The Golden State Warriors are considered to be the best team in the NBA right now with their 36-2 record. However, injuries are starting to plague the team with Draymond Green possibly missing the next two games to rest his lower body.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the Warriors are planning to rest the NBA's leading triple-double machine against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday and Los Angeles Lakers the next night. Green is known as a fierce competitor and will have to be persuaded in order to take a break.

"Yeah, I look forward to having that conversation with him. Guys are worn down, and I think they understand now that if we come to them with the training staff saying it's a smart idea to give them a night off here or there, they'll be more receptive to that," interim head coach Luke Walton said.

Green has felt discomfort in his lower body in the past couple of weeks. He can be seen covered with ice packs from his hip, ankles, legs, knees and feet inside the locker room. The team is currently in one of the most brutal stretches of the season with five games in seven nights and fatigue will be setting in.

The 25-year-old is averaging a team-high of 34.9 minutes per game and has played in each of Golden State's first 38 games, per Basketball Reference. He also averaged 37 minutes per game when Harrison Barnes went down with an ankle injury and missed 16 games from Nov. 28 through Jan. 2.

Now with Barnes healthy again, he could start at power forward in the Warriors' small ball lineup or have Marreese Speights for a more conventional one. Filling up Green's offense and defense is hard, considering that he averages 15.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.4 blocks per game.

The good news for the Warriors is that the Nuggets and Lakers are not exactly two of the best teams in the NBA right now. The Nuggets have a 14-24 record while the Lakers have 8-31, which are good for 11th and last place in the Western Conference standings respectively.

The Warriors have a chance to win 70 games and even beat the 1995-1996 Chicago Bulls' 72-10 record. However, Andrew Bogut told FOX Sports that the best plan is to rest their best players once they secure the top spot sometime in March.

The Australian has a point, considering a second NBA title is more important than 73 regular season wins. The Warriors have a legitimate chance to win back-to-back championships, but it will be hard to do it if all of them are not healthy come the postseason.
