Serbian outfits Ub and Liman lead the way in the season's standings with 300 and 165 points respectively.
Ub have triumphed at the opening three World Tour events this year in Utsunomiya, Manila and Prague, and are seeking to extend their winning streak beyond the current 14.
They are due to face Puerto Rico's San Juan in Pool A, with their opponents having beaten them in the final in Lausanne last year, and are also pitted against Lausanne Sport from the hosts Switzerland.
Strahinja StojaÄić, a FIBA 3x3 World Cup winner with Serbia in June, has been one of the stars who has contributed to Ub's success, winning two most valuable player trophies so far this season.
World Cup team-mate and Olympic bronze medallist Dejan Majstorović, Marko Branković and Nemanja Barać complete the Ub team in Lausanne.
They are set to face Lausanne in the opening match of the main tournament tomorrow prior to taking on San Juan.
Liman are the defending champions on the 3x3 World Tour, but their best finish this season was second in Manila.
They placed fifth in Utsunomiya and eighth in Prague.
Aleksandar Ratkov, a Tokyo 2020 bronze medallist with Serbia, is expected to star in their Pool B ties against Dusseldorf from Germany and Jeddah from Saudi Arabia. Read More..
