimately become a bigger league threat with the help of rookie Cameron Boozer. Memphis' previous star core is no longer, with young talents like Zach Edey and Cedric Coward replacing the likes of Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr.
