The Cats played with two fit men on the bench during the final three quarters at the SCG, with Duncan and Narkle both hurt in the early stages of the contest.
Duncan and Narkle will undergo scans, but Scott expects the hamstrung duo will travel with the squad to Perth on Saturday.
"I don't know whether this is a positive or not, but they were both issues where they were either pushed or really stretching," coach Chris Scott said.
"It wasn't just your standard hammy, when you are running and it came out of nowhere.
"The initial feedback is that they were quite minor."
Duncan was put through his paces at quarter-time before club medicos decided to put a line through his name.
"Duncan was assessed for a long time and there was the real possibility he could come back, so that's a good sign," Scott said.
Meanwhile, Lions hard nut Mitch Robinson (corked quad) was unable to return to the field after limping off in the third quarter.
McCluggage (shoulder) and Cameron Rayner (knee) were also hurt during the loss, but both played out the rest of the game.
Lions football boss David Noble said the trio were all good chances to play GWS next Saturday.
He said Robinson had good movement in his leg on Friday despite the heavy cork, while scans on revealed no structural damage for McCluggage.
"It settled really well and the benefit is he came on and finished the game and we were really proud of his efforts after physical duress," Noble said.
"We'll probably wait and see, but with an eight day break we're hopeful he'll get up and play the next round."
