The Charlotte Hornets face the Memphis Grizzlies Friday for their final preseason matchup before their Oct. 21 season opener against the Brooklyn Nets. Thus far, the Hornets are 1-2 through their first three matchups with losses to both Brooklyn and Boston. Charlotte's lone win to this point was a 15-point home victory against the Milwaukee Bucks. Early on, turnovers have been an issue for the Hornets, having committed 69 in their first three games, an average of 23 per contest. Against the Grizzlies, Charlotte will be hopeful to take care of the ball and eager to even their preseason record at 2-2.
