The red-hot Golden State Warriors will be severely undermanned when they travel to take on the Detroit Pistons Friday night.
Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Otto Porter Jr. and Andre Iguodala have all been ruled out for tonight's game in Detroit. Good opportunity to rest on the rough end of a back-to-back.

As reported by NBC Sports Bay Area's Kendra Andrews, Curry is dealing with a left hip contusion, Green is out with a right thigh contusion, Iguodala is sitting with right knee soreness and Porter Jr. will be unavailable due to a left foot injury. Curry, Green and Porter Jr. all played in the Dubs' Thursday night road victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers, while the 37-year-old Iguodala did not.
Golden State trailed Cleveland by 13 heading into the fourth quarter before Curry erupted. The Warriors outscored the Cavs 36-8 across the final 12 minutes to win 104-89. Curry finished the outing with a game-high 40 points.
The two-time MVP is currently leading the NBA in scoring at 29.5 points per game, three-pointers made per game at 5.7 and three-point attempts per game at 13.5. He's also currently posting a career-high 6.1 rebounds along with 6.5 assists and 1.7 steals per game.
The Warriors are off to an NBA-best 13-2 start, while the Pistons are currently second-to-last in the Eastern Conference at 4-10.
