Howard competed against Paul for years.
While Paul is no longer in his prime, he is still capable of running an offense, which will likely make the game even easier for 2024 Rookie of The Year Victor Wembanyama.
The Spurs have been in rebuilding mode, so they are coming off a year where they were the 14th seed in the Western Conference with a 22-60 record.
