The Golden State Warriors have ruled Stephen Curry and Draymond Green out of Friday's game at the Detroit Pistons as they rest a number of players.

The Warriors lead the NBA after a stunning 13-2 start, in which Curry and Green have been influential.

Curry is leading the early race for the scoring title with 29.5 points per game, while Green has also started all 15 games.

But that sequence will end with the final stop on a four-game road trip at the Pistons, who are struggling at 4-10 despite having the first overall draft pick in Cade Cunningham.

Andre Iguodala and Otto Porter have also been rested, meaning Golden State will be without four of their eight most-used players in terms of minutes.

Since Green came into the league in 2012-13, the Warriors are 17-27 when both he and Curry are missing.

Klay Thompson is yet to return from consecutive major injuries, and the Warriors are 7-22 when all three of their stalwarts have sat out.
