DALLAS — The Dallas Mavericks will be without the services of Harrison Barnes and Devin Harris for at least the next two games.

Barnes continues to make progress after straining his right hamstring during the first week of training camp last month. The injury forced the seven-year veteran to miss the Mavs’ four preseason games and two regular season games.

Harris, meanwhile, strained his left hamstring in the regular season opener in Phoenix last Wednesday.

The Mavs host Chicago on Monday at 7:30 p.m. at American Airlines Center, play at Atlanta on Wednesday and at Toronto on Friday.

“It’s a hamstring and they take time,” coach Carlisle said. “He’s doing better — picking up the workouts.

“But he’s just not there yet. We’ll see where we are Friday.”

The same holds true for Harris.

“I don’t expect Devin to play this week either,” Carlisle said. “At least the next two (games).

“It has to be on Friday (before Harris returns).”
