Charlotte Hornets vs Memphis Grizzlies Prediction
The Charlotte Hornets may be coming off a win over the Heat, but they’ve lost 12 of their last 14 preseason games overall. As I mentioned in my previous Memphis Grizzlies write up, this is a roster that has a ton of playing experience. Due to injuries and suspensions last season, a lot of the back end of this Grizzlies roster saw real NBA minutes. That helps in spots like this. The Grizzlies should have success in these preseason games because even their second and third unit is seasoned more than usual. I’ll lay the points with the Grizzlies.
