The Memphis Grizzlies and the Charlotte Hornets will face each other in their fourth preseason game at the First Horizon Coliseum in North Carolina. Both teams come into this match with disappointing records and hope to turn things around on Wednesday.

The team started its preparations for the new season against the Detroit Pistons and suffered a 128-112 defeat before losing to the Boston Celtics. They continued this losing streak against the Atlanta Hawks in their last game, with the Eastern Conference team earning a 122-116 victory. With two games remaining in their preseason schedule, the Grizzlies will hope to win against the Hornets as the two teams meet at a neutral location.

On the other hand, the Hornets haven't fared any better, having lost two and won one of their three games so far. The team began its preseason with back-to-back games against the OKC Thunder. Hosting the Thunder in their first game, the Hornets suffered a 135-114 loss before being handed another defeat in Oklahoma. However, the team did manage to earn a 120-116 win against the Dallas Mavericks in their last game.
