Joakim Noah and the Chicago Bulls look to open 4-0 at home for the first time since the team’s last championship season tonight, when they host a Denver Nuggets club that’s dropped two in a row.

NBA basketball betting odds have the Nuggets listed as 2-point road favorites.

With Tyrus Thomas out for up to six weeks with a broken left forearm, Noah has stepped up his game in 2009-10, averaging a career-best 11.3 points, while ranking in the league’s top 10 in rebounding and blocked shots.

Luol Deng has also been working hard, averaging 16.7 points and 10.0 boards after missing the last 22 regular-season games of 2008-09, and the playoffs, with a stress fracture in his right tibia.

After opening 5-0 for the first time in 24 seasons, the Nuggets are looking to avoid a three-game skid following losses at Miami and Atlanta.
